A P229 is fine by itself.

Do you want a full size pistol or a compact version?

How much do you want to spend?

Walther. Best gun you'll ever own. Quick Mag release, decocker, double action, you can get it in a compact version if you want, 10 round mag. Literally the best gun you could own in a 40SW. USP...id stick with something other than that just for the fact that bang for the buck is not there, like buying a Harley Davidson, performance is not there and you're paying for the name.

But at the end of the day, get whatever you feel comfortable holding/shooting.



PS
i have a p229. GREAT CHOICE.

+2 on the Glock 23, it was my first handgun and still among my favorite and the only one I know will fire every time no matter what

Just keep in mind glock dont have the normal 1911 safte or any real external safety for that matter, so if your untrained and dont naturally keep your finger off the trigger, I would get something else. They are completely safe, just if you touch the trigger it will go off.

Want a compact.

The HK USP tactical model only makes sense if you use an illegal silencer.

The XD is made by http://www.springfield-armory.com/

You need to look at Para Ordinance hawg9 if you want a very comfortable compact gun. They make it in a a 45 cal. but I don't like 3" barreled 45's. My 9mm shoots flawless and very compact. They now offer a Micro9 also. Only downfall they are all $800.00 range.

forgot about that one, its very nice

Also I too dont like 3" barrels in .45, but for it for CC then the 3" make its a lot more comfortable to carry.

you can make up loss of speed from the 3" barrel by getting the light grain ammo I always use speer gold dots, the tend to be a hotter round and they mushroom better then most other ammo, all that will make up for the loss of speed
