I'm looking for a double stack 9mm capable of SAO or cocked and locked carry with a light rail. I have been spoiled by the 1911 trigger and love the size and capacity of my G17. SAO triggers though I just love them so much, I know the HK's have the ability to run like 1911's but they are a little thick compared to my Glock so what other opptions are there?

Taurus, this:

Actually, prob the most reliable Taurus auto pistol **in 9mm**, the .40's are finicky but i know people that have carried the 9mm platform for twenty years (w/o rail of course) w/o issue...

Look at the HK P30S,  adjustable back and individual side panels, 9mm and comes with a safety with a decocker on the rear of the gun next to the hammer.

STI makes a double stack 1911 in 9mm    It is on the 2011 frame.

I had a serious case of stupids today and forgot the HP......more coffee needed.  I shoulda never mentioned the Taurus ahead of it...Go with the HP and have a level I tactical package done from Cylinder & Slide, and one of their combat hammers installed.

Springfield makes the EMP that is pretty awesome, its small and expensive though.

There's always the Sig 226 X-5.

Might want to find a place to sit down before they tell you the price, though.

This.  You put the thinnest side panels on the P30 and it's nowhere near as thick as a G17.

CZ-75,  they make so many versions one has to have a rail.

The P30 is the best suggestion here imho.  I'd run like hell from a Taurus.

I love CZ's.  Hell I just got a P-01 myself.  But if your are worried about trigger feel, you should probably pass.  Worst stock triggers on any service pistol anywhere...unless you spring for the Shadow.

The P30 is 1.3" ish.

Changing the side panels doesn't make the pistol thinner as a hole, as either the slide (P30) or safety (P30S) is the widest part of the pistol, but the grip can be made much thinner than the grip of a Glock 17, if grip size is the concern.

slide thickness is a concern for me, carrying iwb like I do. The High Power looks nice but that's a lot of coin to put in to an already not cheap gun. CZ looks nice, wasn't there a Sig like the 220 that was SAO but in 9mm?

The width dimensions that HK uses includes both slide release levers.  Which makes the P30 look like a very wide pistol by the numbers.  Kind of what you were alluding to.
