Check with the hospital to see if they will allow you to pay in installments. I have been in your shoes before and the hospital was very accomodating. That way you might be able to keep both.

+1 on STI.

Rock Rivers have a cult following and command a premium. I second checking Gunbroker to get an idea.

If it failed to stop in a deadly force situation, I'm betting they are not here to answer your question.

I have been very happy with the Dawson Precision FO front sight I put on my Ranger II. My experience has been that if it is dark enough that the FO isn't visible, it is dark enough that I cannot see the target.

STI has the best one I've seen in the $1000 price range.

I was not meaning to imply that you were going to base your choice entirely on the opinion of others. I did mean to imply that there is no one here who can tell you what you will shoot best. You have to determine that yourself by actually shooting the pistols you are interested in. Carry the...

Making your list if the first step. The second step is to shoot the pistols on your list. Third step is to purchase the one you shoot the best. Getting an internet forum to pick for you is not a good solution.

I carry an STI Ranger II in 9mm. Best pistol I have ever owned. Got it for under $1000 before tax from Dawson Precision. 9mm here is about $11/50rds and .45 is closer to $19/50rds. I'm able to shoot a lot more 9mm for the same allowance.

Counting on a single round of any pistol caliber can be lead to disappointment.

+1 on naming the color "Diaper"

I am going to go out on a limb here and assume that you are new to firearms. Picking a firearms on capacity is just not the way I would start. It is much more important to find something that fits your hand, points naturally and then go from there. And while capacity is something to consider...

1911 9mm... My favorite combination! Shot one at the range, had to have one. Wound up with an STI Ranger II and it is just too much fun to shoot! Low recoil and it will tear the x ring out of a target at 15 yards which is about as good as I have ever shot anything. Currently my "everything"...
