Favorite 45's?

[.375]

Some day a CZ 97 BD. Just dreaming now.

Fav .45

1. Colt Gold Cup NM Series 70
2. Ruger Blackhawk Convertible 5.5"
3. Marlin Camp Carbine

But, just like with beer, my favorite is the one I'm currently holding!

This was Les Baer's retirement present after 21 years. It was fired 200 times by a gunwriter and 7 times by me, just to say I had shot it. Kind of like the C-96 also.

highpower- Cool 1911, great story. I absolutely love that you took the gun as is and only replaced what was necessary for safe function. Thanks for posting it!


I have a number of .45s but I'd be hard pressed to pick a single favorite. These four are the ones I like the most, one of them is my favorite on any given day. Currently my favorite carry .45 is this Krebs Custom Colt ORM 1991A1 Commander. It's a terrific gun, as accurate and sweet shooting as one would expect a Marc Krebs 1911 to be.

That is Nice, Mike. Thanks for sharing.

I recently picked up a Kahr CM45. I'm still below the recommended 200 round break in, but so far this little gun has been extremely reliable, and very accurate. Its a fun pistol to shoot, and surprisingly, doesn't beat you up too bad.

The only bad part about a .45 ACP pistol happens when I run out of ammo!

I have 4. Two Les Baer, Springfield RO 5" and a SR1911. I carry the SR. They all have been 100% reliable. I'm a range rat and enjoy each as much as the others. They all are more accurate than I.

S&W Model 22 Thunder Ranch Edition (or Model 1950) Revolver

Colt Stainless Combat Commander

But that's just me.

I agree with C5rider. My favorite would be the Thompson sub-machine gun. That is, if I didn't live in a commie state that won't let me have even a semi-auto version. So my favorite that I do own is my Glock 36.

 

[TfflHndn]

For me, a dead heat between my Remington R-1 Enhanced and my Ruger Blackhawk Convertible, in either .45auto or .45colt. Both are dead-nuts accurate. Just depends on whether I want to shoot single-action or semi-auto on a given day as to which one I pick out of the safe.

 

[9mmfan]

These.

Largely due to the fact that these are the only .45s I own...

 

[Realist]

Except for the poor sights I like my Ballester Molina.

(Sight replacement recommendations?)

One of these

I didn't even think about revolvers when I posted the other day. My favorite .45 revolver is also a Krebs Custom piece called the CROWBAR. It's a S&W M28 Highway Patrolman that was converted from .357mag to .45ACP along with lots of other mods back in the late '80s. It's a very cool wheel gun.

 

[gotboostvr]

WC145, that's a great piece. I hope you don't mind, but I've saved a copy of that picture a long time ago while thinking about chopping up an old M1917.
I'm considering coverting my 625 to DAO instead.
