1911, 1911, 1911.

An XD .45 ACP compact that get's 865fps ? No way. I'll chrono that 3 inch and show anybody that cares to know that your only getting maybe 650-700fps.

Just because the box say's it does not mean your getting it. It's alway's out of a 5" barrel that those velocities are chrono'd

I've only owned two .45's. The first, a Glock 36, I did not care for at all. Not a bad gun, but I just didn't like the way it shot for me. The second, an XD45 Tactical, I love. Never a problem (for the guy who watched someone with an XD40 have several problems) and nicely balanced with the 13 round magazine.

I definitely wouldn't mind owning a Sig 220 Combat and an XDm 45.

+1 I hear ya. I only have one Kimber, but I vote for it three times!leasantry:

 

[wolfhunter]

I love my Charles Daly 1911 full-size and ParaOrd Warthawg. For a third .45, I'd have to give the nod to Para's Hi-Cap Limited .45. Their Light Double Action trigger is SMOOOTH.

 

[THE DUKE OF ESSEX]

Kimber Ultra CDP II, Taurus PT 1911, Colt 70 series combat commander. But the new Remington R1 looks good and I'll have to buy one of those soon.

[jtg452]

1. SAA 45 Long Colt
2. HK MK. 23
3. Colt 1911

Strange you mentioned the SAA in .45 Colt. I've got a Uberti clone that's a .45 Colt/.45ACP convertible.:biggrin: I'd forgotten all about it having a .45ACP cylinder until I saw your post.

Now I gotta clean out the safe until I find that cylinder.:fie:

 

[groundboss]

Love my Colt Stainless 1911 Gold Cup National Match ! Fits my hand, Shoots a tight group, and with common sense maintenance NO problems...Colts need to be clean and quality mags used.

 

[mappow]

Sorry guys/gals but all this talk about 1911A1's get me all excited inside. Pardon me while I catch my breath:laugh:

 

[6shootercarry]

My M&P45 is a smooth shooter and makes tight groups. I can carry it in the SuperTuck...

I like my Stainless Colt Officer's ACP for carry. With a 3.5" barrel it still groups good at 50ft...

Peace...

Full-sized 1911, Commander-sized 1911, compact 1911.

[Fighto2010]

I carry daily a XD45 acp compact - I also carry two spare mags - with extensions 16rd each (Hollow points).
I used to work on the 1911 Colts in the military and most were junk -- Wore out from use -- had to rebuild from scratch 61 of them. I tried Glock and Kimber but love the Springfield - installed a trigger kit and a weaver mounted Laser - Have shot over
2000 rounds with out a hitch. Only other that I would consider carrying is the new XDm 40 -- Shot my best friends the other
day at the range - Very smooth and accurate. I did not think I would like it, but now a convert, plus the fact that the ammo is
cheaper.

 

[CDW4ME]

My initial post is no longer accurate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things have changed since I started this thread

I sold the Kahr PM45 and the XD45. I still have the Glock 38, but don't carry it.

Update

My favorite 45 pistols are (all obtained since this thread started):
-Kimber Ultra Carry II stainless TLE, most concealable of the 3, used in Smartcarry or IWB "appendix carry"
-Kimber CDP Compact, 3:00 strong side IWB
-Colt XSE Lightweight Commander with XS Big Dot night sights, 3:00 strong side IWB and for HD.

As you can see, various sizes of 1911 models have taken over.
