I have a glock 21 and am looking for another .45 as my everyday carry. I want something smaller, a subcompact type package. What do you the knowers of all, suggest  ?

Quoted: G-36 if you wanna stay Glock or Kimber ultra carry (pre II) Though I like Glocks I don't like the 36 and the Kimber would be my #1 choice. Most 45's are going to be bulky and Avoid the Taurus 145. If you are considering the Kimber, do yourself a favor and look at the Colt Defender or New Agent, too. I've been quite happy with my New Agent, and it was less expensive than the Kimber offerings that day. |

Ya i didnt really like the feel of the 36, I like the xd subcompact but all i saw was 9mm didnt know if that came in .45 or not. but ill definetely look at the kimber, ill look at those too thanks gunny You might look at the Kahr in 45 also some people I know have them and like them. |

Quoted: Perhaps also consider the M&P45 compact. Big +1 on the M&P45c. I currently have a full-size and a compact .40 M&P that are great! The 45c would definitely be my choice for a sub-compact .45, the 4" barrel gives a good sight radius and is accurate along with making the gun handle very well. If you like your 21 you could always give the Glock 30 a shot. Use the same spare parts, mags, and ammo for the most part. |

While I have Colt's, Glocks, CZ's and others.....my most carried .45 is currently a Kahr PM45. Amazingly accurate for such a small handgun. I previously carried my Officers Model for nearly 30 years and the PM45 is like a feather compared to most of my previous carry guns. Also look at the CW45 if you don't want to spend as much money. Give the Kahr a good break-in and it won't let you down.

Don't overlook the 3rd gen S&W 45 autos. They're thin, light, well made and extremely reliable. They come in full size, compact and sub compact sizes and in DA and DAO. Here's my 4553 TSW, which has become my favorite carry gun. It's got a DAO trigger, that's short, smooth and light. It feeds anything and it's very easy to put shot after shot in the black.  |
