I still have 4 days left on my current waiting period before I can pick up my XD9, then 25 more days until I'm eligible for another purchase (I LOVE Maryland), but I'm already thinking about my next gun. I want to go with a .45, which would be my first. With my budget constraints, it would have to be in the ~$500 range, so I'm looking at a Springfield GI 1911, XD45, Ruger P90, or a Taurus 24/7.
