That SA 9mm Loaded in the BST right now is the cats pajamas. It's not a rail gun, but I will tell you its a great deal for the money, and a sexy looking gun as well. If I had the spare cash, Id own that gun.
When I bought my Les Baer I was fondling the Baer and a Brown. It was a tough call. The Baer was probably $500 less so I went that route with no regrets. Something about the Baer just felt right. But the Brown was awesome. Hopefully someday.

An older model GP100, WITHOUT those big ugly grips that came on later models, is a sexy mofo

That is gorgeous, but the man wants a rail. I am not a 1911 rail guy, but I'd certainly not turn down some that have been posted in this thread. Time and place for everything.

Smith & Wesson is a religion of peace.
I have a hard time seeing "pretty" with a rail.. Its like seeing a prom queen who's missing a few teeth, but I digress.
I say find what flavor of CZ75 you like (they make them with rails too) and have at it!

Definitely pretty!
A Sig legion P229 is pretty darn pretty too.
I agree on the Sig Legion P229. Sigs do not do much for me, but something about the Legion series makes them drool worthy.

Looking at either a CZ SP01 or a Springer Operator, as they do pop up for sale. I know the CZ is a solid performer, and it sounds like you can get a lot of gun for the money on the Springer. And the Custom shop from Springfield or any other builders if I am wanting more.

I still wouldn't even if I won the stupid high lotto lol. It's very nice, just not for me.
If I did win, I would place an order with every high end 1911 maker.
Then go buy a lot from my LGS to make his quarter lol.
Amazing. Really interesting. Thanks for posting.

I had a safety model, I actually have no preference. Having had Sigs most recent, I am a bit more used to a decocker but a safety model would be no better or worse, just different process really.

Was just looking at these as well. And the wife thinks it's pretty.
She does like the operators as well, but I think she just wants to call it a 'smooth operator'.

But for twenty dollars I'll tell y'all how many...
...because twenty dollars is twenty dollars.
Always room for another Glock.
At this point I'm so invested in the G19 platform that there's no turning back. I'm full-blown addict.
Great Pistol .I just bought one a couple of weeks ago and it's an awesome carry gunEveryone has their own idea of what a pretty gun looks like......For me it is my S&W 3913. Shoots great too

These are both great pistols (meet your criteria of "pretty," rail, and 9mm).
Beretta/Wilson 92G Brigadier Tactical
Sig Saur X6 PPC (from Mastershop in Germany; these are fantastic pistols and absolute tack-drivers)

Sometimes I really hate you. You have been known to put bad thoughts into men's brains.

Oh, by the way...if you do go retro, don't be afraid to shoot the d*mn thing. Here's my first target for this baby, in deliberate, full, and open defiance of numbers 1, 2, and 3:

I want a CZ Shadow 2. But that's a dream gun right now.

I was really looking a 92 a bit ago, and it's still high on the radar as well. And just like a 1911, can be made to have a very nice trigger and be a fun shooting gun!
A good friend just told me he is thinking of selling something that meets all your specs ... a vintage early 1980's Sig P210-6! I am talking the true Swiss spec'd model in 95% condition w/ everything from box to test target to Sig patch. Near perfect matte black finish with beautiful walnut grips and 2 factory mags.

I may put up my unfired Colt Colt O1970A1T for sale but I am in SC
Nice!
I'm a SC resident, but unfortunately I've got other obligations I need to meet first.
And they ain't going to get any easier in the near future: our son starts college in 2 1/2 weeks, our oldest daughter starts next year, and our youngest two years after that.
My Avitar is my pretty gun,, This is a Springfield purchased new by me back in 1983. Used this gun that was finished in a really nice polished blue in many IPSC comps until I was finally sponsored in the semi pro ranks and provided with a finer weapon and leather gear. Fast forward to 3 years ago when I decided to reward my old 45 to a hard chrome bright polish thinking I would like a pretty gun.
Now, I hate even shooting it, dont like the silver flash in my sight as it recoils. After just a few rounds ,it looks dirty. Wish I just left it alone..
I bring it out to the range, people say " Wow, thats nice"
Yeah, I guess.... Now Its a safe queen.
