HELP? I want a .45 (WHICH ONE SHOULD I BUY?)
« on: April 18, 2011, 10:45:25 AM »
Looking to purchase another pistol in .45 Cal.  leaning towards a SIG Match Grade .45 1911. This will be my every day carry pistol hunting or not.

any comment or ideas on others?  .45 cal is set in stone. Model and make not so sure. Price really not an issue..

currently own,
22 H&R revolver
22 Taurus magmagnum revolver
38 snubby Smith and Wesson
.357 taurus
.357 Smith and Wesson
.40 P90 Ruger
9mm P89 Ruger
44 Red hawk  RUGER
.500 Smith and Wesson  ( love this hand cannon)

thanks for any comments

If I had the budget, I KNOW I would buy a Kimber ultra carry. Very nice carry sidearm.

I'm quite smitten with my Gold Cup.  Might be a little over the top for an every day gun.

Kimber Ultra CDP II, lovely gun, and a great shooter or you could go with this.

You should buy my Glock 30, .45ACP.  PERFECT CCW gun.  No sharp edges to snag on clothes, very concealable, but still has 10+1 capability and fits fully into your hand.  Less than 500 rounds through it and it comes with 3 magazines, two 10rd and one 9rd, magazine belt cases, boxes of Cor-Bon hollowpoints in 165gn (1 box), 185gn (2 boxes), and 230gn (1 box)

Or just buy a stock Glock 19 and trade me :)

I'd second that. I just got a Springfield .45 XD and love it as an everyday gun. I won mine at the RMEF dinner. Can't beat the price!

Can't loose with either of those mentioned, my choices would be the Kimber if cost was not a factor. Sig, or XD if it was.

I like the 1911 platform, Kimbers are nice. I have not handled or seen a Sig in a 1911

got a kimber custom II, love the weapon no issues except it doesnt like blazer brass. for an everyday carry i think a full size 1911 is a bit much if i had no budget constraints id look at a kimber pro carry or ultra compact
