Show Off Your 45acp

It's a Star PD from the 1970's. I bought a well-used one in 1992 as my first compact CCW when I turned 21, sold it a couple of years later. Found this pristine example in a pawn shop recently.
There’s more from where that came fromYou're going to make @Mark_Mark jealous

Rock Island Ultra and CZ -97B
I've only ever owned two 45 ACP guns, but I like the round quite a bit. I had the 1911 for several years, enjoyed shooting it, then got the 97B and ended up selling the 1911 partly because I wasn't shooting it anymore, and partly to justify getting another gun during a self-imposed buy-one, sell-one period. I love the 97B, it's possibly my favorite centerfire semi-auto out of all I've owned or fired, but I probably should have also kept the 1911 just because it's a 1911.
I believe you are correct.
And also, he made a copy of one with his own cool enhancements.

My only 1911 is a .45 ACP.

Oh wow, somehow I thought this was a .45 ACP 1911 thread, but now I see it is any .45 ACP, so I must post this gem, a S&W .45 ACP Chief's Special.

And so I could not help myself when i saw this Sig P220R with factory trigger upgrade, all new springs, and night sights. This has to be the easiest pistol to field strip too. Picked it up this morning. Haven't shot it yet.Yeah, no discrimination here

Took my S&W Shield 2.0 45acp to the range today and I still find it barely acceptable accuracy and consistency. Back in the safe it goes.

How about one that's over 100 years old? 1917 S&W born in 1918.

So I walked into the gun shop today, wasn't planning to, though I had stuffed 4 $100 bills in my wallet last week thinking I might run across a gun somewhere. Anyway, I am a sucker for .45 ACP metal frame pistols, so this one came up on a consignment sale. They were firm on the price but it was a great deal. Only one magazine, and they gave me a cheap ($9 on Amazon) plastic case, which does the job anyway. But there was no way I was walking out on this deal. It passed the firing pin pencil test and I ran a mag full of dummies through and they all cycled fine. It shows some wear but everything seems in good order. Ambi de-cocker and no safety. Who needs a safety on a DA/SA anyway. Not me.

Reading the manual for the P90DC and see a nice feature. Unlike a 1911, you can load a single round direct in the chamber. I think the magazine is supposed to be out to do it, but just stick it in the chamber and drop the slide. The ejector has a ramp on the front that makes it engage the round without causing damage.
I just realized I now have 5 45s!

Outside the revolver department, I only have two 9mms and two .32 ACPs. Definitely biased towards 45s!
