Wanted to get suggestions for a full size 45ACP that meets these criteria....

1.All metal(aluminum is ok)

2.45ACP

3.Cost is no more than $600 max(includin tax)

4.excluding the 1911 design
 
It is discontinued but can still be found fairly easily.
Ruger P90.
 
Another vote for the ruger p90. My uncle has one and although cheap in price, its still a reliable nice shooting pistol and backed by rugers outstanding customer service.

Since no 1911's, Ruger P-90. Noit currently made, but probably still available here-n-there.

Ruger 345 still made and sold.
But it is a polymer frame and the OP wants an all metal pistol.
 
Doesnt have to be new but hopefully not hard to find.Thanks for the suggestions so far.
 
Why exclude the 1911 design??
Buy a revolver if the 1911 is an issue. I honestly can't understand avoiding the most tried pistol design. I would not carry anything else except my revolvers.
Good luck on your search........
 
Witness Elite Match. Most accurate 45 under $1000. Most accurate 9mm, 10mm, 40 S&W and 38 Super too. They can be had new for under your $600 threshold. All steel and mine is totally reliable. Good looking pistol too.

JimStc.............I like the 1911 design and have one.Im just looking at what other options are out there.
 
I had a Taurus PT945, and that was one fine .45. It was accurate. It is in your budget and is a really fine looking pistol as well. I could hit the target consistently at 100 yards with it, but I don't recall the group size. I don't remember it ever jamming either, even with hollowpoints and semi-wadcutter reloads. The stainless one was light for it's size.

Miles,
I get it now. Thanks.
The S&W 625 is a beautiful gun. I have one and agree wholeheartedly with RC's recommendation. Retail at S&W's website is $979. I think I paid $825 at my LGS. I asked them to order it and it was a 10% over cost to them purchase. GunBroker has about 30 for sale if you do a search.
