I want anther .223 and maybe another 9mm

Have a few AR's. They're OK. Just never really went nuts over them like seems to be the norm. When I was working at a couple of different LGS's, got really tired of the expectation that I was to 'speak fluent AR'.
It got to be a little too much for me, talking to people who want to spend an hour waxing eloquent over 'piston vs. direct impingement', 'co-witness sight system', MagPul vs. Noveske accessories, Beta mags, etc.

Know what my favorite .223 is? a 1969 Remington Model 788. Shoots great. Is simple wood (birch probably) and blue steel.

On my second Browning HP, an early 80's model with an aftermarket Millet adjustable rear sight,
I was lucky, removal of the mag safety resulted in a very nice trigger.
It is quite a bit more accurate that my Colt Combat Commander 9mm.

Have fun deciding. It's supposed to be fun.

I actually just sold my M&P 15 Sport. It's a really nice carbine, accurate and 100% reliable. But I'm always taking my AR15A1 out instead. I just prefer the 20" barrel and a full buttstock. I think the best configuration may be the Canadian C7: an A1 upper with a shell deflector, 20" HBAR, and round hand guards.

While I like the mystique and lines of the HiPower, I'd go for the CZ or a Sig P226. Much better triggers.
 
I had a BHP and really liked it, but I never really trusted the safety on it. My favorite 9mm is a West German P226 I picked up for a real good price a while back. Accurate gun, the only issue with it to s that it is a full size device pistol and a little challenging to properly conceal. Kinda like having 20 round mags though!

As far as the .223, if you don't already have an AR, I'd go that route. I really like my M&P 15 but it's hard to go wrong in the AR arena.
