Wheew!
For a moment there, I thought that I was going to have to be the first person to mention a Ruger as an option. With my first post, no less! Thanks for saving me, bakert...
I have been very impressed with my P97DC, thus far. It's reasonably accurate, reliable as the sun, consistently places the rounds the same regardless of the loads I'm using, and doesn't have uncomfortable recoil despite it's light weight.
Of course, it's also a bit on the 'beefy' side for size and looks like the handgun equivalent of a 1960s russian tractor (now, with plastic!). I call it 'my Ruger .45ACP AK-47'. It ain't pretty, but it's cheap and will fire every time as long as there's a round to feed into it from the magazine.
I have yet to fire the new KP345-series of pistols by Ruger but the gun mag guys have been all but wetting themselves with glee over them. Seem to get high marks in all categories and the more ergonomic grips that are standard are quite comfy to me.
Good luck with your purchase,
