I occasionally carry a Sig P220 Compact with the 8 round extension. I have both DA/SA and SAO versions, carry the SAO and they are wonderful shooters - although a bit heavy. | |||

Just bought one myself. Smith Wesson MP compact, with manual safety. 4 inch barrel, 10rd magazine. Only thing I did was replace the sights with ameriglos. | |||

stop worrying about a manual safety....and you have a host of options. | |||

Absolute truth here. Look no further. | |||

I also prefer the 1911 CCO sized pistol for this requirement. I built my own as I am in California, and the CCO is not generally on the list. Sigs and Non-Sigs: I enjoy having options! | |||

My EDC gun is a Shield .45, and it works great for my needs. I just got a Sig 365 for summertime carry, but in the winter I'll probably go back to the Shield. Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago. | |||

I have an HK 45C that I sent to Rick Holm at Lazy Wolf for an action job, and it is fantastic. It is my home defense choice. Excellent suppressor host as well | |||

What constitutes a safety? A physical safety switch like a 1911 pattern gun? Internal safeties like a classic Sig? If easy, safe, and covert concealed carry is the goal, the best safety is between the ears. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

You could always try and find the somewhat limited edition P220SAO Compact. Worth the hunt!  "I'm not fluent in the language of violence, but I know enough to get around in places where it's spoken." | |||

I CC an HK USP 45C. Kramer made me a great holster for it, and at 5 oclock it just goes away. It has a safety, but I never use it. The hammer drop and 1st shot DA is a lot safer. Weight can be a problem. Weigh the various models LOADED. There is where the HK's polymer frame shines. Lighter than a loaded 239-357, or P228, or P220 Carry. Those stainless slides are heavy. | |||

I CC a HK 45C in a Kramer AIWB holster. I am waiting for one for my HK P30 SKS. It should be here any day. These holsters are great. | |||

This is my only compact 45. I don’t carry it, but it is a nice shooter.  | |||

P245. Try one, you might like it! I bought mine used, the DA trigger was one of the worst I have ever shot. A quick trip to Robert "The SIG Armorer" Burke turned it into an outstanding pistol. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Gents, I'm a big fan of Sigs, but my bid for a compact .45, after all my years, goes to a Commander or Combat Commander. I've carried this one over 20 years and it's gotten me out of one very tough spot. It doesn't get any better than that...  Wes | |||

I echo the CCO recommendation. Here's my Dan Wesson CCO "brace":  But if you'd rather have the standard length grip, here's my Dan Wesson CBOB (bobbed commander):   Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!
