whats your favorite 45? (non-1911)

[Revolver Ocelot]

looking for some suggestions on a good combat 45.

 

[Coltman 77]

Sig P220.

I really like my Sig P220. I bought the .22 kit from Bud's when they had it on sale, then sent in for the .45 slide. It's never given me any problems, but I've only put a few hundred rounds of .45 through it so far. I've put several bricks of .22 through it, though. That conversion is a great idea.

They come in other kinds? Why?

They come in other kinds? Why?

I wonder.....

Sig 220

S&w 1917.

My favorite is my XD45. No question it is a great gun in that it is dependable as gravity, is accurate and does everything that it is supposed to do very well.

That said, no matter how fantastic plastic is, there is not the joy of ownership like a 1911.

I've just completed the obligatory 200 round break-in of my Kahr TP45 without a single issue. I guess that I would be being unfaithful to my new constant companion if I said anything else.

Since the 1911 isn't included, I'm going to vote for the XD .45 Service model. Sure, it's polymer (and I generally prefer all steel guns for full sized pistols)....but it has a similar grip angle to the 1911 and a grip safety too. Mine proved to be extremely reliable and accurate.

Sig P220 followed by the XD45ACP...The Sig shoots better, handles better and looks better, but the XD is more resilient, still shoots and handles very well and is a helluva lot less expensive. Either way, both are top notch weapons IMHO.

S&W 3rd-gen--4506, etc.

Probably the most durable semiautos ever built.

#2: SA-XD 45 ACP

 

[ohioshooter]

Tatical .45 Springfield XD and my H&K USP .45

Check out the S&M M&P .45. Mine is a tack driver, with not a jam yet.

No finer combat 45 made today.

 

[Clarence]

Sig 220

 

[Plan-B]

USP. Big, bad, unashamed and all business. About as attractive as an armored truck and just as tough as one.

 

[c919]

Currently, I'd have to say that title goes to my M&P45c. She's one reliable and accurate hunk of polymer and metal.

 

[DC3-CVN-72]

W. German SIG. 220 circa 1990.

Check out the S&M

a friend of mine has a IWI baby eagle in .45ACP and its pretty nice
very accurate comfortable and all steel

on the other hand another friend has an XD in .45ACP and its pretty nice as well shoots pretty darn good from what ive seen him do with it

i of course am going the old fashioned route and trying to pick out a nice 1911

 

[Noveldoc]

Luv my Smith 4506. A bit heavy but dead accurate and totally reliable.

[silversport]

GLOCK 21SF...SiG Sauer P220...

There are many fine choices today, but I personally like the HK USP series.
