Para Ordnance for one.

I thought the PA state police already went to .45 GAP?

Springfield XD, Glock 21, and FN P45 would probably be the contenders.
Para-Ordnance might be in the running as well. The Taurus 24/7 is probably an unlikely longshot, though it may not have been submitted for consideration.

STI Tac 5.0.
Nice budget the Danish Special Forces must have to be handing out those things.

Glock or H&K
If the budget is a consideration, I'd go with a Glock 21. They have lots of miles in police holsters around the country and can take plenty of abuse and still keep working.
If the budget allowed, the H&K USP 45 or HK45 would be interesting choices, and are probably as tough and reliable as the Glock with more trigger options.

My GF's dad carries a Para P-14 LDA as his duty weapon. Privately owned, of course, because his dept's standard issue is Glock.

You can click on the link further down to read my "average guy" range and performance review on the FNP-45 / FNP-45 USG.
Some folks are concerned with reports about the FNP-45's large size. Like most locker room tales, things seem a bit exagerated when actually seeing the real thing. I have size 8.5 hands (surgical glove). Here I am holding my FNP-45 USG. As you can see, it's hardly "overly" large in my hands. With mags in the well I didn't find it top heavy or hard to shoot even with the tac light attached.
Although known throughout the world, FN is not as well known to Americans who have not served in the military...and even then the company is more known to those in the Combat branches of the various US Armed Services.
FN's reputation for quality, customer satisfaction and service is second to none. And, lately, they're becoming even more reknowned for their "blue collar" prices of their FNP sidearms...all made in the USA!

I'm for the FNP-45 USG!
The FNP-45 USG is a combat handgun that is proving to be Good to Go" right out of the case. It holds 14+1 rounds with the regular magazines, 15+1 rounds with the extended mag (shown below). All FNP's come with three magazines. The FNP-45 USG comes with two 14 rd mags and one 15 rounder. The 1913 front rail can hold tac lights (also shown). The perceived recoil is repeatedly reported to be equal to or less than most 9mm auto-loaders. The selector switch is both Safety and Decocker allowing one to carry "Cocked & Locked." The grip needs no "add-ons" for dependable handling. And it's selling from $485-$550 around the nation.
