I went through quite a number of handguns before deciding which one (or three) is my favorite. I have Sig Sauer, Springfield Armory, HK, Ruger, and Smith & Wesson most of which are semi-autos.
I like the HK .45C a lot because it has great features, is very accurate and fits my hand well. My overall favorite is my Sig 226 which shoots exceptionally well, AND, I purchased the .22 conversion kit with two mags. This is a terrific combination. It allows me to do a lot of practicing with the .22 ammo, work out my deficiencies on the cheap, and then go to the more expensive 9mm ammo when I am "dialed in".
So, 9mm it is my Sig 226 as a favorite. In .45 caliber I prefer the HK.
All this decison making is a matter of shooting a lot and comparing weapons. I change my preference in HOT WEATHER. I do not want to sweat all over my better guns, but I do want to maintain discreet concealed carry.
TIP: I bought a nylon CAMERA CASE to carry my handgun and extra magazine. It works very well and goes totally un-noticed in public settings. I have my cell phone attached to the outside. I have never been quizzed about the contents of my "camera case". This method allows me to carry ANY handgun with ease, concealed, but with ready access.
