You have $500 for a used .45. What would you get?

You might be able to get a nice 1911 in a few months of doddg doesn't sell it.

Not sure it will take that long

Have made decision and will be picking it up within 2 months...thanks for the feedback everyone. The winner is .....Sig P227 SAS.

Browning BDA 45 (aka Sig P-220). Mainly because I don't think I can get a HK P9 for 500$.

Glock 30 hands down. I had a Sig P227 and traded it. Both hold 10 rounds, but there is no comparison when it comes to EDC.

That is a great choice. You will have to look a bit to find one for $500 though. If I was going with a non-1911 .45 auto that would be high on my list.

Update: Have been to the range and am very happy!

For that price I could get a Marlin 1894 in 45LC and carry it like Longmire. Then just keep the old Remington R1 1911 in belt as back-up. I know, not what the OP had in mind, but it seems like a good plan nonetheless.

Hope that Sig works well for you.

That sounds like fun too!
