A used Taurus is a good way to go, or a Para Ordnance. I would have preferred a Para myself, but I got such a good deal on the Taurus I couldn't pass it up, and I'm not too sure if the double stack Paras would fit my hands really well in .45. My one complaint is the original ambi safety was worn out, and fell out of the weapon on a camping trip, rendering it completely unsafe. Cost me 70 bucks to replace the part with something that wouldn't get lost. Really accurate shooter though, and I really like the Heinie Double dot sights, just stack the white dots and pull the trigger.
