Just remember that the powder charge for a 45acp will be very small in the case -- 5.1 grains of Winchester 231 is what I use and you could literally put 20 grains in the case without a problem and cause a overpressure reaction in the barrel which is a very bad thing.
So:
Go Slow (for now)...
CZ 75 has the Kadet kit (about $300) that replaces the slide of the CZ 75 (and a few other models).
With the Kadet slide installed the weight is minumally changed -- really can not tell the difference.
Shoots great -- Highly recommended.
EAA (CZ Clone/Copy/etc) has a kit that you get both...
I have the
Leatherman EOD Tool -- Got from Army contact -- Great tool but expensive -- the EOD specific parts can be replace with AR tools
Gerber -- Good tool that is cheaper --China Mfg -- Good to have but would not expect it to stand up to abuse
Buck -- I have had for about 20 years --...
I use with good success -- I purchased a couple of Home Depot plastic buckets with lids for storing -- Cheap and sturdy.
The only issue I have is it produces dust that will go everywhere if the lid on the vibrator is open or when you open the lid without letting the dust settle.

I reload 45acp on a Dillon 550B -- You can get one for about $450 delivered I think
-- Great Machine with a great company standing behind it and the 550 can also be used for rifle which saved me on 223 reloads and maybe 308/30-06 down the road
Dies -- I use Lee on it without a problem for...
Don't forget the free T-Shirt with $50 order (I think) -- order Rock River LPK and A2 stock for a build and got a free shirt -- alot of shirt to choose from also.

I have always considered a 556 -- espcially when they were just below $1000 a couple of years ago.
If you can -- How is the accuracy compared to an AR -- any input would be great.

I use grease on the outside of the bolt but Synthetic Mobile 1 on the inside of the bolt.
The grease stays where I want it while in storage -- but I like the oil on the internal parts

I have 4 CZ -- 85 Combat, 97, and two CZ P07 -- great gun and great company to deal with. They replaced one of my P07 without discussion when the mags would not drop free.
The 75 is a great gun -- but a full size pistol and would be hard to conceal -- but doable.
The same design is offered...
I have shot the Sig 238 -- nice gun, well designed -- Simple and effective.
I owned a S&W PPK/S -- Great look but alot of small parts, S&W replaced a spring that flew and hid in the basement for free (and shipped for free) -- Would get another at the right price. The design give the pistol...
I have a Colt XSE -- Blued -- Great Gun but hard to find.
Right now I would look for a Springfield Armory Range Officer -- I think they for for about $700 -- Has alot of great features and SA is good to deal with.
Have money left over for ammo and assessories.

I had one for a while -- Charles Daly version -- I like the pistol but it shot low and right and could not figure out how to repair or move sights to get it to shoot point of aim
CDNN has holsters -- Jericho Holsters -- but when I had mine I got a holster of Israel -- was not cheap.
