I am looking at getting another pistol.
I currently have a 1911 in .45 and a 1911 clone compact in .380 both serve their purpose but I feel the need for more round capacity. So I am contemplating a 9mm so far the only one that I have found that I like at all is the Beretta 92fs What says the hive? |

92fs is good once you get used to its 'oddities' which are just different (safety on decocks, etc.) I got rid of mine simply to help consolidate on caliber, it was a great gun.
That said, there are 9mm and doublestack (and doublestack 9mm!) 1911 pattern pistols out there, I believe Para makes some and I thought Kimber does or did as well. |

The 92FS is a good pistol, but it is awfully big for what it is.
There are a lot of more size-efficient 9mms available today. I guess we need to know the mission role. Concealed carry? Home defense? Collection piece/no defined mission? If you have big hands like I do, though, you will enjoy the 92FS. |

I got to shoot the son in laws and by the second mag I had better accuracy than I do with my full size 1911. |
| My first handgun was a 92fs. I loved that old work horse. I later picked up a 96 INOX because I thought 40 is bigger than 9 thus 40>9. Boy was I wrong. I kept that 96 for several years before dumping it in a trade for a sig. I wish I still had that old 92. I don't even remember if I sold it or traded it, or what the hell happened to it. |

Two letters. C Z (ETA - The full-size SP01 series has 19 round factory mags, so that should fufill your desire for more capacity.) Judging by your avatar, I'm surprised the two letters you gave him weren't "H K"  .
The alternative I was going to suggest was three letters: "S I G." |

The only HK handgun I like is the P7. It also fits in the pic, since it's normally Sousuke's carry piece there (which is actually a G26, but I can't stand for that...) and my carry piece is a P7. 
My USPSA Limited racegun is a CZ (75 Tactical Sports in .40), I will be sending off a standard 75B to ADCO here soon to get threaded for my Trident, and will be buying a SP01 Shadow Custom within the next 6 months.
