I am looking for a little help. I am looking at purchasing my first semi-auto handgun. I am looking for something that will be #1) durable, #2) light, #3) accurate, #4) fun to shoot (2&3 are pretty evenly ranked) . The number one reason for my purchase is to carry some extra protection while backpacking (mainly Oregon & Washington areas). I am also looking at getting my CWP in the next few months, so I would like it to fill this roll as well. After a few weeks of trolling handgun forms, talking with friends, & visiting gun stores. I keep coming back to HK, Kimber, & Springfield. My top two choices of these are the HK45C and HK45. I am looking for more input and maybe a few other options to look at. Any comments would be appreciated.
