I want to get a new 40 pistol, but really want SAO. I know sig makes the X5 in SAO but its extremely high priced, and Springfield makes the EMP in 40, but I want a full size pistol. What other options are out therE?

STI makes a number of 1911s in .40

The Springfield XD and XD(M) are single action only pistols. They are fully cocked on loading and the trigger press simply fires the gun.

The Hi-Power comes in .40 S&W.

EAA Witness (Tanfoglio) Elite Match and above are single action only. I have an Elite Match chambered in .40. It has a very nice trigger for an over-the-counter pistol.

M&P is also single action only as the striker is fully cocked. Not exactly a 1911 quality trigger though.

 

[MrVvrroomm]

I believe the original poster's question was looking for a nice crisp SAO. You'll not get that with any striker fired pistol.

I need to read next time lol

The FNX can be carried cocked and locked so there's no reason to ever fire it in DA.

CZ 75 SA and the H&K USP can easily be converted.

I had a Firestar made by Star that was a small .40 that looked a lot like a small 1911. Good trigger.

I need to learn more about the hi power. I am intrigued. Plus, i desire SAO, true SAO

I've got a Beretta 96 Steel I that's SAO.

Hi Powers are great guns. I have a few in 9mm.

I heard they quit making the BHP in 40.

They generally do not have a very good trigger out of the box, but I use a bone stock MK-III in IDPA and the trigger is plenty good for that kind of stuff.

Nice. You don't see those everyday. I like the safety on those compared to other Berettas.

You can get the SIG P250 in .40 sw SAO. I have the P250 and have the caliber exchanges for .40, 9mm, and .45 acp. It has been a great gun for me. You can get the .40 for about $369 right now.

 

[ColdBlooded]

+1 for the P226 X-5

 

[matt c]

USP can be run cocked and locked...IE SA mode.

I though Sig 250 come in DAO. Since when they made SAO? :dunno:

I imagine that would be perfect
