Beretta 90two

Another one that quietly stands up as a great gun is Sig 220.

+1

And if you want higher cap the SIG 226 is also EXCELLENT. Neither has any levers to put it into acition and accuracy is top notch.

Maybe I missed something, but why are you giving up on the .45acp and going with the .40?

There's a whole host of "safe action", .45s out there.   I like the XD and XDM line.  But aren't there also ones by Glock, S&W and others?

I owned a 92 and it just seemed rather "bulky" in my hand.

One reason was magazine capacity and the other was caliber choices in some of the guns.

Felt recoil between a .40 S&W and .45 acp is minimal.  If you look at muzzle velocity they are very similar, but the .40 bleeds off quickly. 

I am trying to balance fit, features and available calibers.  In a perfect world it would be between .45 and 9, but I see that manufacturers seem to be downsizing.  Not as many .45's available.  Is it marketing to the "gangbanger" idea that 9mm is deadly and cool, is it capitalizing on cops shooting .40, or is it that our current society either doesn't understand the .45 or can't handle the power?  I don't know, but I am used to being known as the guy that figures out what he wants, stands pretty firm, and is usually in the minority.  Some dealers love to work with me, and others absolutely hate dealing with me.  And there are those that don't really understand anything other than popular views and marketing meetings and can't figure out why I never come back when they tell me I don't understand what I'm looking for.

One gun that I have looked at that intrigues me is the SigSauer P250.  I have even started looking at a Glock.  You know that when looking at guns you always need to consider support - S&W you end up with Jerry or Julie; Sig there is Max Michel; but with Glock there is Jessie    Ooooops, sex selling guns is another thread isn't it

I also like the SIGpro 2022 in .40sw. Out here I ve seen them for about $429.00.  If you look at the Turners Outdoorsman ad here in Norwalk the Sigpro 9mm is $399.99. I have shot the Sig and like more than my G22. SIG makes a great gun and I carried one into Mexico in .357sig.
