Because of low levels of funding, My current favorite is the Ruger P97DC. I have had about every 45 there is including the Sig, colt Springfield and Star. Through all kinds of ammo types and level of loads, nothing has ever been more reliable and had better function than the Ruger. Its not pretty its not as smooth and the trigger is not great but all in all it gets the job done everytime I pick it up. Thats all I can ask.
