Any 1911 or the Springfield XD 45, My dad just picked up the XD45 for 529.99, and my fiancee just bought a Sig GSR revolution XO 1911 for 739.99. i would keep the glock at home and look for something better like one of these 2 pistols or even the M&P or even a P220, P226 or the P229.
Mine is a SIG 226 in 9mm pair it with hornady tap ammo and its a great pair. It is a little bulky for ccw but great at the range and works with a cross holster but I would not recommend for inside the waist line carry
For that money you could probably get a CZ75 and a Cadet conversion. You'd have another 9mm AND another .22. The CZ looks like a "full size gun small enough for carry". The platforms match up nicely with what you already have.
I think a 1911 is a good choice, too. You cover a lot of bases with the Glock and .22 you already have. Your Glock gives you a nice center-fire good for range and defense purposes, concealable when you are ready for that. And any .22 is a fun plinker. A lot of people stay away from the 1911 because they think it's some kind of "expert's gun". Beleive me, I wanted one for years and stayed away from them for that reason. I'm glad I finally took the plunge and regret not doing it sooner. If you consider that route, I'd suggest a full size to start. Not really a great carry gun as far as I'm concerned, but really great for just about everything else.
I'd grab a Glock 34/35 (range/bedside duty) or 26/27 (for carry) and kit it out or just kit out the 19 you have.
Stuff like:
-extra mags (always a good thing for trips to the range)
-good quality leather holster for a carry gun (makes carrying pleasurable rather than painful and conspicuous)
-Truglo TFO sights (really great sights for day or low light)
-.22LR conversion (lots of practice on your main weapon platform without getting a second mortgage)
-weapon mounted light (for bedside duty)
-Lasermax laser (for dryfiree practice and breaking in new shooters)
My thinking: the Glock does everything I need of a pistol. The same could likely be said for the XD or M&P. I've shifted in the last few years away from spending on new guns and towards spending on things that either make them better for their intended purpose or on ammo or conversion units that will allow me to shoot what I have more (and hopefully better).
You've got to have a 1911, and you need a 45acp! I have shot all kinds of 45's; H&K, sig, S&W, Beretta, springfield, etc and always return to my S&W 1911pd! Now I have a Kimber Ultra Carry II Custom for ccw and it is a hot shooter!
Shooting a 45 versus a 9mm is, at first, a big WOW in difference. But soon you get used to the 45 and will love it.
