Heavy trigger'd, 34 ounce (loaded) 9 mm's aren't exactly what the shooting crowd has been begging for, but low entry price, and the ability to configure the weapon to individual tastes would go a long way to making it a keeper. Thats if all of the other ducks remain in a row such as reliability, accuracy, etc., because despite the move from 9 to .40, .357 and even 10 mm, the most favored bottom feeder for plinking will most likely remain the Luger-loaders.

I'd have to go along with that. I learned to shoot the 1911 forty five years ago, and so that's what I tend to prefer in an auto. Most of my handguns are revolvers, though. “What I’m saying is that when I’m looking for an auto, I’m looking for pure functionality.”

What I'm saying is that when I'm looking for an auto, I'm looking for pure functionality. The ugliest gun in the world is pretty if it does what I need it to. When I buy a wheelgun, I am looking for function ,<b>or</b> form. Form doesn't enter the equation for autopistols.

I'll go equally ga-ga over a nice old revolver and a nice old automatic. I've got four guns that rotate as my carry firearms. Two J-frames, one Kel-Tec, and an SW99 (same as the Walther P99). Eventually a 1911 in Commander or Defender size will be joining the fray; potentially something akin to a Mustang or .380 Govt. as well. Don't knock the old autos for aesthetic value; nor discount revolvers as "working" firearms. My 360 PD has been carried under some pretty severe conditions and is holding up just fine; my Colt Gold Cup is a blast to shoot for fun. And I would not feel undergunned with a SW1911 or a 2.5" Model 19 as my carry weapon... Can't we all just get a long gun? :) I’m an equal opportunity gun nut.
