Don't you hate it when you can't make a decision?

I am in the market for a .45ACP. The 45's I have owned in the past have been the CZ 97B, Glock 36, Springfield Armory Ultra Compact (loaded). I am one of those habitual traders and have literally owned about 18 different handguns in the past two years! So now I am wanting a new .45.

Here are the models that I have considered:

Glock 21 (although a bit big for carrying, I did find the 97B comfortable so I dont thing the 21 would feel too bulky.)

Another 97B? (My first one was a great one, though it was heavy)

Ruger 345 (Never had a Ruger Auto but I was impressed with my dads 9mm when I field stripped it....and I don't mind the mag disconnect) And it could actually be carried and concealed!

H&K!! (Lot's of money for that one...not sure I can hold out long enough to save up for it.)

Bear in mind, I DO know how to search and research the forums and have done so. All of these models mentioned have mixed reviews so I am not worried about functionality. I believe they would all serve a shooter well. I am looking for other view points that I may not have thought of.

If you get the P345, and are going to carry, get the decock & no rail. The DA pull on the gun is safety enough. I cant tell you how many time I've decocked my gun and holstered it with the safety still on, pulled the gun out and tried to shoot with the safety on! Other than that, I love mine.

if you want a 45ACP? why not a classic 1911?

2nd vote would be the mid-frame Glock. (sorry, the number escapes me right now)

How bout' a full size 1911? Like a SA Loaded or Milspec.

2nd vote would be the mid-frame Glock. (sorry, the number escapes me right now)

Glock 30

Made a decision: Ruger P345PR , Blued finish

Getting it from Bud's Gun Shop via Gunbroker. I will give a report when I take it out for a spin.
