Looking for suggestions

[DB2]

Ok handgun aficionados, I'm looking for suggestions.

I am not a handgun guy. Not saying I don't have one or know how to use one, but my experience with various models is nil. If it's not a 1911 or a revolver, I'm kind of lost.

As much as I love the 1911, I'm looking for something a little different. This is a list of what I'm looking for.......

9mm
Metal frame.
Single action/manual safety.
Capacity. (only reason I have to go with 9mm)
Full size. (just not larger than a 1911)
Price range $500-$900. Think $750.

Ca rostered would be helpful. Since I'll be compiling a list of guns I can go find/look/finger, and maybe even test drive.

When I say capacity, I am fully aware of the 10 round law. Lets just pretend we live in "free America". I do not have a CCW. I do not plan to carry this gun holstered on my body.

I am not a fan of polymer framed handguns. I would like to stay with an all metal gun. I'm not opposed to a compact frame, but no sub-compacts. I am not unfamiliar with decockers, I just prefer manual safeties.

I dislike noob questions like this. I searched for a while and found some info, but it wasn't what I was looking for. Maybe I missed it. If I did, sorry. throw up a link.

TIA

Beretta 92 in the price, or a CZ75. Also, an FN HiPower would be real nice, but new would be more expensive.

I'm a 1911 guy myself and the only other gun that melts into my hands like a 1911 is a SP-01.

I second the Beretta 92.

Per your requirements, I would highly recommend a CZ 75B single action. There is one for sale on CalGun Marketplace for $600 in Sacramento. Don't know the seller personally but seems like a great guy.

SP-01 all the way

I would have suggested SP-01 but OP wants single action with safety.

Steel frame single action; Browning/FN Hi power or CZ 75 SA.

You can get the CZ with a steel frame and a manual safety instead of a decocker, so it can be carried cocked and locked. That variation will allow you to lower the hammer after you have chambered a round (be careful), and then use the double action trigger. A friend of mine has one I have shot a couple times, and I really like the gun.

I would also suggest the Beretta 92. It has an aluminum frame, and the safety is also a decocker, so it doesn't exactly meet your requirements. But, it really is a great handgun in my opinion.
