Favorite Polymer 45 acp?

MOD 2 .45 all day long! 2nd choice would be Walther PPQ .45. PHENOMENAL trigger! Best straight out of the box trigger of any pistol I've ever had. Shortest reset, too. Accidental double taps are to be expected until you learn the trigger.

Two answers:
hk usp 45 full sized (don't like the feel of the hk45 in hand)
m&p shield 45 compact (grip feels really good for some reason, trigger great)
 
My gen 1.0 S&W M&P full size with the Apex duty kit and SIG P320 full are pretty impressive for Tupperware striker fired 45's. They are both superbly accurate and reliable.
 
S&W M&P 2.0 is my preference, it's what I suggest you seriously consider. If you want a Glock, I like the G30. I also had a couple
HK USP that I liked.
 
A few years ago, I went over to the "dark side". I exchanged my colt defender for a Glock 36.
I also aquired a G21 SF for a night stand gun. With a streamlight, laser, and 14 rds of 230gr hydro shocks, it's a comfort.
Glocks are like being in love with Paula Dean, Not a great looker, but boy can she cook!
 
Glad to see votes for H&K. Really like my HK 45C. I have shot it well in IDPA and the SA/DA trigger doesn't bother me a bit. The 45C has relatively tame recoil and 8+1 capacity is fine for me.

I liked the 30 with the peace mag base to complete the grip purchase without adding extra size, but for bone stock its the 21.
 
Between us my FiL and I have a bunch of polymer service pistols. My Tanfoglio/EAA Witnesses are my favorites, but my FiL's full-sized Glock is close. I wish the 45acp Glocks were a little less expensive. I almost got a 40 caliber one for $250 recently, and will probably buy one as soon as I see another nice one for that price. IIRC, the 45's go for something like $100 more than that.
 
My favorite polymer defense pistols are:

M&P40
P320 40 Full Size
M&P40C

Glocks are ok pistols, but my preferred defense caliber is .40S&W. And Glock forties are comparatively harsh-shooting.

The M&P40, P320 40, PPQ 40, and VP40 are all very soft-shooting and quite enjoyable to shoot, as compared to the G23, G27, and G22.
 
I’d have to say M&P45 or P320 45 are my favorites in .45auto. HK45 is a great option, as well.

But 10+1, vs. the Glock 21’s 13+1 is hard to ignore. :rolleyes:

G21SF is my night stand pistol. They’re excellent pistols.
 
M&P FS 45.

Gen 3 G21-SF. I have other polymers I carry occasionally but, when I have to go to town, the G21 with a spare mag makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
