Default Looking for 45 compact slim CC compact pistol
As the title says, I'm looking for a compact CC pistol in 45 acp. Can some one help with suggestions?

I'd like to stick with 45 because I already have a 9mm compact CC and a 9mm full size along with my colt 1911, so I'd like to limit my ammo to 2 different sizes.

I'm looking for something that will be comfortable with a IWB holster, be reliable and not leave a big footprint so probably singe stack, and have a da/sa trigger

Budget would ideally be under $600

Thanks

What meets your criteria is one of the S&Ws 459s..I don't know if they still make them, but I see used ones floating around..Allmost bought one years ago when they were on the "latest and the greatest" list..

My personal favorite is the Glock 36 followed closely behind by a Kimber Ultra CDP..

Glock 36 - one inch thick.
Here's one compared to a full-sized 1911:

I have one as well, and really like it, Very compact and hides easy with a IWB holster. Shoots very nice as well, make sure it's the Millinuim Pro version, that's the latest one, will say Pro on the slide. The first two versions juat say Millinium.

Have one of these as well, also a very nice pistol, not very compact though, more a full size gun

Look at what KAHR has to offer. A very thin, lightweight, reliable pistol. Here is a great article on the PM45
