Thank you very much. I have never held the Silver or SX3. There is a gun show in Tenn today, so hopefully I can shoulder all three. The SX3 would be my next choice followed by the Silver. I just hope they have the SBE II and SX3 in 24" barrel models. I might just get a glock with the money saved from the SX3, if I decide to go that route. The only thing that steers me away from the SX3 is the gas system, I am a stickler about cleaning and the inertia system seems so easy to clean.
