Hello all,

I went to a local gun shop (Target Sports in Royal Oak, MI) and tried the Glock (way to fat for my hand) and then tried the H&K P2000 V3 in 9mm at the range that Ken suggested. It felt very good. Not sure it's THE one, but I did fare well in my own opinion. The salesman showed me some of my initial mistakes regarding my hold and 2nd hand placement. Just that alone improved my accuracy dramatically. I like the 9mm so far for cheap ammo for lots of target practice & can get semi serious loads for defense. I also handled a Walther inline 9mm that felt good as well. I hope to go back and spend more time and try your suggestions as well. Thanks for your input, any other ideas? I'm making a list to try and hold all of the ones you suggested. I'm a very safe person with attention to detail so the DA/SA with de-cocking and exposed hammer are appealing to me.

Thanks again,

Greg
