Got an itch that needs scratchin'

[SwoopSJ]

Thanks for the input guys.  The list of handguns I provided are the ones already in my collection, not guns I was trying to choose between.  I was providing it just to eliminate a few suggestions (everyone says get a Glock  ).  I hadn't considered a 1911 in 9mm (any suggestions?) nor had I thought about the FN.  Thanks for the help and please, keep it coming.

If you like 1911 styling, but in a 9mm, there is one choice, the Browning Highpower. Its one of the oldest and finest combat handguns on the planet. A good single action auto thats accurate reliable, hight cap (14 rds) and slim enough to conceal. The Belgian models are pricey, but worth it. You literally can't go wrong with one.

I think you'll find they are ALL Belgium made and assembled here, at least new ones are...Except for very high end Browning shotguns, I think they've moved the manufucturing base overseas.

The one I keep drooling over is Kimber.  Kimber is one of the high mid price guns, great quality, and they have three different price points (As the finer points improve the price goes up).  

Team Match II is on my list, but it takes more pennies than I can part with quickly.  If I remember correctly it is around$1,300.  Kimber does have others for less, but they don't put them all in the consumer catalog or web site, so talk to a good dealer.

I'm going to recommend a pistol for fun.

Go with a Judge.  Just a lot of fun to shoot.  We rolled and tossed clays in a sand pit and fired away with 2 1/2 in 6 shot and just had a hoot.  Well, until the game officer arrived and told us it was verboten to shoot where we were... unless we let him shoot it too.  Then it was fun again.
