Do some research on the Star Model BM (mentioned above) in 9mm. I have had my for some time now. It is a solid gun that has shot every round that I put in it from the cheapest surplus ammo to the Speer Gold Dot's that I use for carry. It has 1911 style controls and is easy to take down for cleaning. I found mine at a local shop for $175 out the door, but I have seen them for around $190 at gun shows.
There are a few people who will dog this gun because it was made in Spain or because the maker is out of business but you should consider it because it fits your budget and it is in a caliber that is cheap enough to get plenty of shooting time. The other $100 that you were going to thow in will almost buy 1,000 rounds of 9mm!
