Looking for a 45 acp semi auto rifle option. Sr45 looks decent, any other suggestions?

Sadly no others. Even bolt action is pretty limited, unless you have a converted Lee Enfield that takes 1911 mags.  

So I'd grab the SR45. Really rhe only option right now.

I wish the SR-45 didn’t have such an unbelievably heavy trigger.

I don’t have a pull gauge but I’d almost like to pick one up just to find out. Double action is kinda difficult. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever squeezed. 20 pounds just to put some random number on it (I have no idea, no reference, but damn it’s stiff)

Yeah single action is beautiful .. that’s pretty much how I shoot mine. Price of .45 colt I savour it anyway lol

Cocking the hammer is not difficult. I’ve shot other guns with stiffer hammers than this one. If you don’t mind shooting single action then it’s definitely a normal experience. Another thing to consider is that my sample is from the first batch in Canada. The ones up for sale right now are second batch, so perhaps it will be smoother!
