Hello Everyone,
I have owned several brands of pistols including Beretta, Browning, Colt, Glock, Ruger, Sig Sauer, and S&W. However, I would like to acquire (or customize) a medium sized pistol and compact pistol that meets the following criteria:
Medium Sized Pistol Criteria:
1. Caliber: .40s&w, or .357sig, or.45acp
2. Single action and double action
3. Straight grip backstrap (i.e. Beretta Vertec, Colt 1911, or S&W 59 type grip).
4. "Metal" slide and frame (both all steel or steel slide and alloy frame.
5. Mainspring surrounded by metal.
6. No slide mounted safety
7. Very reliable ammo feeding and case ejections
Compact Sized Pistol Criteria:
1. Caliber: 9mm or 40s&w or.357sig or .45acp
2. Rest of criteria is the same as the medium sized pistol
The compact sized pistol accepting the medium size pistol magazines, would be a nice bonus.
Are there any guns (discontinued or in production) that meet both or either sets of criteria? Or are there existing guns that could be modified by a gun smith to meet these criteria? Thanks.
