    If you shop around you can get a Dan Wesson VBOB for that price.
    I bought a black VBOB last year lightly used for $1400.

    I doubt you can get a higher quality pistol than a Dan Wesson of your choice for twice the cost.

    I believe you're talking about the part of the chart that is specifying the frame/slide material. If so "C" stands for Carbon as in Carbon Steel.

    I would either:

    A: Colt Commander + modifications
    B: Baer Commanche + modifications
    C: Dan Wesson CCO

    I'd hunt down a used Ed Brown... I saw one recently in local store for $1200. If you're gonna beat on it anyhow, I'd buy it used and run it.

    Look at the STI Guardian. If you can get past the styling and the 3.9" barrel, STI makes a good gun and the Guardian is all steel.

    Saw where Talo will have a Wiley Clapp CCO at the SHOT Show this year, hopefully it will make it to the streets. It would almost fit your bill except being a lightweight frame I am sure. I'll also recommend a Les Baer Stinger or STI Guardian both are great CCO's and if shopping around can be found in your price range especially the STI. Here is a picture of the Colt CCO done by TALO.

    This may be worth a look:

    http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php?version=32

    I know it doesn't have all the features you listed (beavertails and steel frame), and its obviously not in the same tier as many of the other models mentioned.

    Good news is that with the several hundred to nearly a thousand dollars you might save, you have some budget for upgrades, leather, and brass.

    I'm no brand shill or fanboy, but I do own the older version of this model and carry it during the summer months. It's comfortable IWB, not too heavy, shoots well, and has been 100% reliable for me. YMMV. Good luck.
