going shopping. make up my mind for me!

[95wrangler]

Ok heres what Im looking for. Mainly a range gun, occasional carry, 40s&w or 45 acp, full size, hammer fired preferably, stainless, around $500. Ive narrowed it down to:
RIA 1911
ATI 1911
FNP 40 or 45
CZ 75b
There are others Im sure Ive forgotten through my searches. I do like some of the S&W 4006 types that are hammerless but I have 2 hammerless (glock 19 and S&W M&P 40c) I think I want something a little more....sophisticated. Anyone else have any suggestions?

You need to make up your own mind or you will not like the gun in the end.

If you go 1911. save up and dig a little deeper, get a colt, or springfeild entry level gun and build. I would look for an fnx if going .40 (better rail/controls) the fnp=45 is on my radar, but either as a tactical or competiton.

on your list the cz- then post lots of pics ;-)

Don't tell him that!!! We can always use another 1911 in the classifieds

Technically I have a 1911 but it is not a shooter. It was built in 1918. I will make up my own mind, gotta see how they feel first! just was looking to see if I missed anything. Just thought of a sig 226 or 229. Used of course as new are out of my price range. If I come across a better 1911 in my $ range I would pick it up.

The S&W 4006 is not "hammer-less".

I like the FNP better. I could care less if it has a rail or not and Im not sure if I like the ambi controls as the safety rubs on my trigger finger knuckle just holding it. Im seriously considering the cz because the baby eagle and the eaa witness are modeled after it and I like both of those. Just never had one in my hand.

Well I know but....I said I like it! Just keeping my mind open.

Got a 19. Have thought about another. Too many toys, not enought money. I want 1 or 2 of everything!

its just the fnp's decocker is often in a place that causes people to accidently decock the pistol. in the .45 I want one set up to take a rds.
