Favorite Polymer 45 acp?

FNX 45T here too. I run an RMR and when shooting it people can't believe how effortless it is to shoot accurately. I also have to say, it's the quietest, suppressed (YHM .45) .45 I've ever used; not much more than a suppressed .22. The added weight of the can makes it VERY stable.

I got an early one, and there were no holsters for it rigged with an RMR. I had to order a custom made kydex one that was cut for it. I'm sure there are more options now. I'm too lazy to deal with carrying that hog. It's an end of the world side arm for me.
 
I sold a HK USP 45c- trigger didn't feel right and couldn't hit what I wanted.

I later sold a S&W M&P 45. I loved the fit/feel in my hand, but I like steel more.

I have a Glock G30sf. I like the feel of the M&P more, but I have conversion barrels for the G30, so I can shoot .45acp, 10mm, .40s&w and .22lr. Hard to argue with the versatility and size.


However, I would sell that before I sell my Ruger P97.

Yes, I know. Ugly and weird recoil impulse, plus it only holds 8 rounds [like a Sig P220, btw].

HOWEVER, I am more accurate with it than I am with all but 2 of my .45acp handguns [both tuned 1911s]. And it has never hinted at a feed issue/ejection/firing issue in thousands of rounds.

It isn't worth much on the market, but I am confident in my ability to save my life.

Oh, and it gave me group sizes 1/2 the size of the HK when I compared them- and that was having not shot it in 7 years, vs having shot the HK for about 600 rounds over the previous year.


So- Polymer .45 favorite? Probably going to be contrary and go with Ruger P97DC.;)
 
An XD45 Compact and a grip-chopped Kahr TP45. 10 or 13 +1 in the XD, 6 or 7+1 in the TP45. I'll give the nod to the XD45C, but the TP45 carries easier.
 
XD .45 SUBcompact. Kicks less than my Ruger American Compact and also the G 30. Springfield/HS knows how to handle recoil. Handy size too.
