Default Need some opinions on guns

This is going to be annoying for some, but bear with me.

I'm in the market for a new carry gun. I currently have a Keltec PF9, which I do like, but I'd like to go larger in caliber. Ideally, I'd like to go .45, but I'd consider a .40 if the gun is right.

There's a certain criteria that I don't wish to stray too far from, which may make the choices difficult:

- The narrower the gun, the better. I've been spoiled by the diminutive size of the Keltec.

- Under $700 if possible.

- No revolvers. Sorry, not what I'm looking for. I appreciate them for what they are, but it's not what I'm looking to carry.

- No Glocks. I have nothing against them. I know they're reliable as shit and there are a buttload of people who swear by them. I loath the grips and have yet to shoot one that doesn't feel wrong in my hands. I'm not a Glock person.

- No 9mm. Have one already.

Sorry for being a picky asshole about it, but thems the breaks.

Guns I've been looking at:

- Various compact 1911's (Para Slim Hawg looks nice, though kinda pricey)
- EAA Witness P Carry. Haven't seen one in person. Opinions?
- Walther PPS
- Taurus PT745
- HK P2000
- HK USP 45c

Those are a few. I'm open to other suggestions, all opinions, and what have you. Thank you in advance.

Do you drive a truck or an SUV? If so I'd definitely recommend a mounted minigun.

What holster would you recommend for such a selection?

No seriously, I assumed you already had a 1911. If you don't, then the answer is obvious. I personally carry a Taurus 1911...but I like 'em all.

No 1911 yet. I'd love one, I just don't know if I want to carry one. There's a voice in my head (one of many) that says full size 1911 or no 1911. If I got a full size, I don't think I'd carry it. I currently have a Keltec PF9 to carry and an XD45 for home and range shooting.

Hell yes full size. Its a very slender handgun, easy to carry a full size 1911...even in a Texas summer.
