Another vote for a 1911.
It is without a doubt an iconic handgun that you need to experience.
Think of all those soldiers, sailors and marines that used the 1911 to good effect in the service of their country for over seventy years. Think of all effort John Moses Browning put in to developing the gun. Think of all the smart alecks that keep recommending them that you'll be able to shut up.
A full size 5" barrel version will not beat you up. It's got a goodly recoil but it is not excessive.
That deal by Krimmie in a previous post is certainly VERY attractive even without the rebate. With the rebate I almost wish I was in the market for another 1911.
Good luck.
