I will cast another vote for the Ruger P-90! It's reasonably priced, durability like a tank, feeds most anything and reliable. It might be a little large for concealment, but it will go bang everytime the trigger is pulled.
It would be a great range/home defense pistol! Good luck my friend!

You are more organized than I am zippy .....I'm impressed ...
( I love crawling around on my hands and knees picking up my brass / and I pick up a few thousand cases dropped by somebody else too -----). Maybe I don't like moon clips because nobody has really shown me the tricks ....(you old guys know all the tricks ..) |

My favorite .45 ACP handgun is not an auto: The S&W 625
Some auto suggestions: CZ 97B FEG GKK H&K USP If you can find one, the FEG will be well under $300. It's similar to a 1st generation S&W auto. Pro-Mag used to offer magazines for this model, which will usually work. I wish I had kept mine as a "beater."

I have a Kimber 4" 1911, but my favorite .45 is Ruger's P345. Slim, lightweight, eats anything, light recoil, very easy to carry. You won't go wrong with the P345.

FNP 45 USG
I recently purchased an FNP 45 USG to replace my 1911 as my night stand gun. It has quickly become my range, night stand, and woods gun. It is by far the softest shooting 45 I have ever shot. I own a 1911, owned a Glock 21, have shot an XD 45, and this is the best of all of them. The trigger is phenomenal.
Buy one. You'll end up wanting another.

Maybe the USP compact.

I've been very pleased with the EAA Witness .45 auto. It feels good in the hand, and the recoil is a bit "easier" to handle than a 1911, due to the lower center of gravity of the slide.

The Firestar 45acp, which I regret selling every time I think about it. I qualified for my CHL with it, perfect score.Even carried it for while, till I developed a limp.All stainless construction, would shoot 3.5" groups at 25 yds all day long, freehand.The heavy weight tamed recoil, ate any kind of ammo I fed it...

A .45 ACP revolver makes sense if you want to keep one cenerfire ammo type around for practice with either semiautomatic or revolver platforms. I have two S&Ws, M25-2 and a M1917. Lots of fun and very serious weapons in their own right, accurate and powerful.
And moon clips are a great convenience, not a hindrance.
