I have one of the Charles Daly pistols in my collection, and the trigger is so gritty it hurts my fillings. The sights also leave me cold.

The Taurus PT92, on the other hand, is an older Beretta design (at least mine is) with the manual safety/decocker lever on the frame as opposed to the slide (which bothers the bejabbers out of me for some reason). The grip on the Taurus feels like I'm trying to grip the butt end of a 2X4. Blocky is how one of my shooting buddies described it.

Alternatively, consider the CZ75B design, great ergonomics (some say better than the Hi-Power), 15- or 16-round mags are commonplace, cocked and locked carry is one capability, and accuracy you won't soon forget. They can be found (if you are lucky and persistent) in your budget, sometimes even well within your budget.

Rogueone, you beat me to the CZ posting, by just that much.
