I am scared of empty guns and keep mine loaded at all times. The family knows the guns are loaded and treats them with respect. Loaded guns cause few accidents; empty guns kill people every year. -Elmer Keith. 1961
There's no way for me to answer with only one selection on your list. The first assumption is that I have only ONE next gun. As far as SA handguns go, I have at least 3 on my list vying for "next", all for different reasons. Most of them are there for several of your listed reasons. Here is my handgun wish list:
1) Some type of 1911. I've narrowed it down to a few different models.... Springfield Loaded Full-sized Parkerized, STI Lawman (black), or a black Kimber Custom II.
2) CZ-52
3) CZ-82
4) CZ-75B
As for why, here is a brief explanation for each:
1) the 1911 has great ergonomics and has a nice flat design. It is similar in operation to my Hi-Power, which I like. It is in a heftier caliber, and it is fun to shoot. It is a combination of reasons 2,3,4,6 & 8 on the poll.
2) I've heard good things about this gun and the 7,62x25 round. They push velocities far beyond what most handgun rounds will ever do. The slide/frame roller mechanism is also intriguing to me. I probably wouldn't carry it, but it sounds like a lot of fun to shoot. They're also cheap. It is a combination of reasons 1,2, & 8.
3) I mostly want one of these because I'd like have a heavier gun to shoot Makarov out of. It can share ammo with my FEG PA-63. They're also relatively cheap. Reasons 1 & 2.
4) I've heard lots of good things about this pistol. It is supposed to be reliable and durable. It is similar in size, operation, and capacity to my daily carry (a Hi-Power), so it would certainly work as a stand-in carry gun while the Hi-Power goes to the gunsmith or some similar situation. It also is in the same caliber. Reasons 2, 6, and 8.
Couldn't answer in the poll. My criteria for my next firearm purchase is capacity. I want a rifle/carbine that accepts 30-round mags. Either an AK-clone or an AR. And I want it before the Presidential election.
After that, I'll be gunning for a 1911. (Pun definitely intended!)
Remember, in a life-or-death situation, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
I don't have very much trouble finding a pistol that "fits my hand" - I'm pretty versatile in that regard... but trigger has turned me off to many a pistol I wish I could have convinced myself to buy. The only gun I've ever sold was my USPc .45 SS (which I adored) - I just couldn't learn to love that god-aweful $800 DA pull.
