.45 new production pistol search (help!?)

[nemo97]

I am looking for a .45 acp pistol with some specs I will not compromise on and am wondering if such a gun exists AND available.

The specs that I will not compromise:
Steel. Not polymer.
No trigger safety.
No grip safety.

The only pistol I've found thus far that fits this bill is a CZ 97, but they are quite elusive.

You say steel, not polymer....but I have to ask anyway...

What about metal alloy?


Sig P220 Elite Stainless is listed as all stainless
S&W 4566TSW & 4586 as well as other Variations like the 4506.
EAA Witness
The Baby Eagle from Magnum Research, I think makes them in .45

Well, it's not something I like, but you could get a box stock 1911, and pin the grip safety. That's easy to do.

Booyah! Of course. Why didn't I think of that?

Are you a die hard Sig fan like me?

Thank you for the quick responses.

Edit:
Yes, I think I should have stated "Steel or other metals." I do not care for light guns and much prefer the weight of a steel gun.

2 P228's and an X-FIVE...but when I see .45ACP my mind thinks 1911, 'cuz I also love them so...

Nice. my first was my P228. Now I have a P228, P226 in .40, a P220 and I just ordered a P229 E2 SAS Gen 2 in .40 that Im thinking about getting a .357 barrel for.

In that case any Sig P220! you just tripled your choices!

Ruger P91 has an aluminum alloy frame. Probably lighter than you want, though.

All steel .45 ACP pistols without a grip safety are bit hard to find. EAA, Sig and CZ seem to be the most likely choices if you want a new gun. You might find a S&W semi-auto on the used market or go with the suggestion to pin the grip safety on a 1911.
