Personally, I think $1000 is too much for a Handgun, but if I went that route, BHP without a doubt.

In fact, I'd probably go with Cylinder and Slide Trigger Tuning, Novak Lo Mount Night Sights, Checkering on the Front and Back Straps, Black Chrome Finish and Gunner's Grips in some contrasting tone.

1911.

There's nothing wrong with the BHP in general, but the hammer bites the hell out of my big fat hand. The 1911 fits more hands than the BHP.

1911, no doubt.

Colt 1991, holster, mags, ammo, done.

wEll with the way things are made in this day and age you'l be lucky to find anything that can't be improved upon.
Even if it' GTG out of the box you'll find something that needs to be added for it to fill your needs.

I'm not really raging on you just adding my 2 cents worth.
With that said maybe you are the kind of guy that's happy with a out of the box gun.

If so, so much the better for you.

PS. I also owned a 92FS. Great handgun that needed no smitrhing and never gave me a malfunction. But I never felt that I could hit what I was trying to hit with my 92. I know this sounds funny but I even shot a 100% score with it while getting my CCW. yet I still never felt as if I could hit what I'm shooting at.
