But again, I want a bigger gun. The .357 was too much so I sold it.

Have you looked at a Ruger P89? With the combat grips it is a very comfortable fit in my little hands and doesn't have much of a "kick" at all.AWB

Thanks, I love Rugers and will take a look at the P89.
Well I have "looked" at them under the glass but have not yet handled or shot one. Thanks for the tip.

If I can be nearly as accurate with a larger caliber then I can think of no good reason not to upgrade.
(other than price)

My Christmas list:

Ruger P89 / P85:

A service gun from Ruger, this gun is of good quality, is reliable, and not very expensive. It is available in several Action modes, Double Action, and Double Action Only. There is also a choise in the safety arrangements of the gun, and different finishes are also available. The Ruger P85 is a slightly older model with a slightly different internal safety but is identical in other respects. While the P85 is slightly older, there are many still in service. The P89 uses fifteen round magazines and the P85 uses identical magazines. Weight: 2 lbs (.9 kg) Caliber: 9 mm Barrel: 4.5 inch (11.27 cm) Action: Double Action / Double Action Only Range: 165 ft (50 m) Payload: 15 + 1 Cost: $ 430 Made in: USA Special: Good quality, reliable.

I like the P89 too. I bought a 40 round clip for it though. I call the clip, my 'Rodney King' clip.
