So right after sandy hook/before deployment, I stockpiled a significant amount (~10k rounds) of 45 auto ammo and components, plus a couple XD45s, since it was unclear whether that stuff would be legal when I returned, I didn't know better, and it was available. flash forward to now, and I still have about 1k rounds loaded and components for another 8k. I've beent trying unsuccessfully to find a buyer for the components, and can't stand the thought of continuing to shoot the XDs another 9k rounds, so I'm starting to shop for a new pistol as a contingency. The main purpose of this pistol will be target shooting/skills development, church security, and maybe some local USPSA matches.
Criteria, in priority order:
45 acp
DA/SA, or DAO - from what I can tell, this basically cuts the list to sig, HK, and FN
factory optics cut - HK drops out
Eligibility for at least one USPSA class other than open, ideally USPSA carry optics legal - nothing left, the optics cut sig P220 Legion and FNX 45 tactical aren't on the USPSA production list
Is there something out there that I'm missing that hits the above criteria?
Are there any striker fired 45s with decent triggers (IMO, glock and xd triggers blow)?
I know there are a gajillion 1911 clones and derivatives, do any of those get you away from the cocked and on-safe in the holster situation? I've never carried a pistol with a side safety, and am very disinclined to start doing so.
Thanks for the help
