I'm trying to steer you clear of some weapon like a hi point or S&W Sigma. Both are okay guns that go bang, but if you can accept a used weapon, a used Glock would be a better choice at that price point.

You can also find some cheaper, Philippine made 1911s (in .45ACP that you love so much) for around $400s. Try to shoot them before you buy--as some 1911s may be finicky.

*ETA*

- Ergos are important yes, but there are a lot of other things like reliability, recoil control, accessory support (holsters), safeties, etc. I would not say the most important thing is how a weapon feels. What's most important is that you take that gun, go to a training school with it, and become proficient with it.
