what is the best 45 pistol in your opinion?

[Fred Defender]

1911 x 2

Ding, ding, ding. And the prize goes to ZX9RCAM!

So is that like razors? Two blades are better then one, then three, four, five....

 

[RANDY_MARSH]

1911...


or maybe cz 97

this will satisfy both the purists and the mass market:

Just the thing for all you 45 freaks. If a 45 bullet is a "Stopper" how about 2 at once..... Cheap at $7600

More jam than a truck full of Smuckers .

If you can find a Sig in your budget I'd highly recommend you take a look at them.

The only 45 I've regretted selling was a West German made Sig P220. Butter.

Glad I sold my 1911.

You had to do it, didn't you?

Just to illustrate how illogical I can be - I have no desire for a P220 but I've always lusted after a Browning BDA .45, especially an early one with the heel-release magazine catch and lanyard loop.

The P220 I had was amazing. Somebody had done some work. The recoil was very light for a 45. It was the duo-tone, black frame and stainless slide and barrel. I regretted it before I left the parking lot after a trade.

Well, having searched around I have found one 1911 that I can't seem to stray from. It's a bit higher in price then I was hoping to spend, but now I can't see myself settling for less.

The Springfield 1911 TRP.

Almost every video I've watched and every review I've read says it's almost like shooting a custom 1911 and many have said that they have made it their favorite handgun, hell, even Hickok45 said he may have to make it his new hunting handgun. Because of the price I may have to wait to buy it, but I'd hate to be kicking myself if I don't.

 

[TheMailMan]

You'll love the TRP. I have one with a half rail. Shoots like a laser.

Ijust saying 1911 IMO isn't a good answer. From what I've seen there are good ones and bad ones

The more expensive and "custom" they are, the least likely they are to run right out of the box. Get yourself a Rock Island, or maybe a Ruger if you want to step it up a notch.

That's some wisdom, there, that also applies to many things beyond 1911s.

Well, with most 1911's I've had experience with, you can't really judge how good they really are until you've put a couple hundred rounds through it.

Correct! Not only does the pistol have to break-in, the shooter needs to "become one" with that particular gun. IMHO

Oh, you own a Land Rover, too?

Awesome, you guys just say that cause it's true...

More like a couple of thousand.
