.45 acp sidearm

Phaedrus/69. I was thinking about the fnx45 but i haven't anything about its reliability or durability but 15 rounds of .45acp is hard to pass up.

No votes for the CZ97?!

As much as I love my Ruger SR1911, I'd opt for the CZ

Great ergos and accuracy to boot. I haven't heard of any reliability problems yet. Also, its made with a steel frame so if you run out of "boolits" you can still hit somebody with it

I've been carrying my FNP45 Tactical on duty for a couple of years now and couldn't be more pleased with it. I would not hesitate to carry it into combat.

 

[1911 guy]

We had the M9, M1911 and even some old .38 revolvers in our lockers. Any time I got a choice, I went with the .45. However, today I'd be hard pressed to choose between ol' slabsides and the XD, either service or tactical models.

Absolutely no question, Glock 21.

I am with Inebriated, no question.

 

[bannockburn]

Tough choice. Two top candidates would be a SIG P220 and a Colt Commander.

 

[haybaler]

Glock would be a good choice except the U.S. military requires manual safeties. The M&P with safety would be a good choice or maybe the Beretta PX4 Storm in .45 or back to the 1911.

 

[HammsBeer]

I'd pick the Sig P220 simply for the track record of reliability and no manual safety.

Retired US Army: If I had to a .45.
I have a Kahr .45 which is a good carry firearm though I do like my Kahr .380.
I also have a Springfield Champion .45 1911 style.
So 2 .45 in my collection so you see where my preference is.

Remington M53.
