I think the BEST defensive carry .45 under $800 is the Glock 30. It is fat and ugly, but somehow everyone still shoots it great. It is %100 reliable, and one of the most accurate .45's ever made. You will be amazed at it's accuracy potential and how well you shoot it.
The Glock 30 is ugly, and I revel in it's ugliness! I named mine "Hooch", because it is my Big Dawg, and it is ugly but lovable like a defensive weapon should be
On another note, my buddies and I have had outstanding service from our CZ-75's, which has given me faith in the company. CZ has the CZ-97 out now which is getting rave reviews. They go for $495. I would keep it in mind, although I have never even handled one (like I said, I have faith in CZ, coupled with the reviews, it has to be a great gun).
Oh...but if I had $900...the Gunsite GSP 200 is calling me. But alas, that is out of both of our price ranges right now
good luck,

I have two Colts 1911's now that have gave me years of great service. Only one had a reliability problem, and it was fixed by buying some Wilson mags. Other than that, they have been flawless.
