What is your favorite 45 ACP pistol to shoot?

S&W 1911 E Series Stainless

Anything other than 1911 for 45ACP is just wrong...

Yes, I know it's technically not a pistol but my favorite would be the first centerfire handgun I ever owned and, luckily, still have. It's a Ruger Blackhawk, 1976 production with the "200th year..." markings on the barrel. It's been used hard for a lot of years. It remains a shockingly easy-to-shoot piece, something I'll grab whenever I just want to go to the range and decompress. When I want to put in more effort, there are other guns with which I can do better at longer ranges. But for just enjoying an hour standing up and punching paper, this may be the best I own.

Sig 220 or Glock 21. Have had both over the years, and liked them both. That Glock never jammed. Never.

May we infer that the Sig did?

Only once in a decade. Compared to my Springfield 1911 that choked on many of my 45 reloads the Glock sent downrange.

Most any made of metal.

The 45 ACP is such a great round to shoot, in just about any platform, but for me, it just shines in the 1911!

Both great guns, I've had a few samples of each. For the Glock - the G21SF is the winner to me. It feels better than the original, though I don't mind the original. I've also had the G30 and G30SF - the 30SF is a big upgrade over the standard 30, the feel is more pronounced to me with that gun. For a compact .45, the G30SF is a good shooter, like the M&P .45C

It’s had some work.

Yeah. Looks like you have the factory slide ported, and a non-ported aftermarket? Is that NP3'd, or what is the finish on there?

Never did understand the love for the 45acp.

One I traded for some years ago, and carried for a while, was a Springfield Armory XD Compact 45. It was a great shooting little pistol, and it carried quite well. But it suffered from what any compact pistol in 45 does, low magazine capacity, because of those short and fat cartridges!

NP3 by Robar. 100% of slide and internals. Trijicon Ghost Sights, LWD on the 10mm slide LWD Ghost Trigger. Magnaported
