Ruger P90. My favorite 45. It will out perform my high end 1911's and eat any of my different reloads. it is just as reliable as a Glock 17 which I also own. I'm a huge Glock fan but this P90 is just awesome. It is heavy and fat but RELIABLE. Made in the 90's and still running like a well oiled sewing machine. The best of Ruger's semi-autos in my opinion.

I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen a picture of my favorite .45 ACP pistol yet-the fabulous Smith & Wesson Model 945! Yes, I have one :) but, no, I'm not smart enough to print a photo of it. :(
 
I like my 1911's, but right now my favorite .45 is my Glock 30SF. I just finished 2000 rounds with very little cleaning and it ran 100%. It was supposed to be no cleaning, but my son accidentally wiped down the slide, barrel and frame. Any ways, it shot great the entire time and never bobbled. It is the right size for carrying, accurate and surprisingly easy to shoot. I have pretty big hands and the 10 round magazines make it a good fit for my hand.

The glock 30 is special. Mine, like yours is an sf. I may be mistaken but yours looks to have TFO sights? Thats what's on mine, funny. I've had mine since November 2012 , first glock and probably the last gun I would ever sell. Nice.
 
Too lazy to take a photo of it but it’s a Glock 30 (everyone knows what it looks like). So easy to shoot well. Close second is a Weggie 220.
 
I got this Colt Gold cup from a friend/dealer of mine for way tooo cheap back in the early/mid eighties. It was from the Colt custom shop and I have shot the heck out of it and is definitely a favorite! I love this gun and the factory electroless finish! he grips were from a custom Knifemaker I know- Darrel Ralph... awesome grips

The Valor has returned for 2020 with some changes. Things like a Stan Chen SI mag well have been added.

I was really excited for about ten seconds before I clicked that link and saw the trigger and grips on that Valor. :scrutiny: Someone at Dan Wesson must have been smoking something to take one of the cleanest, most aesthetically pleasing 1911s and turn it into that.
 
I have 2 1911's. I shoot the Sig "better" yet I find I enjoy the SA-A1 more for some reason. The trigger is heavier, creeps and it doesn't cycle quite as smooth-fluid as the Sig. Probably because of the rougher feel it challenges to be more conscious when out practicing. That translates to my shooting the Sig better.

Both of this things would take about 5 minutes to swap out. Just saying.
