Never mind my ridiculous face - my photographer didnt know how to use a camera to save their life, and the sun was right in my eyes

It looks to me like you blew Billy Mays' face off as he was attempting to demo his Mighty Putty to a terrified woman. Either that, or the woman is screaming: "Don't shoot, I'm about to get some Mighty Putty! I haven't had Mighty Putty in years!!!"

What do you guys suggest for a nice reliable 9mm/.40/.45 handgun for weekend target shooting? I'm willing to spend a little more money for quality so Walmart brands are scratched off the list.

Springfield XD45
I've got the long barrel, but you can get them in shorter. No problems with it so far, and it carries Springfields excellent lifetime warranty.

About to go get a S&W 442 or something similar for pocket carry.

I am shooting the Newer H&K Tactical USP .45ACP (the one put up to replace the US military sidearm last year) it will set you back about a $1000.00 but it is freaking nuts perfect! On a slightly lower budget the Sig Sauer P220 .45acp is amazing as well. That will set you back about $700-800...

go to a gun show!!! Hold the guns find what fits for you then do research on the ones you liked from the show...

Good Luck!
