Or a S&W 457. Equally nice gun that is just a little bigger. There are quite a few nice examples in the used gun market.
Compact .45?

I have a Colt Officer's ACP: great gun, love the platform, outstanding trigger, but it's heavy.
I have a G30SF: like it; had some teething problems (trigger bar problem that seems to show up on some 30SFs), but works well now. It is accurate, but that is one thick slide!
Handled and shot a G36: like it as well and may get one in the near future. Slim and lightweight, the magazine capacity is 6 rounds.
FWIW: while it's not a .45, I'll just mention that I carry my G27 more than any other pistol I own. I find it the right combination of size/weight, cartridge/capacity, and accuracy/reliability for my needs. I carry mostly IWB, but the G27 and a Galco Yaqui slide make a nice trim OWB package.

I do... looking at a new agent now, and trying to find a Kimber RCP...The Kimbers nicer, as it has a melt job...Harder to find, though...They just recalled some New Agents...spring issues, I believe...

I like the Para c6 LDA 45 ,yea it has only a 6 round magazine but any regular 1911 mag fits as well its double action pull is easy ,almost same safety as a 1911,has grip saftey to.mine works great.

While I love my full size 1911, I think those stubby little 1911 chops jobs are horrible.
For a tiny .45, I would go with plastic.

Just curious; did have you have problems shooting/carrying one or is your aversion aesthetic?

If I were in your shoes - no doubt in my mind:
HK45c
IMHO, finest compact 45 currently on the market - bar none.

Purely and totally aesthetic, without any basis in reality.
That Detonics Combat Master, however conjures up childhood images of Miami vice, so I think it's cool.
Also, I just don't see any reason at all for me to ever own a compact 1911.
I haven't found an outfit yet that I can't conceal the full sized version with.

If you haven't tried one yet, you owe it to yourself to handle and fire an HK45c. The one for sale on this thread is tempting and if I didn't already have one, I would consider it myself.

I like this Para USA OPS. Steel frame so recoil isn't an issue. 100% reliable.
Try the CS 45 ether you will love it or hate it I have a compact 45 fetish "sig p245, detonics combat master, bersa uc 45, even a S&W 325PD I bought a CS45 took it to range amazed at feel and accuracy fell in love ended up buying a second one within 2 weeks H&K compact next on list
