Trying to come up with all the pistols made with decockers and chambered in .45. The only ones that come to mind are:

SIG 220
SIG PRO
H+K USP

There have to be others...
 
Unfortunately on the used market these days.
S&W 4526- Full size 45 with decocker instead of slide mounted safety.
Excellence!! :)

Beretta makes a .45 cal Cougar. They may make a decock only version. The standard version does decock and also is a saftey.
 
Taurus PT945. Has the "triple action" safety, up for cocked and locked, down past "OFF" for de-cock. Beretta improved it on the 9000S (but 9mm & .40S&W, no .45ACP) making it up past "ON" for de-cock which eliminates the potential problem with the Taurus system if you are in the habit of keeping your thumb on the safety lever while shooting.

Astra had a sorta SIG clone in .45ACP with a decocker.

Do you want to count the Para Ordnance "LDA" system as a decocker?

--wally.
 
In addition to the 4526, S&W did offer a factory slide mounted decocker option for the 4506. In the newer guns, it was a simple parts change. Older ones needed some gunsmithing.
 
If memory serves the 4566 could also be had with above mentioned slide mounted decocker. Those 45xx series pistols were excellent indeed.
