(Ruger sp101...I know it's not a 9mm or semi-auto..but before the fire I had a slew of semis, large and small, yet this was the one I always carried.)
As noted above, for my second purchase I do plan on getting a revolver to use as my primary carry gun. First I want to get a semi auto to use at the range to get my shooting chops back. You don't have reload a semi so often so I think it would be easier and more convenient to practice with initially.
