    Don't have one but I have shot my friends a fair amount, stock trigger needs attention but a cool gun. Expensive mags last I knew! https://hk-usa.com/hk-models/hk45/
    And then there is this,,, I'm a CZ guy so I'm partial a bit. They make a Safety Model: https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-97-b-4...ht-10-rd-mags/
    And they make a decocker model! https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-97-bd-...ts-10-rd-mags/ I have shot a 97B a fair amount and its very accurate and a darn good shooting gun. Mags are more reasonable than the HK.

    All the rest are just good ole Striker guns,,, great in their own right but not as "cool" as the guns above in my opinion! Glock/M&P/Walter, etc, I'm sure there are a few others.

    The HKP9 (in 45-Auto) is a bit of a unicorn but you wanted cool.

    MP 45 fullsize thumb safety is a fantastic pistol. Accurate and reliable.

    I thought about that. My EDC is the same gun in 9mm so it would make sense. On the other hand, I might want something different. Decisions, decisions.

    And I shoot nothing but hardcast handloads in .45 so that might rule out polygonal rifling like Glock, HK.

    I have several M&P .45s and they are very good handguns. I bought mine when the flood of police trade ins were available maybe 3-4 years ago? They were friggen CHEAP, $300......Magazines could be had for $10 at one point too....I have shot mine quite a bit- mainly with cast bullet reloads and they shoot well and are reliable pistols. Many, many years ago I had a pair of Glock 21's- sent them out to Robar and had the grips cut down etc....They were still too big, not a problem with the M&P. They really are a modern service pistol design that adapted well to the .45 cartridge.
    The truth can only offend those who live a lie.
