Non- 1911 .45 Acp

Looking for recomendations

Requirements:
Double Action

Single stack

Not a Glock

$500 or less

Kahr CW45, P45, or TP45. All DAO, all single stack, none of them Glocks.

I'm big on Kahrs, so I'll let others come up with alternatives.

-edit-

The only one of my suggestions you'll find for less than $500 (new at least) is the CW45, but it gives up nothing in terms of reliability to the others.

S&W has some decent offerings. I like the model 4516.

Ruger P90, P97, P345

SW 645, 4506, 4566, 4516

SIG P220, P245

Ruger P90 or P345
S&W 4506 or 4566 (used)

4506/4566 sounds right up your alley

The Kahr's aren't Double-action - they just have a very long stiff trigger - once you drop the striker, you can't pull it again.

The Sig P220 is a classic (and if you're in the polymer camp, but not a glock fan, check out the HK or FN 45 models).

If you can find a SIG P220 for $500 ... get it.

They're not a true double action only but for all intents and purposes they're generally considered double action. Glocks are the exact same, i.e. without second-strike capability. If I get a failure to fire anywhere but the range I'm gonna tap-rack-boom, not click-click-click.

The only true DAO striker fired pistols I know of are Taurus.
