I suggest a Steyr M(full size) or S(compact) series in .40. I bought my S40 NIB with four magazines and shipping for $365.00. Best 365 I ever spent, it shoots circles around my issued Beretta, and my buddy's Glock 27, which incidentally cost 100 bucks more with PLASTIC sights.
The Steyr has a safety and an internal lock, if that's important to you, a trigger mechanism similar to the Glock, outstanding sights and ergonomics, a low bore axis, a durable tenifer fininsh, steel magazines that allow a thinner grip profile.
Mine has proven accurate and dead reliable.
On the negative side, prices are going up on these, and if you decide to buy one, spring for extra magazines right away, as they are getting harder to come by.
I got mine through CDNNinvesments.com. I went to their website and downloaded a catalog. There is a telephone number on the website as well.
Good luck.
