    Find a local range that has a good selection of rental units and try a bunch of them. We can offer suggestions about what we like all day long, but the weapon needs to be a good fit for you.

    I'm going to have to say XDM 40 I love mine great shooting hand gun. Sig and H&K are also good choices. Kimbers aren't the best 1911 out there I have shot a Sig 1911 and I like it better.

    I prefer Glocks but I see you don't. Kimbers are excellent but too pricey. With that being said, I would go with the XD.

    I shot both and they are so awesome. I think the one hand gun, rifle, or smg I have shot that I really wanted to take home was a Full automatic Mp5SD.

    Go to the sporting goods store and pick up and hold everything in your price range. Buy what feels best. Im assuming you are just gonna shoot it every once in a while so you wont need to worry about size too much. I think Glock 19 is pretty much the best gun you can get as far as reliability and even concealment. Just make sure you put decent ammo through it and you will have a great self defense/ carry/ target shooter.
