Just curious which one had the bigger following and why. Seems to me that the USP following has gone down in the last year and I just wanted to see if I was right.

[Col. Mustard]

Your poll includes a Glock, but not the SiG P220?

OTHER

[Schuey2002]

I don't which has the "bigger following" but, my G21 follows me around from time to time..;)

[10-Ring]

I like my USP 45's so much, I've got 2 :) In an Expert & a standard...and I'm contemplating a compact in the neat future :cool: (so I can have'em in med, large, extra large :D )

[harrydog]

I accidently hit "other" when I meant to hit 1911 - was in a hurry and didn't see it listed at first.
So add another vote for the 1911.

[FPrice]

I voted for the basic Colt 1911 .45ACP as my favorite, but I also like the Glock 21. Go figure.

[TheFrontRange]

I'm a 1911 shooter, but I like the look and feel of the SIG P220 and would like to try a Glock 21 sometime, too. :)

[fatboyclone]

The HK USP is one of the finest handguns on the market.

[WhoKnowsWho]

I like all 4 so I voted for other.

[Boiler_G]

COLT 1991A! 'nough said!

[Beorn]

I will eventually get a 1911, but I think I'll get a G21 first...

[gryphon]

1911 is the only way to go for me!

[10-Ring]

I've owned all of the options in this poll (although I haven't stumbled across an "other" ;) ). I've sold them all off now and only have HK's in this caliber.

[Ian11]

I feel you can't go wrong with any of these. Some are overpriced and some are priced just right. All of them are reliable, tough, accurate, and would rely on any of them to defend my life with.

I voted the Glock 21 because I feel its one of the most underrated pistols out there.

As far as a "following" I'd put it in this order:

1. 1911 (Colt, Kimber, SA)
2. Sig Sauer P220/P220ST
3. H&K USP/F
4. Glock 21
5. CZ-97

[Minute_Of_Torso]

Had to vote 1911 but I'd take any of the ones listed.
Never had a SIG and I've never even held one . . . guess I gotta get to the gunshop.

[coonan357]

what ABout or s that aboot Para Ord.?? I own the 14-45lda and the new 6-45 Paracarry , nice for the price .:D

[ruger357]

Kimber 1911 Ultra Carry.

[Marko Kloos]

1911 and .45...they go together like mom and apple pie. (Although the P220 is the best DA .45 money can buy.)

[ZekeLuvs1911]

You guys and gals get only one guess at which one I vote for. ;)

[Chapman]

Had several bad experiences with 1911s, in contrast my P220 has been very reliable.

[Ewok_Guy]

Nineteen-Eleven! :neener:

[DeltaElite]

Glock or Sig.
If you get a 1911, get it in 10mm. :D

[New_comer]

HK USP ;)

[mephisto]

CZ-97

[Ala Dan]

Greeting's Ladies and Gent's-

another vote for the SIG-Sauer P220A!

Best Wishes,

[DamnedDirtyApe]

Glock 30, so, "OTHER"

I keep noticing that number 220 on billboards and license plates and serial numbers on dollar bills. My bathroom scale goes up to 220 lbs.

A girl smiled at me yesterday, who had to weigh at least that much. My checkbook balanced out at x220.00.

220 is almost exactly three times my height in inches ....

I might be getting a message from beyond ...

[Carlos Cabeza]

[Tamara]

Guess... ;)

[Mr. James]

SA Champion, because I have one and love it.

I like the HK USP45c, and hope to buy one when I squirrel enough money away.

But the 1911 has me hooked.

[samualt]

I have just recently become a big fan of the 1911. It is my first .45. Accurate and easy to handle. Its just perfect!

[DerRottweiler]

I voted for the Sig P220!
I have 2 of them a P220ST and a P220TT!!

