For a low-end and a high-end solution, I recommend either the Glock 22 or the SIG P229. I have both and the performance of both is flawless. The ability of the G22 to accept the Insight M3 light is a big plus, although a lot of others (HK, SW, Springfield XD) have included this feature, too. SIG mags are hard to come by, and the G22 is only a little better, but you CAN find them, if you look.
The Baby Eagle is the latest incarnation of the Jericho 941 made available around 1990. It's based on the CZ75 design. Fired one about a month ago, and it's a heavy little sucker, but accurate. I'm not sure about mag availability or interchangeability with other models, though.
