Another gun recommendation! I'll look into that one too. I have time to shoot all of them before I have the cash together.Gosh, just get yourself a Ruger P89 and be done with it!

Those aren’t bad guns but boy are they as chunky as a USP but far uglierGosh, just get yourself a Ruger P89 and be done with it!
P89? Talk about a gun that fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Smith & Wesson Gen 3 (or 2 or 1) far better choice than p89 and lots of mags out there for low costHe was looking for reliable, accurate, and within a budget. Bonus is it takes older, 15+ round magazines.

92 all day long. I install D spring, steel trigger and G conversion kit. nothing better out there. any variant you like. LTT, M9A1, whatever. they're all more similar than different. the biggest difference is holster compatibility. a good example is the 92A1 which is probably my favorite variant except it doesn't share holsters with the other 92's. if the budget allows go for a wilson combat 92G or the LTT elite 92G. i just picked up a 92X centurion and am digging it although the OEM grip panels are too aggressive for AIWB with my gut, so I've gone back to the 92G.
sig P series are wonderful pistols so long as you never shoot them alongside a beretta 92 or CZ 75. I find the P220 to be the least awkward of the sigs probably due to the more forward grip angle of the P220. the CZ 75 full size are great but until CZ builds an alloy frame, something like a P-01 in full size, I find them annoyingly heavy for carry. for some reason I have no issue carrying a 32 oz pistol but once it hits around 38+ oz I start to notice it. the USP/P2000/P30 and PX4 are also winners for me but they haven't done anything better than my 92.
@drgrant
the omega trigger system is considerably simpler design than the original 75. I own both an SP-01 tactical (ie decocker) and a 75 omega in BD (decocker) configuration so have been able to do some comparisons. the omega's DA is nowhere near as smooth although with more rounds it is improving. overall I prefer the older trigger system's feel. while i've never used CGW upgrade parts my understanding is the omega is much less supported by them. further the shape of the triggers are distinct, with the omega being more straight and older style being very hooked which is also my preference.
Pretty sweetI'm not a CZ expert by any means but this is one of my favorite guns to shoot. It just fits my hand so well and it was way way way under your budget, like half. Since you're considering polymer i think it's checks your boxes.View attachment 309421 View attachment 309422

While I didn't have "too much of an issue" gunsmithing on my MK4 (trigger and all that Tandemkross stuff) I feel as though messing too much with the internals on this firearm might get me in some trouble.if round count is high would probably replace the trigger return spring and firing pin spring. with dry fire the firing pin retaining pin gets bent. if you're driving it out would examine closely and if warped replace it. I am not a CZ expert and am much more confortable with beretta 92 platform but it seems the CZ pro's do have to stay on top of these pistols.
