Hi guys, I am looking for a good reliable handgun for a CCW. But, The problem I have is that I am trying to find a certain type of gun and am not having much luck. I will try to best describe what I am looking for: It has to be all steel, No aluminum or alloy or polymer. Second, I would like it to be forged, Not cast. I do not want to start a forged vs cast argument, It's just what I am looking for. Third, I would like it to have a barrel no longer than 3.5". What I am basically looking for as far as looks is a 1911, I like the looks of the Colt Defender models, But they are aluminum frames. I have also seen the Kimber Super Carry Ultra HD, And I like the look of that aswell, But people say that Kimber quality is kinda hit and miss from what I have read and that their repair jobs are not the best. I need something that will save my life if it ever comes to that(which I hope it does not) and is comfortable to carry on my side all day. I know that all steel guns are heavier than alloy or polymer, But I like the durability that steel has and I also want something that will last as long as me. As far as caliber, 45 is ok, But if at all possible 9mm would be good aswell so my wife can shoot it too. I had a Colt 1911 a while back and she did not like it, She said it kicked too hard, But she loves my Springfield XD9 though. Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks for taking the time to read.
