Favorite .45

It's kind of weird saying it...but XD .45 Service. I've owned 2 of these and I have no idea why I shot them so well. It's definitely not my favorite .45 but it's my favorite with the barrel length requirement. I put 10,000 rounds of dirty reloads through one and barely cleaned it at all. They are both gone but maybe I'll get another one some day. They shot unusually well for me for some reason.
 
My favorite is my Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull. A ton of bark and bite. Although not what most think of as a "45".
 
Yeah RussB, a nickname/term some of my unsocialized friends and I came up with poke'n fun at ourselves, plus couldn't beat the look on people's faces when they asked what school we went to!


That's a good one! I appreciate the irony :)


Here's my S&W Gunsite commander,

Simple.

Shoots .45 ACPs into a ragged hole at 10 yards. And shoots .45 Supers! Yep 230 gr. JHP at 1000 fps (I choroned them myself.)

I agree, 3" S&W 625 is my favorite .45 ever made.

The only thing that would improve mine is a nice set of compact wood grips. (Which I plan to do very soon.)
 
Poker,

You and I have similar taste.

And tomorrow morning me and my 629-1 4 incher will be in the woods looking for Mr. Deer.

That is one of these I've been tracking.

All of 'em are legal here in Texas.

SIG 220 Cary DAK Is the only short barreled .45 I have. Lately it has become my go to carry gun mainly because the thought of losing my custom 1911 to a evidence locker is enough to keep me up at night. That and the fact that I cary a 229 DAK for a work gun makes the manipulation drills easier to perform under stress.
 
I have many .45s but since I sold my XD Compact, I don't have one with less than a 4.25" barrel. In fact two of them are 20+" barrels. Haha. You've got to love a good .45.
 
With a 4.25" barrel-Colt Commander/Combat Commander.

With a shorter than 4.25" barrel-Colt Officers Model.
 
I've yet to purchase it but its been on my list a while.

Iggy, can't believe I missed your nice N-frame! I really like the good old plain S&W.

That's the idea, you ain't supposed to have a hint until you hear the firin' pin hit the primer.;)
 
I guess my favorite would me be my customized Colt Officers ACP in stainless, or my HK Compact Tactical if I want to use a can for some reason. Haven't figured out how to upload pics yet...
