Ditto specifically a Canik SFL for me....
Guns in 9mm not available in .40 S&W that you would buy if they were?

See, sometimes you do get your wish. Since you got your wish granted don't you wish you had of wished for a million dollars instead?

Maybe a Glock 22 Gen 5. I have a G23 Gen 4 that's a great gun. Or if they came out with a G45 size frame gun in .40, that would be nice. I hear LEO's like the shorter barrel while driving

None. Went through my .40 S&W phase with SIG and Glocks quite a few years ago.

I didn't know the thread was also titled:
"I don't buy pistols in .40S&W"

Seeing as that pistol could barely shoot 9mm reliably, I don't think that the P08 will ever be made into a .40S&W version.

CZ-75. I love the way that gun feels in my hand. I think they used to have a model in .40 but dont anymore last time I checked.

I figured it would happen, lol. Same as any thread regarding Glock pistols. No matter what the question is, there is someone who always has to chime in with a comment about how Glocks don't fit them, or they are ugly, or they hate them.
And I broke down since creating the thread and bought a P365 since I decided twice as many 9mm rounds was better than 6 rounds of .40 S&W.

I'll second this.
(A P08 in .45 ACP would be acceptable in my book, as well.)
Glocka.... are fine for what they are.
Some people just try to fit the square peg in a round hole.
Original Post:
I want a steel frame, exposed hammer, full size pistol in .45 ACP that's not a 1911. Any suggestions?
Response:
Buy a Glock 19. It's the best.
That misses on 4 out of 5. I'll give you that it's not a 1911.

I like MikeInOr's idea, but stchman is right. So I suggest making the New Century Luger in 357 Sig. I think the bottlenecked cartridge will assist feeding.

That deserves a whole new thread, lol.
One of my pet peeves are threads and responses exactly like that. The other is when people ask for advice on a new pistol, then a couple of pages later announce that they made a choice and purchased a new pistol, then people continue to offer suggestions on what they should buy without reading the entire thread.
But yeah... "I am looking for a DA/SA in .357 Sig with an overall length of under 7", and with a safety..." "Ruger SR9".

Not 40, but i wished alot of guns were made in 9x18 or 762x25.
Haven't shot a G43 (hard to believe) but if it's anything like a P365 then .40 S&W is not at all tempting.

What guns do you wish were made in 9x18, Robbins290?

Monac. Any of them. Anyone that is being produced. Prefer a striker fired with a rail tho. Glock 19 size in 9x18 would be perfect. And a g17 size in 762x25 would be good
I guess I really don't have a huge desire for 9x18 in G19 size platform.
Maybe an RM380 in 9x18.

I have YUUUUGE hands. the glock 19 is the smallest i can carry and shoot good. All others are way too small. Tho a shield with the longer mag in is pretty comfortable. I know they make a 9x18 barrel for the 42. But that thing is way too small for me. I still have big iron worker hands.

I'm not Robbins290, but I'll answer:
Beretta Cheetah series. My second pistol was a FEG PA 63 in 9x18, and before long I picked up an East German Makarov, CZ 82, Polish P64, and Russian doublestack Mak. I enjoy the size, the recoil, and affordability of these smaller pistols. For the longest time, I lusted over the smaller Berettas, but didn't want to add an overlapping caliber (380) that I didn't have any other guns in.
I've since picked up an 81 in .32 acp, which works since I have other .32's.

I know, I'm being that guy, but I haven't seen a 40 cal pistol yet that I wouldn't like more in 9mm.
On a more constructive caliber-changing note, I'd love to see a single-stack Glock 48 in 45 ACP. The internet rage wars comparing a poly-striker so directly to the 1911 would be unending, but if you combine a 1911-ish grip with the unstoppable feeding of a Glock, you might really be on to something.
And while this one's not a hypothetical, the CZ 75 series are commonly thought of as a 9mm pistol - but have you ever tried the CZ 97s in 45 ACP? Freaking sweet. I like them even more than the 9s.
