As others have said, in a 9mm for a play gun that could be carried, you can't go wrong with the G-34; if you will carry it more than shoot it, get the G-17 which can also be made into a really great play gun via readily available aftermarket parts or simply spring for the money & buy a ZevTech version already tricked out.
As for a 1911, it's hard to beat a Springfield TRP or a Colt Combat Elite, Colt Competition or a Colt Special Combat Government for a very usable, out of the box option.................just depends on how much money you want to invest & how serious you want to be; all are great guns for a stock piece.
