Your favorite NON-1911 .45 Auto Is:

Ruger P97, Glock 21.

But if we're talking about handguns in .45 ACP, then a Smith 625.

'Nuther vote for the mighty 220 here......I have yet to find a finer shooting and more comfortable .45acp handgun for myself.

Another vote for the Sig 220. Hey!! As a matter of fact, you helped me acquire "another" one did'nt you Republicanman?!?! lol!!!

HK USP full size.
P220
P90

In that order some of the best shooting 45's out there.

My favorite is no secret...HK, USP 45

Sig P220.

Sig P 220, great gun ,but I still like my 1911's better.

Sig P220.

Zach S, you bring up an interesting side question, namely, are the Para-Ordinances too different to be considered a true 1911 and thus eligable for consideration in this thread. Can a 1911 be double-stacked, double action, and hammerless.

I'm not a purist, although some ppl wouldnt, I still consider my Kimber Polymer a 1911, even though I cant change grips, not to mention the mags, mag catch, grip safety and trigger are different than a single stack, most parts still interchange and I think that JMB himself, along with any 1911 guy, wouldn't have a problem detail stripping it or a widebody single-action Para.

The LDA looks like a 1911, but thats about it, since only a few parts interchange and the action is totally different, I dont consider it a 1911.

Sig P 220. Great Gun!

I like the 220ST, USPc's are pretty nice too.....

Sig 220...

In fact a little exposure to one of these can make you wonder why you didn't put your consheller down and try one sooner.

LDA is a red headed step child and should be treated as such.

As well as any gun that has an External Extractor.

If God had ment guns to be made of plastic or aluminim He would have
had JMB make it that way.

No 1911s?

Ya mean...There are other pistols in that caliber???

All jokin' aside, if the Grinch swiped all the 1911s, I'd hafta go with the Sig.

S&W 457

No 1911s then I'd go with my Beretta 92F.


edited to add: Because I own no other pistols in 45ACP

Sig P220
