When I was on one of my kicks to diversify my EDC rotation (currently only my Model 457, as has been for decades), I HAD to have a SA .45 XDE. It was damn hard to find one. I finally ordered one from Sportsmans. I got it, cleaned it, put 200 rounds through it, cleaned it, and carried it for one day. The hammer sucked. It dug into my fat all day long. I took it to a local gunsmith to see if he could do anything with the hammer to make it less sharp. He told me nothing "off the shelf" was available and the pistol wasn't worth what he'd charge me to make it right. My regular FFL gave me a good trade in value for it. The whole ordeal meade me pretty sad as it shot well, was the right size, and felt natural in my hand.
