Try to get a Browning Highpower in your hands.  They're well made and shoot well.  It's a design that's been around for a long time with good reason.  It works.  And, I think you'll come in under budget.

You may want to go to youtube and take a look at some of the video reviews done on each gun.  As I mentioned in a previous post, the Browning Hi Power is my top choice.  But, as one of the reviews pointed out, BHPs don't take +P ammo well because the rails aren't beefy enough.  They were made to shoot 115 gr FMJ which is what most other weapons were using at the time BHPs were developed.  The reviewer also noted that it has the production run of any handgun and designed by Browning himself.  Who knew?

I've had a  Browning High Power since 1995.  It's been a terrific gun.  Very solid, easy to shoot, and deadly accurate.  Part of the reason I like it is the way it fits my small hand.  Of course, I'm biased, but I'd put it up against any that you are considering.

Just heard about this web site and thought I'd sign up.  Looking forward to seeing everyone's posts.
