STI Spartan 5" 9mm.
A million times better shooting experience than that plastic fantastic everyone buys then eventually sells.
Accurate, nice looking, fine interface.
You will not regret it.
Seriously.
Nothing comes close.

Have a look at the S&W M&P. Nice guns and decent price.

Shot a few different types and found the staff to be very helpful.  Actually ended up buying a smaller gun frame than intended.  The S&W MP felt really good in my hands.  With the gun being so light noticed I was putting all my rounds to the left of the target.  Will take a little to learn with the gun, but hey that's part of the fun :tup:  Thanks for all the inputs and tips about gun models and Skagit shooting range.  Next handgun will be bought through them!   Handguns are not my highlight in shooting as you can tell in the pic, but with enough practice hope to turn that around.  Always been a long gun type of guy :chuckle:

Nice!! Excellent choice. For the size of the pistol, it feels very good in the hand. Very comfortable in my Alien Gear holster.

The best one is the one that fits comfortably in your hand. All of the major manufacturers & most of the smaller ones make good quality pieces.

I made a purchase last year that I had wanted for years!

Kimber Tactical II in .45,  the best shooting pistol Ive ever owned and or shot!  And I love my XDM in .40 but its nothing compared to my Kimber

I actually love and adore my Kimber Warrior .45,
I carry my XD,  :peep:

LOL
