Been considering the same, what would be a 2nd, non 911 choice for a .45

Probably will get a Ruger sr1911, but also wanted a .45 in non 1911 platform.
XDM looked pretty good. There is also the sig 220 I believe and the cz 97.

Would the XD be too close to the Glock (which I have available to use) and would the sig or cz be heavier than a 1911?

OR should I just get a ruger or SA like the OP is moving toward?

P.s., I don't care about the cost of ammo. I have thousands of rounds of reloads at my disposal or can reload more at any point.
