I just bought a Ruger SP 101 in 9mm, did an action job on it dropped a10 lbs. Mainspring in it and it shoots like a laser!!
It took me a while to find one but it was worth the wait. It uses full moon clips and loads/unloads as quickly as a speed loader. I carry 147 +P's @ 990 fps and it packs a wallop at both ends. For plinking I buy the cheapest 9's I can find and burn em up.
It's a 3 incher and I carry it in a Simply Rugged holster on the belt and almost forget it's there. When the ammo shortage happened a few years ago I bought a couple nice .22 revolvers cause I could shoot them relatively cheap. But even though I enjoyed shooting them I missed the bigger calibers. I can buy 9mm for around $12.00-13.00 dollars a box, not a whole lot more than decent .22 target ammo.
If you are looking for something unique/different but still want to shoot it a lot for not a lot I can whole heartedly recommend the Ruger. I find myself carrying it quite a bit even though I have 6 or 7 different options. I had never even held an SP until recently when a buddy let me shoot his in .357 and I was struck with how well they point and shoot.
