Your favorite NON-1911 .45 Auto Is:

[TODD3465]

Sig 220.

 

[Fed168]

One more for the 4506, and 945 for that matter.

 

[Longbow]

My Glock 19 It's been with me since the beginning, and god help me, it'll be with me at the end,

The Glock 19 is a 9mm, right?

 

[Prodigalshooter]

I really like my CZ 97, great shooter, would like better sights and will remedy this year. I have been looking at a Sig 220 of late, if I buy a pistol this year, it'll probably be the 220. I've fallen in lust with the .45ACP in general, now have 4 handguns in this caliber.

 

[GeneS]

Glock 21
Sig P220

 

[Hot brass]

P14
HK USP full size

 

[ninjalawyer]

SIG P220 all the way.

 

[JAREDSHS]

Cast my vote for the Smith&Wesson CS45D. What a nice weapon!!

 

[N3rday]

Liberator!

 

[hd1.]

S&W 4506

 

[berettaman]

My 8045 Cougar.

 

[dsgrntldPW]

MY S&W Shorty .45. Next is the Ruger P97. a terrific gun.

 

[JPM70535]

The finest non-1911 would have to be the older S&W model 645, full size, 5" bbl. I shot it for many years, competed in IPSC, and PPC competitions ,and it more than held it's own against 1911s,in spite of the DA/SA trigger. It was just about the only stock S&W that would feed empty cases. JMHO

 

[BamBam-31]

Sig 220 ST. Wow, what a great gun.

When I shoot my steel target at 50 yds. with it, people come up to me to ask what I'm shooting.

Made me buy a Bar-Sto barrel for my Springer Loaded, it's so good.

 

[foghornl]

Non-1911 platform favorite is the KP-90 Ruger. (Stainless version of the P-90).

I haven't fired a Sig or CZ, so I can't comment on them. Have tried a couple of Glocks, but I didn't like the "fit & feel" of Gaston's offerings.

 

[Mike Irwin]

Smith & Wesson Model of 1917.

If I had to go with a semi-auto, then I'd have to say Sig 220.

 

[jade]

Ruger P90.

 

[alwims]

Witness Full Size Steel .45 ACP. A little on the heavy side but the most fun 45 I have ever owned or shot. Have won 2 contests with it so far.

 

[MP-5]

S&W 645

o.k. stop laughing!!

 

[DakotaSig]

Another vote for the SIG P220ST!

 

[Kamicosmos]

CZ97B. I own one, and it's quickly becoming my favorite auto. period!

 

[Brass Balls]

Until just recently I would have said a Glock 30 or 21, of which I own both, but after recently buying a Sig 220 that opinion has changed in favor of the Sig. The P220 just feels better in my hand and I really like the fit and action of its slide. I'm not crazy about the DA trigger but in single action mine is pretty nice. That said though the Glock 21 has a lot going for it for a home defense gun as it carries 14 rounds and has a rail for a weapon mounted light.

 

[Tony Z]

Ruger P-90 Nuff said.

Looks like Sig 220 is in the big lead, CZ97 distant second, with Glock 21 off the charts. The only .45 I own or have experience with other than the 1911s is the Glock 21.

We all like winners, so I vote Sig 220
