[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1056069, member: 7123"] Boy I agree with that 100% - which leads me to a conclusion 180 degrees from this gentleman with the opposite opinion - buy ANYTHING but a Glock. Or get one and then trade it off later when you learn that it has horrible ergos, is cheaply made, and is a very poor value - at least the 2nd course of action keeps your life more interesting as you go along and gives you something to upgrade to! If you could up the budget a bit, I'd look at a CZ 75 compact PCR, Beretta PX4 compact, or S&W MP compact. But I like your choices on more of a budget - I'd go with #2 or #3. #3 is best for comfort and enjoyability in shooting, and aesthetics & pride of ownership as well. However, you'd have to ask yourself (a) is it gonna be too heavy to carry comfortably - maybe maybe not; depends on your personal feel, and (b) are you gonna train to disengage that manual 2nd nature when the moment of truth arrives? Wait a sec, if you can afford a Taurus 1911, then you can afford a CZ PCR, so I'd seriously consider expanding your short list and doing more research into some awfully good contenders. But granted, the 1911 will last several lifetimes and be a joy to own. I think everyone oughtta have at least one 1911. With the Bersa, you do get a lot more gun than you pay for - nice pistols. I found mine to be accurate & feature filled. Only knock for me is that the grip was too large for my hands. You'd probably be satisfied with the Ruger however, too. Oops, nevermind. :D [/QUOTE]
