So I've got a good bit of 9mm ammo with no 9mm handgun to shoot, and I've got around $600 to spend. I've decided I want a decent single action handgun, but I haven't been able to make up my mind. Looked at CZ's and EAA to name a few. I rode out to Kenny's Gun Room today, and after talking to him I feel more comfortable about buying online(never done it before). Looking for recommendations on guns, and websites to buy from. I don't really need the gun for CC or home defense, just looking for something that's fun to shoot. Let me know what your experiences are and all advice is welcomed.

I appreciate it, but I'm thinking I want to stick with single action guns. The 19 seems to be a practical CC type gun. I'm more looking for a fun range gun with a light trigger.

Walther PPX. WAY under $600 (CDNN Sports) and really a lot of fun to shoot. It's not single action, but you'll never know it.
Just watched a video. Looks cool as hell. I'll have to see if bass pro has one I can handle. Interesting grip design.

Have you checked Bud's Guns? Good prices and free shipping for most guns.
For a single action, maybe a 1911 in 9mm.

I thought about it. Didn't know a good starting point. After handling tennjeep's cz I thought I was dead set on that. But maybe a SA Range Officer in 9mm might cure the itch.

9mm 1911s have a very narrow window of tolerances in which they'll run properly. The platform just wasn't designed for the little bullets.
CZs like Ian's Jogan's and AlabamaTitan's are sweet! A CZ 75 would be a solid choice.
Me, personally, f I were to get a 9mm, it'd be a tuned, converted 92G, but I have issues.

The fact that Wilson combat offers a lot for Beretta's has nothing to do with that I'm sure.
it seeks a bit big for my hands but for sure a good option. I guess what ends up being the best $$valuebmay win this.
I've never been able to make myself like DA/SA. Sucks cuz I would love Sig otherwise but I just can't get used to that trigger.
That looks just about perfect and at one helluva price.

Don't know why I'm shooting my mouth off about this, but I've shot a couple of CZ's and clones and yeah they feel GREAT and shoot better than I deserve. My only gripe is that I have smallish hands and there isn't a lot of slide to grab when you need to rack it. That kept me from buying a nice Tanfoglio clone a while back. Otherwise, a great choice.
I have "smallish hands" as well, and I certainly noticed that. If this gun was going to be used for personal defense in any way, that would probably stop me. But since I just want to burn through some ammo at the range, and mainly just scratch an itch, I don't think it will bother me too much. But the once or twice I've handled a CZ, I kind of looked at the slide with a puzzling look for a second because I wasn't sure how to grip it. I guess I'm used to my 1911 and XD's that I can basically palm the top of the slide to rack.
