Perhaps consider the Turkish remake of the recently-discontinued Browning HiPower, such as Canada Ammo offers. The BHP seems to "fit everyone". Reviews of this pistol have been very good, including folks here on CGN.

If you like a reliable, well made, accurate and cheap to feed handgun don't forget to look at Ruger's.
I have a Mark III Hunter and it's a terrific little handgun. I've literally put thousands of rounds through it and saved a lot of $$$ over what it costs to feed my 1911 .45 ACP.
You can buy a device that loads the magazines quick and easy (I own one)
They're not plastic and they feel real good in your hand and they're extremely accurate. I have a lot of fun with dinger targets at 25 yards out at my range.

Excellent quality clone CZ75 at an excellent price ---> https://durhamoutdoors.ca/SPHINX-ALPHA-SDP-c9mm-106MM-BRL-W2-10RD-MAGS_p_1684.html
See if you can find one of the IMI Jericho 941F surplus guns that were around before Christmas. I got one from Bullseye London for $450. It’s a nice gun to shoot, steel frame, good trigger and CZ 75 mags fit it. Mine showed a fair bit of holster wear but the barrel and feed ramp show very little wear.

Same dilemma as you have and I have made all the wrong choices so far. I kept looking for the Cool Factor when I should have tried them in my hand. Very expensive if you buy a firearm that feels wrong in the "hand". I am going to the TACCOM show in September and try as many as I can get to touch.. Hopefully that will solve the dilemma. Also at the range most members will let you try their firearms. The caveat here is that they have made upgrades that you will not get. There are so many pistols out there and trying to find the right one is hard. I must admit one member let me try their Shadow 2 and oh that felt so good. The price tag however was a killer..
Good luck and take your time to make the right decision.

What exactly does Surplus mean regarding pistols or revolvers ? Are they previously used ?

Yes and no.
They are generally service pistols from MIL/LE agencies that have seen duty and/or wear. Sometimes you can find service issue arms that were never issued and still in factory packing grease. More often then naught a dealer/distributer has bought a bulk amount and they can be had for decent prices.
The only draw back is they are sold "as is" and you don't have the luxury of picking a particular unit. That said, some of the past 92's or 226's offered on here were hidden gems and with a little bit of elbow grease turned into fine shooters at a great price for a lot of members on here.
