I bet. I've decided that it's going to be my reward for graduating college, and that I'm going to spend most of my time right now looking at potential firearms and renting what I can.

HK Mark 23 SOCOM? Bit expensive for me.

What I'm leaning towards right now is a full-size double-stack Para-Ordnance 1911 with Hogue wraparounds. I'm not sure whether the LDA or single action is better for me, but I'm almost inclined to think that as a novice shooter I should consider the double action for safety reasons.

Then again, that's a good $700 to put down for a new pistol. A lot of people have suggested purchasing a Ruger Mark II or Browning BM .22 as a first pistol; in your experience would these frames be large enough?

Thanks again for your help.
