S&W 9SV (Sigma); they are on sale now for around $299 with a $50 dollar rebate or two mags. Ergonomically, the most comfortable auto pistol on the market. Function (I have a .40),
the only FTF or FTE I’ve had was with using Monarch ammo...I don’t use that anymore. Excellent bang (no pun intended) for the buck. It is a “striker “fired (essentially a double action auto)pistol; if you’d rather a DA/SA pistol, check out the FNH or CZ75...excellent choices. Buy more ammo.

Cabela's, at least the Buda TX, location, has the Steyr MA-1 in 9mm and 40 S&S on sale for $369.99 right now. I think you can do better though.

I just checked and all the Bushmaster carbines on Gallery of Guns show as "out of stock", and that's a lot of dealers to not have any. Although that may mean they don't have any to sell through that website, but do have some in their stores. Have to check the one in town I've been meaning to check anyway. (But it burnt down some time ago, and has only recently reopened for gun sales)
