I've got a Glock 19 for spring/winter/fall carry, a Kel-Tec P32 for summer carry, and a 44 mag (rat brand) for hunting. I've been looking to get into the world of 45's, but I don't feel like shelling out 800-1500$ for a "custom" job. A friend of mine got a Norinco that looked pretty good for 150$ new from a gun shop, and he says it shoots as good as his Gold Cup. I'd like to stay away from the Chinese stuff, though, so what about a Charles Daly? Are they any good?

Or should I just go ahead and get a Glock 30/36?
