     Recommend you get your advice from a place like Weisser's in National
City, then go out and get quotes from the small independent dealers in
town - you're liable to save up to 30%.

     If home defense is not an issue, sounds like you ought to stick with
.22's - after all it's good enough for Olympic shooters.

     I own a Colt .45 myself, but if I were buying a new gun in 9mm right
now I'd go with the Glock - haven't fired it, but the reviews are great
and I'm not too proud to own a gun with "plastic" (synthetic composite
materials) parts.

     Just random thoughts.  Good shooting.
