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

I had the SRT installed and it's definitely much better than OEM. I don't usually "notice" reset if that makes sense, as I switch a lot between guns/reset in recoil like people should be doing - but in the Mk25's case the reset was very noticeable during the shot process out of the box. It was not that way with my M9

Out of curiosity, why do you think that? I’ve only heard the opposite be recommended

PX4 is really underrated.

$1k for a base P226 with 2 mags….? Meh…

I believe the P226 Nitron is the base model and the Extreme is comparable to a Scorpion, but in black and sans the beaver tail.

I realized my wording is a little confusing - did you mean switching between guns often? Or resetting in recoil?
