I'd like to see the Sig P220 replace it.
Realistically though, that's kind of spendy (Maybe? Depending on contract terms?). Cost is the only real con of the P220 in my book.
Glock 21 would probably be a good bet. Inexpensive and can take a real beating. And of course it's .45ACP.
Whatever the replacement, I agree with others. Due to the necessity of using ball ammo, the return of the .45 is long overdue.
Coronach pretty much said it (above), although, as I said, I'd prefer the P220 (rather than the 1911). The big draw of the 1911 is that there are no patents in force, so the military can solicit bids for them from pretty much everyone.
