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.
Just a smidgen out of my price range lol.

I really want to stay undeer $600.I recently bought a CZ75b and flat out love it.Im interested in their 45acp version but cost is an issue.Im taking a closer look at the stoeger and p220.
 
Star Firestar .45. Accurate and reliable.

Or, a Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Special revolver. Not a .45, but the bad guys will never know the difference.

I second the recommendation for the EAA Witness .45. I love mine. I've had the for 13 years and they're tough, reliable, and accurate.
 
Another vote for the S&W 4506/4566 options. As reliable as Old Faithful. There should be enough $$$ left over for several boxes of ammo as well.
 
Another vote for the EAA Witness Elite Match .45ACP, its the gun the CZ97 should have been and uses the same magazines as the CZ97. Run around $550 new around here.

Dawson precision makes a nice fiber optic front sight for them which really helps my old eyes.
 
The SW 4506 looks sharp.How hard is it to find mags for it?

Ive heard that EAA CS isnt the most helpfull.Any truth to this?

I did find one sig 220 locally but the guy wants $650...non-negotiable.He didnt seem to helpful.

Anyone actually shoot/posses a stoeger 45acp?Anything good/bad they want to maybe share?

That's true, but they don't make the guns, they do have a good on-line parts ordering setup.

You'll probably get better support from Henning Wallgren http://www.henningshootsguns.com/ if something should go wrong but the Elite Match are very well made pistols and pretty much problem free in .45ACP, other calibers, especially 10mm, can have magazine issues.
 
Before buying a S&W 4506 borrow a friend's and try it first. I carried one briefly before going back to a Sig P220. I shot better with the Sig and when hip shooting (we did that as part of our qualification shoot) the muzzle blast was more pronounced than that of a Sig.
 
If you want all-metal non-1911 in .45ACP, Ruger P90. No longer made, but still available here-n-there.
