Ok, suppose I wanted a Single stack .45 so it was thin. SA/DA so I don't have to worry about amby safety. I also prefer the metal frame rather than Polymer. What would be options. Something about the overall size of my Baby Eagle Compact but in .45acp ...
I love making wish list in here!

+1 for KennyLee & P220. That is still a little thicker that your BE I beleive. It is utterly reliable. Points good for me. There my be some other suggestions but you if it says Sig you can't mess up.

I have not held one yet, I do like my P-226. I'll find one at the next gun show.

The 220 is a great gun. I just sold one, but only because I prefer the 1911 configuration.

I'll go one further and recommend the P220DAK. No need to remember to decock using a lever that's not designed for lefties. The "K" trigger is NOT the same as traditional DAO triggers and is a far cry from SIGs own DAO variants of the past. Drop by Top Gun, they've got three DAK models in the rental fleet. You may decide you hate it, but it's at least worth a look if you've never tried it.
