| Which .45 do you like and why? |
|
I'll be different and say what .45 I use and love, the Taurus PT-945. Beretta style action, slim, comfortable, ultra reliable and accurate. Best part? $399 NIB with 3 mags. I have a 220 that I think is one of the best .45 combat pistols ever made, but its price was steep and it doesn't outperform my Taurus. |

In order: 1: 1911. It is what I have the most trigger time behind, and has the best trigger. I may consider that ParaOrd LDA CCW pistol, though. 2: SIG P-245. Choice for when legally limited to DA pistols for protection details. Started with a 239, but hate 9mms and .40s for no other reason than I hate 9mms and 40s. Big, heavy projectiles that move with authority are my stock in trade. SIGS generally have a nicer trigger than other DA pistols, IMHO, especially when the hammer has been cocked for an SA shot. 3: CZ-97. Can be carried cocked and locked, and CZs just feel right. Too big and heavy for concealed carry, though. |
| HK all the way. Haven't had a single malfunction with it after 800+ rnds. I can field strip it without tools. I also changed mine to variant #9 (I think that's the variant #) to get rid of the useless decocker. I've been tempted by 1911s before just because of the trigger and who know, I still might get one someday but my USP-45 is damn accurate as it is. |
I carry a HK USP40C for CCW 365 days a year. Not that hard to conceal with the right holster. I carry MOB 90% of the time with a High Noon IWB MOB holster and use a Galco Fletch High Ride when wearing a heavy/winter coat. |

"other" - I like all of the ones listed & then some. The nicest thing about having an extensive personal firearms battery is that you don't have to limit yourself to this or that - you can have this AND that... and one of those, and a couple of those, and I HAVE to have one of these... (think Rodney Dangerfield in the campus bookstore at the beginning of Back to School...)
