What's your favorite 45? and why?

[NYrican]

Springfield 1911 hands-down. Only thing better would be 2 of 'em.

 

[ORHunter79]

Well will be........once the wife let's me buy it.

 

[ORHunter79]

OR this one.

1911 Master Engraved Colt 100th Anniv. Edition : Commemoratives at GunBroker.com

 

[trapshooter]

Look at the STI Escort..Weights in @ 22.8 oz..New $1000.00..Shoots great

 

[Stomper]

I have an Ithaca 1911A1 National Matched out (fine for the range), a Taurus PT145 (works great and is my back up CCW), and my Glock-30 which is my absolute favorite... damned near a tack driver, and my primary CCW.

Couple of years ago I bought a Taurus 24/7 oss ds in 45 caliber after reading about how bad they are I bought a Taurus PT 145 so when I got to send one or the other back to the factory for repair I would still have a gun to carry . Hasn"t happened yet but I am covered.

 

[Nutty4Guns]

XDM 4.5! Because it's accurate, reliable, tough as nails, and the only .45 I currently own:woot:

Here ya' go!

It's a large gun, but I really like my FNP-45. Accurate, a great range gun, fun to shoot.

 

[pacific keeper]

S&W 1911 PD , 29 ounces , eats every thing I put in it , and it shoots 3" @25 yards . Second would either be 625 mountain revolver or Sig P220 .

 

[SPU]

Sig P220 Carry Elite Dark with beavertail, nightsights and aluminum grip. Because I own it.

 

[Phillyfan]

HK45. Great ergos, even if it does look a little Batman-esque. Extremely accurate, low recoil, easy cleaning, more capacity than a 1911, and not everyone has one. I like being a little different.

 

[dan10mmman]

Para-Ordnance P-14, fits my hand, will fire anything it's fed. Has 15 230gr. GDHP w/ 2- 16rd spare mags. Accurate enough to hit bowling pins at 100yds. Thousands of rounds through it and the only time it did not go bang is when I fed it a round with no primer in it. One time it accidently got a 10mm in the middle of a mag....it fired it....ruined the brass but no damage to the pistol...tuff gun

 

[Kevatc]

My XD45Tac. 13+1, accurate despite me, can go forever between cleanings. Only downside I've found so far is that it doesn't like 185gr HP's which I am thinking have a similar shape to a semi-wadcutter and I've read lots of reports about XD's and semi-wadcutters not playing very well together.

 

[Iceberg]

Here ya' go!

Are they factory fresh safe queens, or do you shoot them?

 

[johnboy]

Colt officers....metal, heavy, controllable, accurate, stopping power

 

[billt]

Are they factory fresh safe queens, or do you shoot them?

I shoot them quite often. The photos were taken the day I got them. Bill T.

 

[Dutchy556]

Only .45 I still own, and what works best for me - Glock 21SF

 

[spider]

Colt Commander Series 80, almost got rid of it but didnt, shoots awesome groups, Kimber TLE/RL II with some custom mods thougth up by me with help from Dave at Southridge Arms, this thing will shoot quarter size groups all day, and is freaking awesome with the bowers atas .45 can I got.

My practical favorite is my Dan Wesson CBOB. I love the way the bobbed frame fits my hand. It's usually my EDC. My sentimental favorite is my 1951 Colt Government.
The other 1911 is the new Ruger. It's the wife's favorite!
I'm definitely a 1911 fan. I just love the way they feel in my hand. I grew up shooting single action autos and it's what I shoot best.
