Two is one one is none, get two M&Ps if you want striker fired or FNPs if you want DA/SA.
HKs are gigantic (if they fit your hand well that's great though). And the mags are more expensive.
Better yet buy one (M&P would be my choice out of all those by a mile) and take a class with the rest of the money and then buy a second later on down the road...
Glock 21 SF is another great option you didn't mention, assuming you aren't anti-glock for some reason. I've shot the heck out of mine and love it.
My motto has been: the more guns the better!! I have a Ruger P90...the thing's a tank but it shoots well & is very reliable. Not really a CCW. I've heard of it referred to as the AK of the handgun realm. Not really a "sexy" gun, but will put a bullet downrange & hit consistently. MP 45 would be another really nice addition to the Ruger...actually I don't think that you'd go wrong with any of those handguns, though! Just remember to save some $$$$ for ammo!
I have a guy at the local gunstore that has a HK 45 that he carries while at work and it is a very nice piece. He has nothing but positive things to say about that gun. Well worth the money.
Hm... I am now a diehard CZ fan. Dunno, I love my 75 anyway. Finally got it out to the quarry for some trigger time last weekend. Accurate, was knocking 12-gauge shells around from... 5-10 yards pretty easily. Heavy, soaks up most of the recoil. Comfortable in the hand. I have a new best friend. The difference between this gun and the Sigma I used to have is night and day.
If the CZ97s are anywhere near as good, I'd grab one in a heartbeat.
Having had a chance to play with them a bit when I was searching for a replacement for the Sigma, the M&P series are also very nice. If I were to pick 2 from the list, I'd get an M&P and the CZ. And the CZ looks damned classy with some nice wooden grips on her. :F
