I haven't done a lot of handgun shooting. I own a Browning Buckmark, owned a Walther P22 before that, and have shot a Ruger Mk III a few times, but my centerfire experience is limited to a few shots from Springfield XD in .40s&w and a .44 magnum Ruger blackhawk.
I've considered buying a centerfire handgun, but I've probably been spoiled by accuracy and easy shooting of .22s.
So getting to my question, what are some centerfire handguns that tend to be easier to shoot well? By that, I mean which ones have good triggers, good sights (adjustable), and manageable recoil? I realize their are other factors to consider, but I'd like to start with ideas of what I might be able to shoot well and go from there.
I'm thinking of something in 9mm or .357/.38sp (I probably wouldn't shoot many .357 cartridges) with a barrel about 4". Aside from recreation, the gun could be used for HD and possibly as a trail/camp gun. It would NOT be a CCW. Also, I'm thinking guns around $600 or less.
