Re: Weapon recommendations in my price range

A 9mm or .40 under $400 makes Ruger jump out. Look for the P95 and SR9 in 9mm and the P91 in .40. They're rugged, reliable, and inexpensive. Hurry though; the P95 and P91 are older designs and Ruger's dropping them from the catalog in favor of the newer SR series, with substantiated rumors that the line will very soon include all three major defense calibers.

Smith & Wesson's M&P series are also very good, but a bit more expensive (between $450-$550 depending on model). My next gun will likely be the M&P 45.

I would stay away from Sigmas, Bersas and Tauri; they've got an attractive price and they'll work, but the failures I see at the range tend to be one of two categories; brand-new high-end autos (Kimber/Springfield 1911s, USPs, Walthers) that haven't loosened up yet, and guns under $300.