[Ian11]

Tamara,

I was gonna say V-10 but that Professional Model is so choice :cool:

[cratz2]

The grips on the USP is just too fat for me to get my admittedly smallish hands around solidly. I have no problem with the size of the Beretta/Taurus and even the Glock grip is sized better for me though still uncomfortable. SIG is too top heavy and seems to have too high a bore axis.

That leaves the 1911. A decent carry trigger job, ramp and throat polished, about 5 Wilson mags and nothing else compares. Or an out-of-the-box Springfield Professional would work very nicely as well.

[Ryder]

The grips on the USP is just too fat

Yeah, for me too and I can't remember anyone confusing me for a small person. I like the idea of a reliable accurate gun however so I am considering forcing myself to buy one to see if I can become accustomed to the fit over time. I have no idea if this is even possible? I think I could adapt for range/target use but the self defense aspect of unaimed shots using an improper fit gun doesn't fill me with confidence.

If it doesn't work out then I can trade the thing for two 1911's! Hehhe, then I'll be real happy.

[Mastrogiacomo]

H&K is the best there is...and worth every cent. No hassles, accurate and beautiful.:D Only thing better is a Beretta.:D :D :D

[denfoote]

Don't faint!! :evil:

But, now that I got one in my hot little hand, I kinda like 'Ol Slabsides!!! ;)

I voted for 1911!!!! :eek:

[Kahr carrier]

1911s Are my favorite ,but I have owned everything on your list at one time or another G21 is a close second.:)

[Tamara]

If it doesn't work out then I can trade the thing for two 1911's! Hehhe, then I'll be real happy.

Two 1911s for a USP? What? Two used Charles Daleys in 60% condition, maybe...

[2xTap]

1911 !!!!!!!

2xTap

[mr e man]

1911.

[KPersimmon]

I guess I'm different, but I do like the Smith & Wesson 645/745 models especially. (My home defense gun is a pampered, very accurate and reliable 645.) However, I've never been overly enthusiastic about the 4506, with its humped grip and "creepy" trigger, and always wondered why the previous design was dropped after just a couple of years.

[sniper1]

would have to say one of two of my p220s, also planning on a 1911 in the near future.

sniper1

[Stevie-Ray]

1911.

[caz223]

Wooooow, nice collection, cratz2.
I thought it would be a landslide, but it's worse than I thought.
I voted for USP, since USPc was not an option.
I have a 1911, it's just not a .45

[Snaps]

Voted fro the USP. I took some time to decide and I'm picking up my first .45 tomorrow. HK USP Tactical, I think I made the right choice.

[Kahr carrier]

Congrats Snaps on your new Hk Tactical those are sweet.:)

[foghornl]

Started shooting .45ACP in a KP-90 Ruger, but I have switched. My favorite .45ACP Launch Platform now is the Springfield Champion 1911-A1.:D

[Watch-Six]

1911. Why? You have got to be kidding. Watch-Six

[Snaps]

Thank ya Thank ya;)

Anyway I picked it up earlier. One problem though I can't figure out how to get the slide off fast. :confused: Yeah I know I'm a moron but I've never had problems with anything before but I'm working at it.:)I can't get it the entire way off so I've tot to change my handle on it abd use another finger to stick it through. Oh well it still works

[CZF]

CZ97B $1,400 gun accuracy. 22 recoil. $500 price tag!

[DMK]

CZ-97s are way cool. I like SIGS and USP's a lot too. However I'm 2 and 0 with two 1911's and no other 45s.

[JasonPT145]

Taurus PT-145.

For the price, it is a great gun!!

[tobeat1]

I too have owned one of each of those pistols. Of them I had an old style Sig 220 (before they "improved" the frame) that fit me perfectly. The old style checkered grips and a factory trigger job.
I sold it like an idiot:banghead: and am now stuck with the HK Tactical and a very nice Kimber. Of the guns I owned I thought the old style 220 was my favorite but since you cannot get them that way anymore I'd have to go with the 1911.

[cool45auto]

I have a Ruger P97DC so I put "other".
