Bersa Thunder Ultra compact 45. Haven't fired one but held it, very nice feel in the hand. Very pretty too.
I have a couple of EAA Witnesses in 10mm, both fullsize and compact. They may require some fiddling to get reliable though...probably would go for a cz97b before one of these (except they cost little more than 1/2 the cz)
I'm surprised the glocksters haven't jumped this thread yet...
Glock 21, and I think Glock 30 are other options for tupperware.
I like my SW99 in .45, although I am often a lone voice in these non-1911 .45 threads. It is a single stack .45 that gives you 9+1, so the grip is not fat like the double stack ones, although I have big hands, I prefer my hand to really wrap around the grip.
It had some problems with the slide locking back about 300 or so rounds into it, I sent it back to S&W, at their expense. I received it back 2 weeks later, with a new barrel. So far (about 300 more rounds) it has been flawless. Everyone that has shot it likes it...once they get used to the DA/SA trigger. Personally, my first shot, that being on DA is usually a flyer that is ~4-6" high at 10 yards. Subsequent rounds (in SA mode) are right on. Now, granted I can get the first round in the black in DA mode if I am slow, but I usually like to shoot from DA mode with a quick, real life gun raise and shoot.
Overall it is a good gun, but, I have a P220 on my short list
A SIG 220 ST would be mine in a 1911-less universe.
I could also put in a kind word for the ergonomics and reliabilty of a Beretta 8045 Cougar. I am very looking forward to trying out the forthcoming Beretta PX4-45 because of my positive experiences with the Cougar.
Holy cow, I see a common thread ... the P-220 ... I heartily concur. Although I've recently for the first time ever, tried a HK USP (I'd never given 'em a thought because they always looked so clunky and ugly to me). I was pleasantly surprised; more ergonomic that it looks, quite accurate. A different feel, but a buddy claims it fits his hand the best of the big autos.
