My personal favorite is the SIG 220ST. I found the beavertail and the wood grips of the Elite too wide, don't care for the forward cocking serrations and prefer not to have the SRT

If it does not have to be new, consider one of the 3rd Generation S&W 45xx series pistols, which are rock-solid reliable and can be found for as little as half the price of a Sig or 1911. The all-stainless guns come with 5" (4506) or 4.25" barrels (4566 is most common) and the ones with the shorter barrel come in several variations (DA/SA with decocker and safety or decocker-only, or DAO).

I'll second a P220 Stainless. I prefer the Elite myself, but they ARE wide, as 9mmepiphany said.

I find it odd that when the OP post:
...we get several suggestions for the 1911 platform.
Are folks just choosing to ignore the OP, did they not read it completely (it was only one line) or do they think it doesn't apply to their choice?
I know the 1911but what else?

BINGO!!!! There are a lot of non-reading types on this forum, which is super ironic given the format of the conversations. I see so many foolish posts that are the exact opposite of what the OP is looking to discuss. You should start having a reading and comprehension test before granting membership.

Gee (hint hint on the "G") we could use advice like that on a LOT of threads around here.
I'm making an effort to set the standard in Autoloaders
The same as most other threads. No matter what the OP is looking for responders will hawk their favorites.
- "Looking for a reliable SA .45."
-- "Just get a Glock."
- "Want a DAO 9MM."
-- "Get a .45."
- "Looking for a nice conservative girl to settle down with."
-- "Go gay."

Well now the thread truly is derailed.
Great idea I would look at Gen 3 G21SF or Gen 4 G21. Despite not being stainless those guns do not rust. At least my Gen 3 slide doen't.
Ok, lets get back on track. How about original Detonics from Washington state with plastic insert in front sight blade or seldom seen 'Streetmaster' from Georgia?

S&W 945 PC would be my non 1911 choice, one of the best shooting . 45 pistols ever.

well it isn't shiny but the S&W M&P 45C is stainless. It also so happens to be my favorite handgun. It is very concealable, and it is large enough to be easy to control.

I've wanted a Sig 220 Sporter forever. The Stainless Elite is a close second.

Meh... on another forum I frequent there would already be a post or two saying "Should get a G****.":banghead:
As for the OP, I like the SIG 220ST.
I've only seen pics of the CZ97 stainless but it is stunning. Would love to hold one in my hand.
