You might want to take a look at a Ruger 22/45 pistol. Ergonomics are very similar to the 1911. The ammo savings from using the .22 vs. the .45 for most of your practice/plinking will save the cost of pistol pretty quickly.

I would like to get a pistol that I can change from .22 to .45 and back.
One caliber for pot hunting and one for defense.
Just can't afford it right now.

But thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look see.
