I am starting to look for a pistol. It will be my first centerfire, I have shot a few including a .40 S&W Sigma and .45 Kimber Custom II. I hated the Sigma and was quite fond of the the 1911. I am looking for a gun I can use for USPSA competition, side arm for hunting and running around the woods, and later non-concealed carry defense. The guns I am looking at are the Sig P226, Springfield XDM, Taurus PT1911AR, and Taurus PT92/99. I want something that can be used for all the above, reliable, ability for use with light bearing holster(blackhawk serpa lv2 preferably), and a big factor is price. I also cant decide as to caliber, i'm used to the big .45 but would prefer either the 9mm or .40S&W. I'm wary to the 9mm stopping power but like price and capacity. At this point I'm leaning to the Sig P226 in .40...
