I think one of the STI models would suit you depending on your budget. Mine is in 38 Super and it is wonderful to compete with. Some of the other guys use Taurus also and have had no issues with them. My STI is a race gun but I am going to down grade it to a more basic model (Trojan maybe?) and go back to open sights as I feel this is where a hand gun has it's major "practical" use.
