I have always liked the CZ 75 platform. There are good clones out there. IMI/IWI Jericho are a good example. (steel frame) I just bought a new in the box un-issued military example in .40 S&W. It has not been to the range yet. My son has a mid size in .45.
I have always liked the looks & reputation of a High Power. They feel terrible in my hand.
I do like a 9mm, 1911. Bob
