Didn't even think of that; thank you very much!Have you considered the Browning Hi-Power? Its available with ten round mags, is steel on steel, is still in production, etc. Its also considered to be a very accurate pistol.

Again, another which I never thought of. That's why I began this thread. You people have the most experience and knowledge around. Thanks!https://www.fnamerica.com/products/handguns/fns-series/fns-9/
It comes with either 10 or 17 round mags depending on local laws.

Does it have steel slide on steel rails? (As far as I'm concerned, SS is as good or better than non-SS).Beag_nut
One vote for the Beretta. Mine is a commercial M9 which is essentially identical to the 92F. It is a double-action/single-action which means a long, heavy intial trigger pull (about 13lb on mine but I put in a Wilson hammer spring bringing it to about 8 1/2 lb now). For range use you could just cock the pistol manually for the first round and have single action (about 4 1/2 to 5lb) for the rest of the magazine. 10 round Beretta mags are available (i'm in CA). I haven't had mine past 10 yards yet but it's one ragged hole from rest at that range. Big, easily visable sights.

For some reason, their website won't load for me, which is not the best way to a possible new relationship. Will try again later.HK VP9 or P30
Does the SR9c have steel rails in the polymer frame? And a steel slide? Can't tell from Ruger's site. My LC9sPro has a polymer frame with an aluminum "sub-frame" or chassis which the steel slide rides on.Another vote for Ruger SR9c. I love mine. Best of 3 9's I've owned by far.
I'm trading it for an LC9s soon, but that's driven by size and concealability.
You didn't mention price, so Sig 210.
I cannot find the P210 on Sig's current website, other than a news mention from 2011, about its improvements. I also couldn't find out which models are made in the USA (in Exeter, NH?). I like Sigs in general, despite their prices.You didn't mention price, so Sig 210. The American made ones should be out pretty soon.
I wish makers (like Ruger) would make it easier to find this info. It isn't on the website's page for the RAP, for example.beag_nut
The Ruger SR9c has a glass-filled nylon frame and either a stainless steel or alloy steel slide. As Ruger describes it there is a steel camblock which serves as part of the barrel locking system, the recoil absorption block, and has steel slide rails built in to it.
I doubt the rails are aluminum, they wouldn't last very long.The 225a1 is steel on aluminum.
