I am looking for a .45ACP at a good price, but a very specific kind.
I want a shooter with a metal frame so that it will be heavier. I can take aluminum or steel. For me, the polymer framed guns are usually too light.
I want at least a 3.75 inch barrel and I would prefer it longer and it has to be double action. I can go with a double action/single action or a GLOCK like safe action, but I will not consider the 1911 style cocked and locked safety.
I had a SIG 220 which should have met all these requirements, but it was in fact too light and I found the recoil tiresome.
I have been looking for a BERETTA or STOEGER 8045 Cougar, but have not found one in my price range.
I would buy a RUGER P-90, if I found one in decent shape and a good price. I had one before and my only complaint was the "clunky" feel of the grip. It worked 100% for me.
I even bid on an a long discontinued ASTRA 100, but it went up too high.
S&W steel frame guns like the 645 and later models seem to be running up to collector prices when I see them, which is not often at the gun shops.
So I may be chasing windmills on this.
