RE: New Pistol
Another vote for the Springfield XD. I have the tactical model in 40, an it is a very very sweet shooter. They make a compact model, and a service model that should both fit your needs well. The tactical is a pain to conceal.

RE: New Pistol
I hafta give a huge vote for Springfield Armory XD pistols. I have the service model XD-40, awesome shooter, great fit, if you are unfamiliar with the safety features of them/Glock, they are even better should you be in a quickdraw situation. The service model isnt too bad to conceal with a shoulder holster. I am going to purchase a compact model in the near future though. I will be sticking with my 40 cal on it too. If anything aside from the Glock/XD I would look into a wheelgun for reliability though, but I have no doubts with my XD.

RE: New Pistol
Thanks for the imput, I would really like to have a 1911 but don't think I'll be able to afford a lightweight smaller framed model, so that's why that's out. And as far as the small framed pistols, I'm kinda looking at some "medium" (for lack of a better word) size because of comfort to shoot. The glock model I was looking at was the compact, not the subcompact. My cousin has the sub and it's just pretty small to take out and shoot for the day. I was also looking at around a 3.75-4 in. barrel as opposed to a really small one. I want a gun that's small enough that I can carry comfortably, but being that I am in law school right now and that's where I spend most of my time it'll probably be more of a home defense unless I'm traveling. FYI I have very small hands, and finding pistols is about the only thing they've helped me on, cause I have been able to shoot smaller pistols more comfortably then some of my family members.
If you're looking for a 1911, the SA Mil-Specs are excellent pistols at very good prices. It's pretty no-frills, and close to the original, but it's also a lot of fun to shoot. Doesn't get much cheaper unless you buy lower quality foreign copies.
