I have a Bersa UC 45 and a Kimber UC CDP II and both are perfect performers. I would also bet the Kahr PM-45 would be nice. I also have an XD 45 Compact, but I don't consider it to really be "compact"! I had a Springfield Micro that was a pig though.
I second the Taurus Millennium Pro PT145. I have the 2nd generation DAO model and just love it. I know there are Glock haters on here and Tarui haters...those that hate S&W with the lock, etc. Me, I have had perfect reliability out of this 10 + 1 .45 ACP Pocket cannon. I use 160 grain Corbon DPX: http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/Corbon 160 gr DPX.htm
note how it just dwarfs the Glock 19:
When I'm not carrying my GP100...I carry this and think it is the perfect defensive weapon:
ParaOrd Slimhawg,its a 3" 1911,conceals nice and I am comfortable with the way it 'handles'.Wife has a Kimber Ultra Carry 2...hooked on both for the .45 ACP.
I myself have a glock 36
It is new to me but I went throught the same delema.But the glock was easy to conceal.And I think it is as accurate as my sig 228 (which I have for 12 years and love).
The m&p is comming out with a compact 45 but no one in newyork seems to have one.
goodluck
One of the sleeper .45's that is often overlooked in the S&W 457.
My Colt Defender went about 1500 rounds before the recoil spring assembly puked on me (easily replaced)... but made me ask myself the question "What if it pukes the one time I really really need it?"
So I tend to stay with Commander sized .45's and the aforementioned S&W 457.
I've never owned a Taurus firearm as I am willing to pay premium prices for premium firearms. I bought a stainless Taurus PT145 Millpro .45 on a lark and its been 100% reliable, with more accuracy than it should have and reasonable felt recoil.
