Favorite 45

[chris in va]

I've only had one 45, an older Sig 220. Not my favorite gun, rather hard to shoot accurately actually. I much preferred a Kimber someone let me shoot at the range.

I have two.....a '97 Kimber Classic Stainless LE, and a Springfield G.I. Mirco Compact. The Springer is the carry gun, while the Kimber is for play. Choosing only one (from the ones I own, wouldn't buy a new Kimber), the Kimber wins easily...............but I didn't have to choose

1911, various brands. I'm partial to Ed Brown and Wilson Combat though.

 

[SIGSHR]

My AMT Hardballer. (Yes, I know) Mine always worked for me, won a few matches with it.

Series 70 Gold Cup

 

[GeauxTide]

Ruger SS Bisley 45LC. 275gr LFN @1050.

The Springfield Armory XD-45 and the Glock 21SF are my two favorites. I also have a S&W 4506 that is a great gun.
I'm not one for the 1911 style of .45.

I have a 1917 Colt with two cylinders (.45 ACP, .45 LC) which is fun, but the 1911 has to be the gun in whatever iteration you choose. I would like to try the Sig though.

 

[Single Six]

Ruger P-90. Didn't break the bank to buy it,conceals well for me and most importantly,it's stone cold reliable.

 

[FishEngineer]

Sig P220 made in W Germany.

 

[model18]

my only .45...........a Colt Combat Elite

 

[Ops Officer]

My favorite is a S&W Model 625 Performance Center Jerry Miculek followed by a S&W Model 25. Then, I would say several auto loaders I have would be tough to choose as my favorite, e. g., H&K45 Expert SIG P220 stainless, SIG P245, and XD-45 Tactical.

glock 21sf with high cap. mag. (25 rounds)

 

[bigredfish]

My Sig P220 Stainless Elite. Amazingly easy to shoot and accurate as any handgun I've ever owned. Perty too

 

[biohazurd]

Colt 1991 slightly modified by yours truly...

 

[pythagorean]

At about 5 o'clock below the Kimber Raptor is the Colt 01918. The Colt is by far my favorite .45 ACP.

Easy Choice!!!

My G36!!

It's usual spot is in the front pocket of my tactical pants.

It's not tacticool, no lights, lasers, or other hang-on's just a minus connector inside, Trigicon night sights, and rubber Decal Grips on the outside.But it does alright by me!!

Been lurking for a while and decided to my 1st post should be in response to 'Favorite 45'. This is my custom G20/21L. It started as a G21 and 6 years ago I got a custom German steel 6"slide and Jarvis 6" 45acp barrel.

A few months later, after some development extractor testing, I had Kevin at KKM develop a 45-10MM conversion barrel for it.

A couple of years ago I decided to bring it to a USPSA 'Limited' configuration and hardchromed the slide just for the heck of it.

I still shoot mostly 45s from it and I have a great little 230grn Gold Dot load at 1,024fps that is great fun to shoot. The longer barrel allows for slower burning powders to increase the velocities and because it's 4¾ oz heavier, the recoil, even with hot 10mms, is very tame.
