Keep in mind, I can already conceal sidearms, when I say CC I mean, carry it, but not overtly, not as in, perfectly in secret. So I don't mind if it bulges a bit. Plus, what about a snub nose revolver? That shouldn't be too hard to conceal last I checked. But its been awhile since I've shot a .45.

.45 is a semiauto caliber, not a revolver caliber, so I'm not sure how the 'snub nose revolver' comes into play. Snub nose revolvers are typically either .38 special or .357--the latter is the closer equivalent in terms of power, .38 is more like 9mm.
If price is a concern, you can definitely get into a .45 caliber for cheaper than a snub nose .357. Look on backpage.com, there are constantly local firearms listed for private sale, and I saw a couple compact frame 1911's on there the other day.
Your best deal is going to be the arizonashooting.com classifieds, but you can't get access to those without a minimum post count, and if you were already active there, you'd already know that.
