Bad thing about Ruger's are that they tend to be really bulky and annoying to carry after awhile.......It has nice safety features though. My first choice would either be a Sig or H&K......alittle over that target price of course. Taurus 24/7 pros wouldnt be too bad to go with. Or the S&W M&P's are really nice......I'd be cautious with the sigma series I had alot of people trade them in cause they didnt like how it shot.
