Those HK's in this category sure are nice!
I consider HK a little out of my price range, along with Sig...although that could change. I'm not THAT poor!
Actually those two manufacturers offer platforms I REALLY like (compact hammer-fired).
Anyhoo, I mentioned Ruger's P345 in a previous post. After a few Googlings, I realized the P345 has a reverse safety, which is exactly why I don't carry a S&W 69xx series, which I otherwise really like. I just can't win.
Maybe I SHOULD just save up and get a really decent hammered compact 45 from a good name. I wouldn't want to spend more than about $700 though.
On that note (cost) a PX4 is just starting to look better better. I don't think it looks quite as nice as the others we've mentioned here, but it's still not bad. There's got to be some sort of tradeoff I suppose.
