looking to start target shooting.

There is a really nice High Standard Citation available in the exchange forum.

It's a 106 series with the fluted barrel.

I used to own this gun, it's a good one.

Get a CZ 75 Kadet. It will cost a little more than a Ruger, or Browning, but it is ergonomically almost identical to its 9mm big brother the CZ 75B. Moreover, it looks like a handgun is supposed to look. I've always thought the Rugers and Buckmarks looked wierd and cheap, with their long pencil thin barrels.
