here's some pistols to look into
www.leesgunshop.com... Colt 1911b
www.wa-gunnet.co.jp... Beretta m92fs (it will hold more and most likely be easier on the recoil. The 1911 is
pretty big compared to the Beretta and only holds 7 if you don't modify it.)
Glock [cheap!] (any number)
www.randymays.com... (The glock is fast, agile, accurate, and usually plastic. They fire underwater
and through sand. The police have relied on this gun for years.) The gun is extremely modifiable to the point of being downright ridiculous.

basically the Glock is your best bet price wise and there isn't really a limit to how much it can be modified (you can even make it fully automatic)
. It comes in .38 .45 and .50 cal so what ever floats your boat. In my opinion though I would stick with the .38 or the .45 since I'm not sure if you
could handle the recoil of a .50 cal hand cannon (the gun is made of plastic so that hardly dampens the recoil) unless you work out your arms a lot
and know how to fire it. (this is not sexist because i'm a guy and I doubt I could effectively use a .50 cal pistol with my current physique.)
As a summary you want something that does a decent amount of damage, holds a decent amount of ammunition, and doesn't have too much recoil. Recoil =
bad accuracy from shot to shot, but if the gun isn't powerful enough accuracy won't help you.
So, you want a decent balance between firepower and accuracy. In this case you either go with the M9 or the Glock because quite frankly the size and
the 7 round capacity of the 1911 impairs the gun as a survival weapon.
The good thing is both the m9 (or m92fs if you want to get fancy) or the glock both have a clip capacity of at least 13 (the m9 has 15) right out of
the box.
so now Glock or m9? It's all on your personal preference. If you want the gun to have some weight to it, need lots of ammo, and be able to take a
beating you definitely want the m9. However if you want something that fires underwater and in sand you want the Glock. The downside is the plastic
models can crack and break leaving you with a useless weapon.
EDIT: sorry I forgot to mention the USP
world.guns.ru... it's replaced the M9 in it's use by alot of countries special
forces including the SAS. It's lighter than the M9 but heavier than the glock. Problem is you're stuck with the 13 round capacity and it's more
expensive.
Another weapon to strongly consider is by far my favorite pistol: The Sig Sauer p22(6 8 or 9)
This gun as you can see takes features from all the best weapons and frankly it's better than the USP in any condition. The gun comes in both 12 and
15 round capacity and it is Durable, small, lightweight, powerful, and accurate. This is the best handgun on the market. It comes in .357 and .40
caliber.
