It would be hard to go wrong with a Colt or a SIG.
Buy quality and shoot the heck out of it.

My Kimber is the best handgun I have ever owned. Remember that when you sell many more units than your competitors, you will see a higher number of problems in your guns. This does not mean a higher RATE of failure than any other gun. I use mine for everything and I would carry it to war tomorrow if I were allowed to.
I second that. I have a tactical and even with the factory sights it out shoots me. If you bought some adjustable target sights you could drive finishing nails. As far as reliablity I haven't had any FTF's but don't have a very hight volume through it, however I haven't heard anything bad about it, and some of the tourture test's I've watched were pretty impressive.Go for the XD45!
I'm a big fan of the S&W 4506-1......yeah, they're no longer made, but you can find some in like new shape for around $600.

Well if you are going to lug it around on your hip, you just can't beat the Glock Slim Frame Model 36. It wont rust, bust, collect dust, implode or explode I'm told. It ain't got all them fancy gadgets to fool with either when you shoot it or clean it. You also don't need a quart of oil to keep it running either.....
The unique design of the Glock trigger will take some getting used to. It is a two stage trigger. The first stage releases the safeties and cocks the weapon fully and the second stage activates the firing system. Now for accuracy of a Glock. well just take a look at this:I just went through this very exercise. I was thinking of getting a bigger caliber than the 380/9's I have. I couldn't decide between 40 and 45. Then I had a chance to shoot a buddy's Colt Commander and, man, did I ever get 1911itis realllll bad. I found a NIB RIA Compact Tactical for $450, almost but didn't get it. I found a used Kimber Pro Carry sort of local, almost got that but didn't. I think I fondled dang near every 45 in town, several times. Then I started thinking that whatever I got I'd want to CC. The G30 really felt like holding the business end of a bat. The M&P seemed like the grip would get in the way. The XD 4" seemed real thick and long. So, I decided on the G36. The barrel is half way between the 1911 Officer and Commander size. The length is about the same as the 1911 Officers. It's a tenth of an inch thinner than the 1911. I've read mostly good things about Glock accuracy and realiability.
Of course, I just mailed the check today so can't say for sure it's the right gun. Give me two weeks and I'll let you know.
