I guess that it all depends on what you are going to use the pistol for, but I would not discount the Glock 36, as it is in the middle of what you have previously posted. It doesn't hold a lot of ammo, since it is single stack, but it is a .45ACP, feels good in the hand and a is very good personal protection weapon. I own the G36 and it is everything that I need it to be. Personally, I would have kept the Ed Brown 1911.
