Taurus Mil Pro PT145 IWB holster works great for me. SA/DA trigger! Heinie Straight 8sights are nice too but I'd pony up for night sights if I did it again. Today I had my PT1911 with me but the extended beavertail ISN'T/WASN'T comfortable sticking into my hip! Also, 10+1 rnds of 45ACP is very very comforting.
 
S&W 625 in 4 inch. The revolver is outstanding and it's easy to carry a spare moon clip or 2. I'm most likely to carry extra ammo is when I'm packing the 625.
 
CCW .45ACP?

1.5" 1911

2.Sig P220 Carry

3. HK USP .45c

4.G30

These would be my top pick's. From a personal view, the Colt 1911 XSE is my CCW.
 
Sig P220 Carry or full size

Quote: Which .45 ACP handgun will have the following:
(in no particular order)

- highly reliable/dependable
- lowest recoil
- most ammo - spare ammo included (within reason)
- easy reloading




Stuff I don't care about:
(not an obstacle)

- cost
- weight
- revolver vs. autoloader (both are fine)
- ease of concealing
- readiness to fire (I don't mind chambering or disengaging a safety, etc.)

Sig P220 Carry or full size

Comes with two 8 round magazines and one 10 round magazine

Comes with Night Sights, glow 24/7 for some 8yrs..

Easiest gun to disassemble, inspect, clean, and reassemble, out there.

Accurate out of the box, on the money, and least amount of recoil, smooth firing guns.

DA/SA, allowing you to have one chambered, but hammer can be seen down, and requires a 10.5 lb full pull to fire, or you can manually thumb-cock the hammer putting it into SA mode and only requires a 4.5 lb pull.

Easy to load, yep.

No safety (a good thing) but has a "frame mounted decocker-only", that allows you to decock the gun out of SA mode, back into DA mode, without compromising your proper 2-hand grip.

Dependable, oh yes, reliable, oh yes, fires anything you put in it, oh yes, every time.

Either gun, ccw if needed, medium in weight, great for ease of point to aim.

I had choosen the G36, There is nothing wrong with the other ones listed, in fact those that I have fired, did very well.
It ended up coming down to I really like the glock style.

I would also pick the Sig, the HK, it is just personal preference, but as far as performance, accuracy, reliablity...The others ones listed do the job.
