Scoping out 45's

[TLC]

Here are my criteria:
1. No 1911
2. No polymer
3. Under $850

Is it still possible to get a quality firearm under those conditions?

Revolvers fit your criteria.

[BajaJames83]

Maybe a sig or cz, older S&W semi autos.

Yup, an Uberti/Cimarron SAA in .45 Colt is a nice piece and would be under $700...
mine are .357s but they're right fine.
Prolly not what you had in mind though.

CZ 97 if you dont mind a large grip. I just about bought a 3rd one yesterday on gunbroker. It went for $520. Very good, quality gun.

Sig P220...you may need to buy used to meet your budget though

I stand corrected.

Now I'd like to add a CZ 97 to my collection.

Eventually.

yes, I want one of these as well...its the only CZ I like the look of.

Anybody that wants to try mine just show up to the next north oc shoot at field time.

If I get down that way, I'd like to say hello.

Meanwhile, another reason I like that 97 (thanks for the reminding us of their existence!) is that I love my CZ 527 Carbine.

Glock 21, Springfield XDM, SW M&P, maybe a Sig, and a used HK USP.

[Williexcited]

ditto on cz 97.

I got mine for $500ish. The large grip is overstated, its not as big as the internet claims it to be. I have medium hands and it fits me perfect. The double action shot is long but single action is nice. Newer 97's have an improved feed ramp. I have boxes of hollow points I want to test.

Why would you not want a 1911???

Ruger? P90 or something?
