if you want to get another thousand rounds under your belt, get good practice and have lots of fun, get a ruger markIII and lots of cheap (relatively) ammo.
My absolute favorite right now is a Ruger Mark III with 10 magazines. As for larger calibers I love shooting a S&W 686 with a 4" barrel. Unfortunately I do not have one in my collection yet. For what I have available, I would have to say my G19 with 10+ magazines.
I only have 2 handguns for the moment, but I regularly get the opportunity to shoot friends' as well. I shot a .45 Springfield XD this weekend for the first time in fact and liked it a lot.
I would say my favorites are the single action revolvers though. I'm a bit nostalgic about the old west so that may be why. My Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt is a joy to shoot and very accurate.
For me, it's an odd tie between a glock 19 (with a smooth faced trigger and a 25 cent trigger job) and a plain old government size 1911 (complete with a spur hammer and gi sights).
In 22lr I like my Mark II and P22, but for different reasons.
In a tradtional revolver cartridge, S&W M57 in 41 Mag
In a traditonal auto cartridge, Kimber Pro CDP in 45 ACP, well really any 1911 style pistol.
Well alot of these guys have some really nice guns. If your on a budget like I am I went with an XD9 (highly recommended over the 45 due to the grip size...You'd have to be a giant for that huge grip to be comfortable) and my personal favorite the 6 inch full lug gp100. I think the GP is every bit as good as the smiths I've shot and it cost me about 3/4 the price. Of course I have slicked it up quite a bit after the initial break in and that helped alot.
Personally I love my Colt "Python", but the .357 Magnum (revolvers: no bias included to other manufactures) are my favorite, I may not always want to shoot .357 mag. so I will switch to .38 Spl. from time to time.
Revolve - My 6 inch Python built in the early 70's with custom trigger job
Semi-Auto - My EAA Witness in .40 S&W (rebranded Tafoglio TZ-75 CZ-75 clone made in Italy) with tuned up by Teddy Jacobson (He told me he preffered reworking the TZ clones over the real CZ due to better metal)
