Sorry about another 'help me choose' thread....I've recently got my pistol license here after training for a while on the pistol club's .22s. I'm now in a position to buy a 9mm semi automatic. I've fairly well decided on a Beretta 92FS brigadier model (blued finish), but I'd like some suggestions of handguns to compare it against before I buy.
My criteria are;
barrel length of (at least) 120mm (4.7") due to the new laws here.
SA/DA or possibly SA (can't carry it do there's no point in DAO)
Magazines are limited to 10 round capacity here so this does tend to favour handguns designed for singlestack magazines - so if anyone can recommend a slimmer gun than the beretta I'd like to compare them.
Price is not a major consideration - I want a new, quality gun that will last a long time.
Searching these forums, it seems that people also recommend Sig-Sauer, Browning hi-power and CZ-75 especially. What models fit the above criteria ? (CZ are not that much cheaper than berettas here). Other brands I've seen advertised here include H&K, Glock (I'm not a big fan though), Para Ordanance, Tangfolio and Taurus.
As I don't know much about handguns, I appreciate your help.
