Thanks fella's for all the fine advice. It's much appreciated. I went to three different shops ,and none of them would give me anything for the 4516-3. I understand it's not worth a million dollars (I'm not one of those type's) but LNIB, with original box & doc's ,and a special order non catalog is worth more than $200 IMHO. Oh well, the silver lining is I got to hang around gunshops and talk guns all day. I also got the benefit of yall's advice. I need to try one of those CZ's. Everyone I know has nothing but good things to say about them. You guys are on the money with the 92FS. I tried hard to barter for that Brigadier. It's definitely my next purchase. Thanks again to all. Oh , Mr Hatley ,I have lusted after the 952 for a bunch of years ,yours sure is beautiful, thanks for sharing that pic. Regards 18DAI.

Put your gun in the classifieds. You will get more there then you will from a shop.
Then take the money and get what you want.

if it is comfortable and price is not an option get the usp, expert or elite, neither are being imported and will retain value, not to mention great to shoot.
i own the usp expert in 45 and a usp45c both are exelent firearms, i have never had any problems.
you might also look at the sig 226, my step-father has one and it is also a great shooting gun.
it all boils down to what is most comfortable then price...
one of my other guns that is a blast to shoot is my FN Five-seveN, the only downside is the cost of ammo avg. around 20.00 s box for 50rnds, but it always draws a crowd, something about a 5.7X28 round traviling around
2000+fps w/ viturally no recoil
also i have nothing negative to say about the other guns listed, i am a big fan of glocks. i also have a springfield 1911 "loaded" in stainless, chambered in 9mm, it is a great gun and able to be customized.
good luck in your decision

USP not being imported please elaborate.
I liked the Beretta 92 series, but in the end, I went with a Magnum Research Baby Eagle. A full-sized steel 9mm that's based off the CZ. So far, it's been great, and have no regrets with the decision.
The USP is a much more expensive gun, especially since it's new compared to the other used models in your list. While polymer, and much lighter, it has been said to soak up recoil great (have yet to fire one).
Sounds like you have a decent list to pick from, so just go with the one that feels best, and you'll do great.

Hi 18DAI
ON another thought...... with the Px4 you might want to also look into a CX4Storm..... there is a model that will take the Px4 mags ......
this way you can buy the same caliber in both (Pistol and rifle) and not spend extra on mags !!!!!

Cx4 Px4 Carbine 14 rounds in .40S&W
Cx4 Px4 Carbine 17 rounds in 9mm

18DAI - The 952 is a very nice gun, but why not scout up something just as classy for a whole lot less money -- a S&W Model 39-2. I like 'em so much...
okay.. I only bought two... I'm not Victor Kiam so I couldn't buy the company (darn it!)
It may be an older design, but they can still be plenty accurate.
