Gentlemen, thanks for the input

Ruger fan
 

I've shot multiple .45s as mentioned above own a Colt 1911,Springfield 45(which is nice), but my favorite is My RugerP97DC...love.

thought about buying another to have one on each hip...

USP Compact
 

Does the HK USP Compact come in .45? Or just 9mm?

Let me Google that for you:
 

Poke here.

No, no...keep the tip. (I can't believe I picked today to quit drinking. :rolleyes: )

Yea I'm just gonna stop posting for a while

Finally got the HK45c. Excellent gun, not that there was ever any doubt. Fired around 600 rounds of WWB, Federal Champion, and PMC through it so far - unbelievably accurate out of the box.

Ordering some RBCD 90 and 115 grain TFSP this afternoon for the home, and carry (outside the People's Republic, of course). Still waiting for my Kramer MSP to show up.

Im itching for an HK45C in Da/Sa, but have yet to locate one in local shop/gun show. As for now, I have a springfield national match GI style M1911A1....but thats more of a range toy than anything else. The bad guys get to deal with the tactical tupperware...until I get a 45C

Glock 34 9mm, 127gr +p+ Ranger SXT.

Basic Trainer .45
 

I found a decent 1911 good for both teaching basic care and feeding of the .45 as well as for cost. The ROCK ISLAND ARMORY, made in Phillipines, provides an adequate platform for the budding "shootist" before investing in a more sophisticated weapon. Bought my daughter one 500 rounds ago for her birthday. Fairly accurate, no malfunctions or defects. Bidding runs $375 - $410 for 1911A1 and $450 - $475 for a Commander on Gunbroker.com.

This was my very first handgun. I ended up selling it a few years later. Now for .45s I carry (when I carry a .45) a Springfield 5" LW Operator loaded with Golden Sabers. Also in the safe is a SIG P220 loaded with some older Ranger T.

Rock Island
 

I also use the Rock Island 1911 and find it an amazing weapon for the price. I can't see myself letting go of it.

HK45C which is great. It fits my smaller hands quite well and is a great shooter. My only other .45 is a Colt 1911 (circa 1918) which I purchased in 1975. I nominallly have shot a Browning Hi Power since the early 70s but after I read Cooper on Handguns in the early 70s I just had to have a 1911...I honestly still shoot best with the Browning and it's what Im used to but the HK has really opened my old eyes to modern handguns.

.45 cal HANDGUNS:
 

10/27 Shot 50 rnds. from H&K .45 USP/C also have a COLT GOLD CUP purchased in 1970, A SPRINGFIELD XD, A PARA ORDINANCE 1 SF with the SF CREST, 2 Les Baer Custom model SRP and The Premier II. IN Revolvers I have a S&W THUNDER RANCH and a Model 22 with a S&W Performance Center Enhancement. They all shoot well, Just trying to get faster shots on target so Point of Aim = Point of Impact.....
