Your Favorite Full-Sized .45acp Handgun?

Suppressed!

Working on it!

My .45s are all 1911, mostly a combination of Colts and Detonics (Colts being the favorite). I have tried others over the years but have never found anything that fits or shoots as well for me as the 1911. My EDC for many years was a Novak prepared Colt Combat Commander. I've recently switched to 9mm for EDC but am still using the 1911 format.

There is no doubt that 1911's are the coolest. I own a couple and really enjoy them but.....

My current favorite full sized .45 is my new Glock 41. Simple, reliable, accurate and lots of rounds in the mags. I've been playing around with lower power reloads that make it even more of a dream to shoot.

Favorite...




Full size CQB




Carry...



Thunder Ranch Special, Hard Chrome Finish with Crimson Trace grips

My two are an original Glock 21 with a KKM barrel that supports the Osprey I have. I've also got a Springfield "Operator" that's not too shabby. Pretty fantastic, actually.

If it's SHTF time, I'm grabbing the Glock.....

 

[Bon Sauvage]

Favorite full sized? That would be a S&W M1917.

USP 45
With tactical light. Only for SHTF though. Not carrying that thing concealed.

You could if you dress like Neo.

My Colt 1991A1. My Sig P220 is a close second.

HK Tactical, Compact, or a Mark 23) w/ a Silencerco Suppressor. Something about an HK with a suppressor. Like they were designed for one vs a Glock or other.

Or .... the award for best value - $130 (off this forum) - a green Hi Point 45acp that is accurate and has never jammed.

 

[Portaledgepete]

HK45T. After that 1911s, USP45, and P220.

Dan Wesson CBOB. Not only my favorite .45 or 1911 (and I've owned several different 1911s), but my favorite handgun, period.

 

[Mr.B]

Technically not a full size since it has a 4 inch barrel, but my favorite is my Kimber pro tle II. Been my edc for about 3 years. Kind of heavy, and have to dress around it, but I shoot it so well, it is worth it.

 

[Blackcobra]

I have several 1911s, but my favorite .45 is my Sig P220. It's old, ugly, has holster wear and scratches from being carried for years, but it just plain works. Every time - no malfunctions since I bought it new.

It doesn't get carried anymore, as I like my Springfield EMP with CT Grips, but I still keep it handy and shoot it when I can. This is a gun that I will never get rid of.

I have several 1911s, but my favorite .45 is my Sig P220. It's old, ugly, has holster wear and scratches from being carried for years, but it just plain works. Every time - no malfunctions since I bought it new.

Every time I try to move away from the P220 (in part because it's ugly), I end up right back with it. Ultra reliable, ultra accurate and simple to field strip.

 

[Siglvr]

P220 for me. Hands down. Sold a very expensive Wilson Combat 1911, am selling a less expensive Les Baer now.
P220 = love.

Your results may vary of course

Dan Wesson CBOB. Not only my favorite .45 or 1911 (and I've owned several different 1911s), but my favorite handgun, period.

Although I don't have my CBOB, gave it to my son in the army, I now have a VBOB!

Don't know if the commander qualifies as a full size, has a 4 1/4" barrel, but it has a full size 1911 frame?

I have a Colt XSE stainless government though and it may soon become my favorite. Dan Wesson blasphemy, I know!

 

[Fast Eddie]

I love my very full sized FNX 45, I love the confidence I have shooting it. It's not the most expensive gun or the prettiest gun I have, but it's my favorite.

 

[MEP1000]

It is a toss up between my Sig P220 Elite and Sig P227 TacOps..... Both extremely accurate out of the box and 100% reliable. Hands down those are my two favorite .45's to shoot
