I want to switch from a philosophy of collecting many guns to consolidating to two firearms. I don't hunt.

1) Sidearm -- 9mm/.45 cal semi auto, currently Ruger P-95 DC in 9mm

2) Evil* black gun -- military in 5.56

I am thinking AR-15, 5.56; but I don't want to build my own. I prefer US made, w/flash suppresor and nice rails for standard accessories. Want a rifle that I will be happy with for a very long time. Top end $1500.

Suggestions?
