Thank you, one and all, for the suggestions. Unfortunately, pickin's was slim at the show, with nothing being both interesting and reasonably-priced, so I came home empty handed.

Now that you have purchased nothing, you can look for an actual good deal on Gunbroker.
The CZ 97B has always fascinated me. I just don't need another 45. Though the Sig P227 is calling my name all the time also.
I was doing ok without one, because my HK45 fills that role, but Sig has a Stainless Elite model on their website now, and I kind of hear piccolos and angels sing whenever I look at it.I am suffering the siren call of the 227 myself. At first I wrote it off since 10 rounds for a doublestack .45 seemed silly when I already had 1911s, a sig p245 and p220, amd a Glock 21 and 30.
Then I realized it is the size of a 226, which is only barely larger than my newly beloved 229 and I realized I can CCW it quite easily (the 229 carries like a Glock 19 for me).
So now I'm saving my scheckles for one.
