I don't have a pic to post at this time but, I really like my S&W 640 Pro......just a versatile house, carry, hiking, traveling kind of gun...yeah, its only 5 rounds (there are speed loaders) but it can be down-loaded to standard 38's or uploaded to 357's   8)

The best shooter in my arsenal is a Springfield XDM 40 full size.   I put a Pachmayer grip on it that makes it a pleasure to drive tacks with.   I also have a Sig Sauer P226 USPSA 9mm model that gives similar gratifying range time.    Neither guns are great concealed carry option as have considerable weight and size, but they will stay in my gun rack.

I've bought from a lot of manufacturers and loved all of them (except the Glock G41). That's why I can still bring an assortment of CZs, Rugers, SIGs, Mausers, Walthers, HiPowers, 1911s,  a Savage 1907, a Hi Standard G380 and a whole bunch of CommBloc pistols and enjoy every one of them.

That isn't even counting the revolvers.

Canik and Tanfoglio both best pistol values you can find. The Turks and Italians make great firearms. Czechs and Germans, too.

I like my Beretta 92, all the torture tests indicate it to be very very reliable in adverse conditions which it better be for how heavy it is

Always liked a good commander-sized 1911 and that new Beretta APX is pretty sweet as well ;-)

Commander style 1911 in 45ACP...we're getting warmer now. OK, so what do I really, really want for my next handgun.....Yeah, a 97B or BD is really nice...but an FN FNX Tactical. 15 Rounds of pure 45ACP Joy. Surprisingly comfortable grip especially considering the capacity; with adjustable backstrap. Not overly fat like some double-stack 45's. Tall night sights ready to co-witness a quality optic that's set into the pre-milled slide. Decocker for DA that can also flip up for safety and function SAO Cock & Lock like a 1911. Really accurate and well thought out handgun IMHO. John Moses Browning would have been proud!

If not CZs, I seem to favor Walthers for some reason.  Maybe it's the ergos?

I am fond of 1911s as well but am holding out for a DW Valor. 

I'd love to add an FNP/FNX 45 to my list due to practicality of high capacity but worry about the grip size.  If it is anything like an H&K USP's grip size, I should just end this curiosity immediately!

Slikshoes,
If you want a high capacity 45, You owe it to yourself to at least consider a FNH - FNX 45 Tactical.
You gotta find a LGS that has one and put in your hands. I have medium sized hands and I was pleasantly surprised at how the grip did NOT feel fat or oversized and 15 rounds of 45 ACP trumps anything else out there. Controls are so easy to get to and fully ambi for Southpaws and weak-hand tactical. Did not feel as fat as a Sig 227 or HK 45. A Beretta 92 feels like holding a potato compared. This gun is so well thought out. Yes, it's expensive, but by the time I milled another gun like a CZ 97 for optics, added correct co-witness night sights, (3)extended mags, flared magwell, etc. I'd spend more and have less. Reviews seem very favorable except you may need to run full power ammo during break-in. The tolerances are tight, but the trade-off is great accuracy and a very capable firearm.

You might not agree, but you should at least give it a good look-see.

Hey, I love my 9mm CZ's and I know my lust for this gun is showing, but I just gotta have one.   O0

M1A4ME, after days flew by, I saw a Ruger Mark I rimfire mentioned.  I have a Mark I and II but the Mark I was modified.  Both have red dots but the Mark I was used in two years of Sportsman's Team Challenge.  The Mark I barrel is fat and heavy that was cut off of a blank used on my Ruger 10/22 and had a good chamber cut.  People like my stainless Mark II but I would not trade my Mark I for two other Mark's.
I like original Dan Wesson 44's.  I like S&W revolvers for reasons but none are stock.

I love CZ and Beretta, the full size CZ 75 and Betetta M9 are my favorites. For striker fired polymer frame, I have a Walther PPQ.
