.45 recommendations

View · by **skipper90** on Tue Jan 20, 2015 9:12 am

Have been shooting a 9mm (Glock 19) and a .40 cal XDM for several years. Am considering a .45, not for concealed carry or competition. Any recommendations?

The only right answer = 1911.

+1 No, really if you buy one 1911 you will buy more 1911's.

One 1911? Is that even possible?

I've got 5 and still think I'm missing 1 or 2.

Since you're familiar with the XDm platform in .40, just get the XDm in .45. I have one and love it! While not a 1911 it is tops for a polymer pistol...eats anything with no failures of any kind.

So the only right answer = 1911s!

He said 'a' so 1911 is correct. Once the seed is planned then the answer going forward is more 1911s.

If not for carry...

45Colt or 45-70? You DID ask for 45. >;~}

Just because for some reason, I feel the need to be snarky at the 1911 people, I hear HK makes a nice .45...and it goes bang every time you pull the trigger...

Buds guns carries a very good quality 45 for low buck for the bang. SAR K2 45. 14+1 CZ clone made in Turkey. Bought one for $355 but they've crept up a bit. It's replacing a CZ 97B.

I like a fuller grip of a double stack, and the round count doesn't hurt a bit. Sort of like a Beretta 92 grip but with CZ ergos.

Just a thought.

Early 20th century Webley converted from Brittish .455 to .45 ACP with full moonclips is my favorite. S&W 625 if you have to go all modern...
