The other thing that would be nice is an accessory rail and a gun that comes in .45. 9mm is good for my subcompact, but on a larger frame, .45 would be nice.
Now you've got me looking at the stainless P220R Elite and Carry Elite! I think I'm going to have to get both. It never ends!!
How about a Baretta 96A1?
9mmepiphany said:Be sure to shoot one before your buy, I never warmed up t the Elite series. While i generally like a beavertail, the one on the Elites are a bit wide and deep for my taste, I'm not a big fan of front serrations and the SRT isn't for everyone...unless you're willing to spend the time to really take advantage of it

9mmepiphany said:The depth and wideness that I am talking about has to do only with the beavertail. While the Ed Brown grip safety allows a very high grip on the gun, the Sig beavertail is so deep (top to bottom) that it keeps your hand from getting too high. The width is much just a tad uncomfortable because of how it extends back into your thumb joint. There is plenty of material in the beavertail to trim/slim it...I've seem some really nice ones

I finally bought a 1911 in 2009 and another in 2010. I thought I was done with P220s but now those stainless models are calling to me. I should add that I'm far from being done with 1911s. I plan on adding many more to my collection.
Mark-Smith said:However, when the title of a thread indicates it isn't a puzzle where a Glock or 1911 shaped piece will solve it, perhaps other guns should be considered?
If you don't want a Glock or 1911, I would lean towards the Beretta 92fs. I would shy away from the Sigs. In my opinion (for what it's worth) they are over-rated.
