What hammer fired handgun would you buy for around $1,000

[WSS01]

Without hesitation, a Stacatto or Atlas. Especially for around $1k.

Huh, Wut? I think you meant $3000-$9000.

I wouldn't pay that but OP said for $1000. I would not pass up either for $1000.

Only hammer fired handguns on the roster I'd buy are 92F or P226.

Are you deliberately missing the point of his question? I’m sure OP has dreams of their own, no need to insert your own of a $1000 Atlas

I’m down to SA 1911’s and 92’s. Sigs LCI/MD is so F-ing ugly

I picked up both a P226 Mk25 and a Beretta M9A1 in the last few months. Took both out to matches as the first shots through the gun, I love the SIG for what it is but the M9A1 was a much better shooting gun for me. DA pull was not bad, reset was much better on SA and the sights were much more conducive for shooting (after I blacked out the rears with Sharpie) than the 226. For a hammer fired gun in the $1000 range I'd go for an M9 of some sort, or a Springfield Loaded in either .45 or 9MM if you were looking for a dedicated single action gun.

Wow the reset is atrocious on the M9 compared to a MK25 with factory SRT
