I like 45 ACP!

[GRUNHERZ]

I really do, a very nice round shoot. Seemingly more pleasent than 40.  

So since I dont really care for 9mm it seems to be 40 or 45 for my handgun.

So...

Sig P220 - really nice and lots of fun

Sig P226 - always good

HK USP45 C or FS - something cool about these and the 10rds in the
FS are great

HK P2000 - very cool little pistol and better ergonomics than the USP

Maybe should a ridiculously expensive  1911 too

****ing choices!

I don't think you need an extremely high quality 1911.  I think a standard 1911 from a good company will do you well.

ACP stands for 'Automatic, Colt; Pistol'.

using anything else is just heracy.

I love my Ruger P90DC.

[GRUNHERZ]

There is a local range with a Les Baer 1911 to rent, gto and I gotta shoot that one next time we visit.

And lazs has some Kimbers too, and I'd love to shoot one but I cant get up there very easily during the week.

I havent shot a 1911 in years, but I'm pretty sure one was the first handgun I ever fired.

Best use of .45 ACP ever:

Tommy gun is lots of fun to shoot!!

I'd love to have a tommy gun and one of these to go drive it to the range..  

[SOB]

Yeah, Tommy Gun is fun...and smokey as hell!  Unless it was just the loads they were using where I shot it.

[Hangtime]

Jackin 'em up and puttin 'em down fer nearly 100 years.

Nothin' can 'blow the stuffin outta the muffin' better than a 1911.

As stated previously, I owm the USP 45.  I'm now partial to HK.  

HOWEVER, a Kimber Custom would be perfect for the 1911 style (Single Action/DA).  

Sig's are great too, you cannot go wrong.  

I'll never own a 9mm.

The 226 doesn't come in .45.

I have several Sig 220's (ST, Rail and stnd) in .45, and in my personal biased opinion, since I teach for SigArms, it's the best all round .45 you can buy in terms of accuracy, longevity, and plain simplicity to use.

That said, I've ALWAYS shot better with a 1911 frame gun, they just sit in my mits better, and I have multiple Kimbers and a couple real high end Baers and one Valtro.

No matter what you chuck it through, the .45 is the best all round ..round, next to .357SIG anyhow.


As for HK's, I have a SOCOM in .45, but it's the only one of their models I have seen break in less than 4 months use on our range, and I've probably had a dozen USP's have slide fractures and other issues.  That's on a very VERY busy range however, most folks never shoot that much.  I've never had a 226 or 220 go down with anything more than a 2 dollar spring issue, and one of my 226's is pushing 150,000 rounds.  I really like the HK's though, and their dual spring system in the slide makes it the easiest pistol out there to cycle, so when you're doing one handed pistol drills, racking the slide off your heel or belt/holster is easy as hell compared to a Sig weapon.
