Save yourself 250 bucks or so (if you budget is $600 and below) and get a Canik TP9SA. Retails anywhere from $325 - $375. I own two, an FDE and the all black. Regardless of the price point, this is hands down one of the best pistols I've ever shot. Quality is great and the trigger....holy shite the trigger . I own all the popular calibers (.45, .40, 9mm, .380 etc.) and IMO, the 9mm is a good in-between. The Canik TP9SA is a single action (which I actually prefer) and it comes with a fairly decent holster, cleaning kit, an extra 18 rd mag, and easy loader attachment and something else I think. My wife actually prefers this pistol over the smaller carry pistols like the Ruger LCP9 and the 380 bodyguard, even though the Canik TP9 is a full size pistol.
