The vector pistol, because you only live once. Or maybe a converted webly 
Lots of fun and a little bit of neat factor. Or forget acp, tear the space time continuum and go for a single action army. .45 lc is a blast to shoot and a little class never hurt anybody. BBQ example

You already have two of my favorite 45's, the FN Tactical and 1911. The HK USP Tactical is nice also, or the newer HK45. The Sig P220 is also nice, the 227 for extra capacity is decent too. Actually I'd probably go with a STI Tactical pistol if I was you, love those guns and extra capacity of the standard 1911. I was looking at the Wilson Combat Texas BBQ Special pistol the other day, and damn if that wasn't a nice ass gun. I just don't have the $5K it's worth, ha. The S&W M&P 45 is also nice, put an APEX trigger kit in and it's sweet.

G30
Yes I know it is striker fired and it fits the hand with all the grace of a brick . I am a long time 1911 lover and as much as I tried to hate the G30 I just shoot it so well I have to give it lots of respect. Reasonable price ,great resale , great factory support and great aftermarket support and it sort of defines reliable ,plain and boring but it's a shooter |

I'd recommend either a Sig P220 as a single stack option or an HK USP45 for hicap. My Sig has a really sweet factory trigger, but my HK USP 9mm is 16 years old and still runs like it's brand new. I recently replaced the recoil spring but after comparing them the old one looks as good as the replacement.
I also have an older CZ97B, it's big n heavy but has a great SA trigger. Has a long DA trigger pull which doesn't fit everyone's hand. Trigger feels a lot like a S&W N frame revolver. No bad choices here. I'd also looked at a used or new S&W .45acp revolver. They're nice, but more than I'd want to pay just to shoot cheap .45acp. If I'm spending that much I'll go with another mod.29 and start reloading .44mag again. I went with a Ruger Blackhawk convertible. Not really a big fan of single action cowboy guns, just liked the fact it didn't need mooncliips. |

Thanks everyone for all of the replies, I've been thinking about this and the winner is a Kriss Vector SDP in 45. It has no practical purpose but to become an SBR (it'll be form 1'd for sure) but I know I'll get a shit eating grin every time I shoot it.
When the bonus check comes in December it'll be time for a USP in 45. |

For a reasonably priced gun look at the Ruger SR1911 full size or Commander size. I have the LW 9mm Commander and it's a wonderful gun. I'm a 1911 45ACP guy at heart but the 9mm LW Commander is great for carry. I also have a STI Ranger II 45ACP all steel Commander and a Colt 45ACP LW Commander. After an adjustment to their extractors they are now 100% reliable with JHPs. If you want a less expensive 1911 look at the RIA line, very good guns at great prices.

Okay, I saw about the hammer/striker, but really, if you want a work-a-day .45 auto that can 'take a lickin' and keep on tickin', how about the new Ruger American? Its a good-looking polymer/striker that addresses many of the shortcomings in similar pistols and was designed and built to be a service pistol. It has a milled steel chassis instead of the usual stamped steel or milled aluminum. There are a number of other features that are good, such as the grip adjusting backstraps.

I'd say get a USP45 Tactical, but you'd wind up never shooting your FNX
CZ97 is the other obvious answer, but you'll be in danger of ditching your 1911 if you go that route. SAR K2 45 if you're willing to risk NEVER needing service from EAA, who are dickbags. The gun is freaking sweet. If the all stainless version makes it stateside for similar money to the black one ($400-$500ish) I'd be hard pressed to pass it up, and I HATE EAA after the debacle that was my SAR B6Pc. But really OP, if you don't have a USP Tactical, and love the .45ACP round, you're missing out on what is very possibly the best gun ever made for it. Barrel threads are the same as the Kriss you're getting also, FYI. Get a 45 suppressor regardless of anything else. Sooner you start the paperwork, the sooner it will get done. |

I didn't know EAA had bad customer service? I dealt with them a few times awhile back and they were chill as hell and handled business. Only place better is RIA. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'd say get a USP45 Tactical, but you'd wind up never shooting your FNX
CZ97 is the other obvious answer, but you'll be in danger of ditching your 1911 if you go that route. SAR K2 45 if you're willing to risk NEVER needing service from EAA, who are dickbags. The gun is freaking sweet. If the all stainless version makes it stateside for similar money to the black one ($400-$500ish) I'd be hard pressed to pass it up, and I HATE EAA after the debacle that was my SAR B6Pc. But really OP, if you don't have a USP Tactical, and love the .45ACP round, you're missing out on what is very possibly the best gun ever made for it. Barrel threads are the same as the Kriss you're getting also, FYI. Get a 45 suppressor regardless of anything else. Sooner you start the paperwork, the sooner it will get done. Didn't even know I wanted one
Not to get too off topic, but I got a SAR B6Pc from CDNN. The front frame insert broke in less than 200rds. They would fix it if I shipped it to them on my dime. I asked if they would just send me the $20 part, I'm an FFL, I have a full time gunsmith, who has done this exact repair before on your shitty gun. Nope. OK, fine, I'll just buy it. Can I buy another 13rd mag for it? No, we only sell 10rd mags in CO. We know its not the law, we just do it that way anyway. I fixed, and sold the gun, for a very small loss. The K2 is sooooo nice though... I still want one. Grip the size of an M9 but holds all that 45, the one we had in the store had an amazing trigger, and was crazy accurate. And I think its a damn fine looking pistol. But EAA's seeming lack of any interest in fixing or replacing a defective gun left a very sour taste in my mouth. |

I really like my Sig P227. I ended up selling my Glock 41 because I shot the Sig so much better. The Glock 41/21 frame is just a little too big for my Carny hands.

So I've been stocking up on my .45 ACP as two of my favorite handguns (FNX-45 Tactical and a Kimber Stainless Pro TLE II) are chambered in the round. I've been getting the itch to purchase another pistol in .45 but I'm just not sure what I want. I've thought about another USP (have one in .40) but it's more of the same. I prefer hammer fired DA/SA or SAO handguns, is there something I should really take a look at that the members of arfcom recommend? Upfront, I like Sig rifles, not as big on the handguns. There is only one DA/SA handgun in .45 ACP worth owning. (not my pic) http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t307/dexternikki/Smiths/MusicEvents110.jpg S&W 1917. If you're looking strictly for semi autos tracking down a EAA Witness match elite is always a good investment. Affordable pistols but give the accuracy of match guns that cost much, much more. The 1917 is pretty awesome... Check out S&W's model 626 "Mountain Gun" as well. It's a really sweet .45acp revolver... |

Cz 97 Or this: https://www.cdnnsports.com/eaa-sar-k2-45acp.html?___SID=U I can certainly vouch for the 97B model. It's more accurate than my semi-custom Springer Loaded model. I like the idea of carrying it cocked N' locked, or on half cock, or even hammer down in DA mode. The trigger has obviously been polished at the factory. The chamber ramp and barrel throat has as well and is polished to a mirror/glass surface. It feeds every hollowpoint I've tried. The only thing I didn't like about it was the front fiber optic sight. A robust pistol like the 97 series shouldn't have a fragile FO front sight... YMMV. So, I ordered a set of Tru-Dot's from CZ custom. I like it just as much as the aforementioned 1911. 10+1 capacity is nice as well... ETA: Pic goodness... The CZ family...

EAA warranty service is notoriously horrible. If you think you've heard bad stories about shitty companies such as Taurus... then double the worthlessness for EAA. You better hope your new K2 doesn't need warranty service. If it does, just pay to have it fixed. Good luck! |
