You can never go wrong with a Sig!

[C-Money]

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

[superdown]

I own the kimber eclipse custom II full size and highly reccomend it. but if i were to buy another in the future I would check this out.

[NRA4LIFE]

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

[ORCA_SIX]

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

[DoubleJ]

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

XD45 or XD(m)45... they're great and the price is right. 

[pianoman9701]

XD45 or XD(m)45... they're great and the price is right. 

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!

[Bofire]

any good 1911, Kimber or Springer
Carl

[Alchase]

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.
Which one does your hand like?

[boots]

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

[BLR 243]

I'v got the Kimber Gold combat might look @ Smith & wesson E series I might add one of these.

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

[wildmanoutdoors]

Id do the Kimber if you want single action, But my HK USP compact is a bad ass little piece! Night sites with the LE kit installed. Its a 5 pound double action!

[Gutpile]

Ever consider a Sig p220? They are sweet shooters I absolutely love mine. I do own a Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry though and do like it...............................A LOT!!! 

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

I got a Ruger P90T a few months ago and i really like it.

[sisu]

Get a S&W 625-8 then you have a .45ACP that won't hang up, jam etc

I want another! Everyone should own two!

[huntandjeep]

Kimber Tactical carry II

[wadu1]

any good 1911, Kimber or Springer
Carl

And add Dan Wesson along with all the other 1911s; I carry a Springfield Companion

Love this idea, too.
I carry a titanium 45acp revo on my hip for open carry.
I am not a fan of double stack 45's.
Buy a quality 5" 1911 on the 100th anniversary and be done with it.

[DoubleJ]

NO!!!!!  Glock 30!!!!

The original Dan Wesson 1911's made in USA before the CZ buy out may have been the best of the best 1911's ever made. I just happen to know someone who has an original Dan Wesson Pointman.

I 2nd that on the Kimber! I just bought a Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry II a month or so back and I love it. I think it is gorgeous. It is so light & compact, perfect for carrying. One of these days I may even shoot it too! 

[Gutpile]

I've put about 300 rounds through mine. Actually have had some probs with the factory mag. It doesn't feed the last round every time. I bought some CMC mags and they are working flawlessly. I LOVE LOVE LOVE 1911's

Hmmm. thats good info to know. I guess I should get out & shoot mine and see how it does

I agree on the 1911's sweet pistols for sure. I've been thinking about getting an original Colt Govt version. Been looking at a 1918 and I think a 1913...maybe someday soon...

[rtspring]

thanks for all the input.,

got it down to the SIG 220 match, and the , Kimber Ultra Carry II     I am going to shoot both of them and then shell out the $$$$$$..

thanks again.......

[ORCA_SIX]

I had a P220 for a number of years and that thing was a tack driver but man was it heavy on the hip for everyday carry. I would go with something lighter. Check the weight on each.

[Mossy]

FNP 45?  15 rounds?  3 mags?  Low recoil?......I've been impressed.

[FC]

It's a good gun Mossy, you should be!

[Mossy]

I like it, it's alot of fun to shoot.  Been very reliable.

[demontang]

I love the kimber ultra carry II  , I just dont have the cash to fork over but I can always steal my mothers when she doesnt use it . Ive never seen a sig 1911 Ill have to hunt one down and go shoot it.

[PlateauNDN]

It's a .45 you can't go wrong with that!  I've only fired a springfield 1911 and owned a Glock 21 for my duty weapon and personal weapon and didn't have any complaints.  Good choice either way.  When a banger tries to pull his 22 or 9 just pull the 45 and let'em know one shot, one kill.

[ORCA_SIX]

You have bangers in God's country?

[BOWHUNTER45]

Man I am not much on pistols but my buddy bought one of those kimbers and that thing is SWeeeeet.. about $ 1,700.00 though !!!!!! HAD FUN WASTEING HIS BULLETS !!!!HAHAHAHA

17hun? Holy smokes! Did he get the gold plated version!? 

[PlateauNDN]

You better believe it!  This past fall I and the wife were scouting some new area and when we were coming out we ran into this crappy little tonka toy (toyota) with a couple of punks that tried to get tough and disrespectful towards my wife and hot damn that s**t don't fly with me.  I informed them really quick how easy it would be for me to send them before THE MAN before they got a chance to pull their cute little pocket pistols out!  While "talking" with them they mentioned they had been following our tracks for some time.  Just another reason why I pack 24/7.

[BOWHUNTER45]

yeah we all need to start packing and I will ask what kind it was exactely .. I know its camo and has the built in lazer sight and it was a 45... and could get really addicting but for that kinda money it better be ...hahaha
