Does my "perfect" semi-auto exist?

[MyRoad]

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?

Yep, that's it, a P7. M8 or P7/PSP version. Nothing else comes even close. Not in 45 though. You have to go 9mm as the 40 cal version is rare, expensive and fat.

Not many all steel guns or even alloy anymore.

I agree with Reaper. The only issue that you may have with it is the squeeze cocking action.

Interesting. I had a P7M8 about 10 years ago. The cocking mechanism did seem very strange to me at the time and I sold it after a few months. It was the most accurate handgun I'd ever owned.

Has anyone tried/owned the Para Ord LDA trigger? I have no exposure to that. Is that actually a striker-fired gun, and if so, does it really require the external safety or did they leave that on to keep it 1911-like?

The LDA is a pre-set double action only hammer fired pistol.

The LDA is a pre-set double action only hammer fired pistol.

Thanks for that info -- what does the trigger feel like? Long or short? About how many pounds? "Crisp" when it engages? I know some people love them, like seem people love Kahrs (which I respect and admire, just can't live with them).

I've never fired an LDA, but I assume it's like all pre-set double action only hammer fired pistols. Long 5-8lb. trigger pull.
