Single action semi auto - non 1911 or striker fired

[Byrd666]

Hey guys and girls

I'm looking for a Single action only semi auto pistol that is not a 1911 style or striker fired. Is there such a critter out there that can be had for a reasonable price. I'm preferring this to be of 9mm or larger caliber but, no more than .45, including .38 super and special. Any ideas?

SAO Sig P220 and the classic Hi Power come to mind.

+1 for the high power. But might be out of your price range. Give the feg 9hp. Its a clone. I shot it next to the high power and couldnt tell the differnce. You can get one for about 3-4.

2 great ones there, to those I'll add

Witness Elite Match, which can be had in 9mm, .38s, .40s&w, 10mm, & .45acp

CZ 75 P-07. Cock the hammer and you have a sweet shooter from then on.

Well, THEY think $1400-$2300 is a reasonable price.
As do most of the owners who have bitten the bullet.

 

[NinjaFeint]

CZ 75 SA can be had for a very reasonable price

Springfield XD, it's SAO and striker fired.

Witness Elite Match.

Since we are going to pictures...

I think he does not want a striker fired gun.

 

[Byrd666]

Exactly right 2wheels. NON striker fired and NON 1911-1911 clone.

That CZ looks pretty good, as does the EAA and they are both in the reasonable price range as well. Didn't see any today at the gunshow, maybe they'll have a few in March.

Completely misread that.

Walther PPK

 

[jman74]

Hi-Power for 9mm. SAOP220 for a .45. I've got one of each and they are as good as everyone says.

 

[SniperJon]

CZ 75, most accurate, well built single action for around $500 new

 

[needmorecowbell]

+1 CZ 75B SA. Great gun for the price.

Good ones above, I'm throwing in the Bersa Thunder. It's hammer operated with a decocker/block safety, DA/SA pull. many calibers available from the mid-200's to $400.

The .380 is the majority of my experience, but they do make larger 9mm and .40's, and the compact .45 ACP has had my eye recently.

My old man shoots the hell out of his .380 one, and it's his usual EDC when not carrying a CZ-82 (also a very good gun!)

They don't advertise much, they're Argentine made, but while they're not as finely polished, they tend to function really well. They do appear to have a lifetime original purchaser warranty

In fact I was so impressed by my Old man's .380, just this afternoon I placed an order for the .22 Thunder at my LGS as a surprise for my Eldest's 10th in March. They appear to be identical in construction save for the caliber.

Don't worry, any nannys reading this, she doesn't get it on her own until she hands me her CHL as an adult. I'm a mean Dad.

I'll try to remember to write up a first 1000 round report on it when we get it to the range. May torture-test it on day one just to be evil.

 

[Byrd666]

I already own a Bersa Thunder 9 UC Pro. And yes, they are great for the cost.

Let me re-post this as I think some folks may not have read it.

I'm looking for a Single action only semi auto pistol that is not a 1911 style or striker fired. Is there such a critter out there that can be had for a reasonable price. I'm preferring this to be of 9mm or larger caliber but, no more than .45, including .38 super and special. Any ideas?

I know you said SAO, but I have a CZ 97b and only shoot it from the cocked and locked SA pull.

 

[Bozwell]

If you go the CZ route, I'd highly recommend the adjustable SAO trigger that CZ Custom sells. Easily one of my favorite triggers for a CZ.

Yes. The Witness Elite Match I pictured above and the CZ 75B SA both meet those specs. There are probably others also.
