Suggestions in the $600 - $800 range.

Yeah, my buddy in Georgia wanted a 226 straight, but all anyone had in stock at that time was the rail model.

I think it's ugly but he got used to it.

I have never understood why someone would want the SA only version of the CZ75. The trigger is one of the best I have ever felt on the DA/SA versions after a 500 round break in, which a serious shooter will go through in one or two range trips.

The CZ75 is probably the most accurate handgun I have ever fired and is also one of the most comfortable.

Because I dont see the point of having a DA trigger. And the SA only has a shorter reset and nicer SA trigger.

I'm looking to go SAO on my SP01.

OP,

I'd get a CZ SP01, or CZ 75b SA

SR1911 if you do not already have one, or a Springfield GI model or several others in that range from them.

Or wait for the XDS45 if you want a nice carry 45

Walther P5. You'll love it, small, accurate, dependable.

Well yesterday I picked a used Sig SP2022 in 9mm for 400 bucks, but you can get them NIB for 350 OTD on Gunbroker. I haven't shot it yet but it looks and feels real handy. Has some nice features. I like the sights too.

Or you could get a nice 1911.

What happened in '04? I've done a ton of reading up on the SIG P-series in the last year, and I've never seen a single other reference to "pre-'04" SIGs.

Ron Cohen resigned from Kimber and went over to Exeter, New Hampshire to Manage (then) SIG Arms. That was when everything changed...

Would depend on what I'm supposed to be doing with it, but at this moment in time, I'd probably buy a used S&W M64 revolver for about $300 (because I love K frame S&W revolvers, and I don't have a stainless one), and look for a S&W 3913 with the rest (just because I've always wanted one).

Haven't heard of any negative changes to SIGs, unless we're talking about rails, which I have no problem with.

Beginning to get off topic at this point, but my experiences were hashed out in this thread from arf.com a few years back. If you've been researching this topic and haven't come across anything negative, I'm frankly a bit surprised.
