John,
for a fullsize weapon that is fun and reliable, I would definitely look at something .45ACP or 9mm. The .45ACP is an inherently accurate cartridge. It shoots at low presseures and the recoil is very manageable. The 9mm is also very manageable and is less expensive to shoot. You can practice a lot more with the 9mm for less cash. I like the bullet offering better in the .45 ACP better though. I am a big fan of 230grain bullets. With the cartridge being said. I would take a look at a Glock 21SF or Glock 21 Gen4 in .45 ACP or the Glock 17 Gen 4 in 9mm. Hope this helps.
