I was on a long car drive the other day, and had some time to kill, so I was trying to imagine what the perfect carry gun for me would be... its easiest to describe as an amalgam of other guns I own or have owned. I'm wondering if these features exist in a currently produced gun:
The overall feel would be like a commander sized 1911 (or a SIG P225) with a narrow grip - so I suspect it would be a single stack.
It would have a metal frame (SS or a durable alloy is fine)
It would be striker fired, and have no external/manual safeties, every trigger pull the same (no SA/DA).
It would have a short trigger pull, with a short crisp reset (like my Steyr M40-A1 - not like the long numb pull of a Kahr, or the SIG DAK.)
If I could get all of those wishes filled, I'd be fine with 9, .40, or .45 -- but I'd prefer a .45.
Are there any non-polymer single stack striker fired guns on the market (other than Kahrs, they don't fit my hands)? Ones with night sights, short crisp triggers, easy take down and cleaning, and a high level of accuracy?
What comes closest?
