Id suggest a nice CZ 40-P . Its just over your 250.00 limit, but its a fine pistol for the money.
I first bought a CZ 75 P-01, and fell in love. then i had to have the 40-P.
The 40-P uses the P-01 alloy frame, slightly modified, and matched to a 40-B slide.
These were made in limited numbers. Rumor control has reported that CZ had 40-B slides and barrels left over, and made the decision to add them to existing P-01 frames.
There were only (approx) 1500 units made, maybe be collectible some day, maybe not.
Its made with excellent CZ quality, accurate as hell out of the box, and you can use your 10 round .40 40-p mags as hi-caps in your P-01 9mm gun. I get 14 9mm rounds in my .40 mags.
Great value, great gun, I wish i had money to buy a few more before they are all gone.
Ive seen em from 275.00 plus shipping, and just saw a guy on the CZ board offering em for 315.00 shipped CONUS.
