Want to try a DAO..what suggestions?

[HI express]

THR members,
I am getting that old itch to get another .45 but I want to try a DAO in compact.
I see that H&K has a LEM trigger in compact .45, Para-Ordinance has a few in DAO...anybody else that you guys can recommend?
I'd like to hear your suggestions and why you recommend or discourage them...mostly if you would choose a DAO or not.
Thanks in advance for all your comments.

The new SIGs with the DAK trigger are impressive. I've never been more than luke-warm about SIGs, but that new trigger is nice.

And then there's the Kahrs. I have a P-9 I like a lot. And a S&W 4043, and a SPHINX compact that is DAO. All of them have good triggers. (The 4043 only after doing a little work and installing a lighter mainspring.)

Can't speak for others but really like my Para C7.45, got it used and somewhat abused. Never had any problems at all.

+1 Walt's comments about the LEM and DAK triggers. I have both. Slight edge to the LEM. The DAK trigger is lighter, but gets heavier if you use the short trigger reset. The LEM is consistent regardless of reset.

DAO 45 compact. Look no father than the Taurus Mil Pro PT145

Got to play with one in a store and I tell you, it just feels good in your hand, has a great trigger, and holds 10 rounds of 45ACP
