.45
 

What kind of .45 are we favoring these days.

XD 4 inch barrel, just have to range test it.

SIG P245. The original factory chopped version of the 220:lifter

NDD, are you talking Ammo, or launchers?

I'm shooting Blazer Brass that I laid in back when it was $9.50 a box at Wal Mart for range shit, and I have a couple boxes of Federal HST should I loose my damn mind and carry one of these anachronistic weapons :D

Good times,
Blake

H&K USP Tactical .45 ACP

H&K USPc .45 ACP


Most of my ammunition is Federal Hydrashock and some Corbon DPX light loads.

H&K USP

I know you care a lot about what I'm using . . . LMAO! :lifter:D

HK USPc

Kimber Eclipse II Pro Carry (it looks perty)

Para Ordnance.

TR

Colt Mark IV

USP

Kimber TLE/RL II with SF x-200 in the winter time.

Edited to add:

CorBon 230gr. JHP's for both.

Ruger Vaquero
Just Like the originals :D

Glock 30 w/ Corbon DPX

Ditto to The Reaper
 

As expected, The Reaper has it as do I. Although I could use COL M's Mark IV.

USP & USP Compact .45 230gr Full Metal Jacket, Kramer holsters, training and attitude provided by US Army Special Forces.;)

Team Sergeant

Colt New Agent 45 ACP
Snag free Trench Style sight on 3" barrel
(Similar to the Defender.)
Overall length: 6.75"
Weight: 25 oz.

Team Sergeant, why would you carry FMJ over JHP?

Why would you use a chipping wedge instead of a driver?;)

I actually use both, but it depends on where I'll be spending most of my time, ie: crowded place vs. non-crowded place (open spaces). I carry more than one .45 mag. The second mag is always full of FMJ.

OK, I'm an old Fart
 

Mk IV / Series 70 Government Model, stainless.

HK45 Compact. Really, really nice - except for the sights. The dots are luminescent instead of Tritium and need to be "charged". WTH were they thinking putting these on a concealed carry weapon?? :rolleyes:

Also, I find that the grip prints worse than a 1911 due to the finger extension on the magazines.

CPTAUSRET
 

CPTAUSRET asked me to post this for him because he was not sure if the .45 was actually referring to a bullet size, a weapon or the diameter of the wooden shaft he uses to make his weapon of personal choice, the "Atlatl". (Yes, that the ATLATL.)

You're welcome Terry.

Team Sergeant

I believe the Atlatl wins the old school award.

Under the influence of TS, when wandering by the Leech pond , I carry a USPc in a Kramer.

Ah, roger that! Wasn't sure if it was some nifty SF secret or not :D

Thanks!

XD 4"
Remington Golden Saber JHP 230gr
Federal American Eagle FMJ 230gr

Early Combat Commander in satin nickel. Well worn, scratches, holster wear but shoots better than I can. Do not carry based on magazine capacity, but I have other choices, METT_TC. Maryland laws also frown on the practice. She gets lots of range time and is always with me on the Striper Coast.

as with RL's comments, no one cares but.....
 

Depending on my clothing/activity; either the Kimber Pro CDP or Kimber Compact CDP... Wilson mags/Speer LE HP.... Milt Sparks IWP Holster.

Hk USP was my favorite .45, loaded with Speer 200 grain +p Gold Dots. Unfortunately money has been a problem lately, so it's been a Glock 23.

When I am back in "the money", I like the looks of the HK 45C.

Jatx, other than the sights, and that it prints, anything else you don't like about it? I'm thinking of either getting this or giving the 1911 platform another chance.

No, it's really nice and to be honest, the printing issue will probably be resolved when I can replace the el cheapo kydex Comp-Tac holster with a Milt Sparks. Also, Heinie is making Straight Eights sights for the HK45 now, so I may send it to them for work while I am away at a school this fall. Otherwise, it's perfect - no sharp edges, thin, good ergonomics and one of the few triggers that I've been satisfied with since I started shooting Nighthawks. :lifter

H&K USP 45F LEM or S&W M&P with RBCD's.

I picked up the Smith and Wesson M&P .45 ACP full size yesterday.

Good ergonomics, good mag capacity, double action only type trig and feels well balanced. Also came with night sights. Very nice pistol for the price I paid out the door.

www.gandrtactical.com has them for $460 but only a couple of more left.

I have a S&W Chief special auto, really nice to shoot. It is a compact 45. I am a devotee' to S&W wheel guns, but never liked their autos until recently.

Springfield XD .45acp compact with 4 inch barrel first choice for daily concealed out of the safe before Glock-21 KKM, Glock-21 SF KKM, Taurus 24/7, Kimber CDP, HK-45 USP, HK-Tactical Jarvis, or Para P-14.

Cal. .45 ACP
 

Have 3, A Les Baer custom SRP picked up on 08-21-2007. A Smith & Wesson model 4516-1 SS purchased in 1996. Also have a Colt Gold Cup National Match I purchased in July, 1969 Paid $175.00 new. Ammo used Speer LE Gold Dot 230 gr. GDHP. Federal Tactical Hydra-Shok 230 gr. JHP. Remington 230 gr. FMJ. The Colt shots the best groups at 25 yds. 1.5 -2.0 inches. Carry the Les Baer in a Mitch Rosen custom leather holster with 2 additional magazines. Regard's, tom kelly

I never cared for any of the Smith autos either until this pistol was introduced into the market place.

It's recieved mostly great reviews.

They also make the M&P with a thumb safety if your not interested in DAO type trig without a safety. Personally I can keep my finger off the trigger until at which time it's necessary or safe to point and fire. ;)

Although I must admit that I have five 1911's

1. Wilson Combat CQB with Dawson rail.

2. Night Hawk Custom VT

3. Kimber Tactical Pro II (Terrible gun)

4. SA TRP Operator. (Best value for the money on the market in the 1911 genre, out of the box at least)

5. Colts MkIV/Series 70 Gov model.

running and hiding from Team Sergeant. :D

Hmmm ... let me see here: .45's:

1.) Colts MkIV/Series 70 Gov model. (Worked over by a good gunsmith)

2.) Colts MkIV/Series 70 Steel Commander. (Factory installed Seecamp DA) Same gunsmith work over)

3.) Detonics SS MK-IV

4.) SIG 220 (CRS)

5.) H&K USP w/ H&K Light

Kimber (TLE II) Hydro Shock 230gr.

The Glock is your Duty Weapon, but you have not fired it except to kill a rattlesnake:eek:

Please tell me I'm mis-reading this.

Good times,
Blake
