First Handgun
I am looking for advice on what type of hand gun to buy.
I will use it for target and general hobby "fun"
I am an experienced rifle handler but at this time do not have any
reloading equipment. I hope to not have to spend a large amount of
funds to get started, and would like to make an educated decision
before I purchase a gun. Any thoughts would be appreciated. [}:)]

Check out the Taurus line of .45's. There website shows a 1911 style with all the bells and whistles for about $695 suggested retail.

Moose,
Like I stated earlier, You can get the RIA Tactical. It has all the same stuff as the Tarus 1911 and are every bit as reliable. Full lifetime warentee and (as I chat with the national rep and the president of Armsor quite often) outstanding customer service. These can be gotten NIB for about $450.

CZ97 is a terrific gun. But when I wanted to buy one, the guy in the gunshop asked if i had big enough hands for them. Sure enough, the grip was just too big for me to be able to shoot comfortably. Again, I think CZ's are pretty much the top of their price range in quality, but if you don't have big hands, the 97 may not be the gun for you. 0 -
get it in 9mm or .22 so you can afford to shoot it 0 -
Check around for a good COLT sistama, You get Colt quality but for a lot less money.. around 400 will get a good one at most pawn shops.. 0 -
The guys that are suggeting a .22 are correct.
Buy it and shoot 1,000 rounds a week for about $10.
You WILL becme good with a pistol.
By the way, 1,000 rounds of .45 ACP costs not less than $100.

If you really can't resist theurge to purchase a .45, PLEASE do not waste any money on a Hi Point. Taurus or Springfield would be my choices in inexpensive .45's,but not my choice for 1st handgun. If an auto is desired it is hard to beat a Mark 3 Ruger. My first handgun was a model 19 smith in .357 and I still have it. You can shoot .38's for practice and move up later. 0 -
...as others have stated...first hand gun, Id go for a .22... several good ones out there at reasonable prices.
Get to know it, and become proficient with it, then buy a real 1911, as in Colt...[:D]
OR, buy a .357...and shoot 38's until you are comfortable, then drop in some .357's...[;)]
...a couple, well three...0 -
Try this Sig. I got one and love it.
