Thanks to the advice of a number of very kind gents here, I made my first purchase of a Sig P229 .40 from Carl at F.S. last year. I really enjoy shooting it, even though I feel I need a something with a slimmer grip for better control (5'6, overweight, stubby fingers). My budget this time is a little more lax with a max of $2.5k (which is actually too rich for my blood...but...meh) though hopefully no more than $1k. I was originally thinking custom 1911 Les Baer /Wilson Combat/Nighthawk until I checked the roster...and...well...you know the rest.
Now I'm thinking S&W 1911 or Walther PPS, but neither appears to fit the bill. What I 'need' is something in a single stack or a ds which is thinner than the p229...with the reliability and accuracy (at least) of a Sig...caliber can vary...but ammo should be reasonably priced and readily available (9 mm-.45) so I can get some practice in. That sounds suspiciously like a single stack sig...but the way I've been given to understand it, there's no such thing, for MA at least.
I know I appear to be asking for alot, but ideas would be much appreciated.
