In terms of accuracy and reliability, what do you consider to be the best .45 ACP semi-auto available today –– and why so? (There are so many platforms and manufacturers that I'm not even going to attempt a poll.)
|
|
Are you attempting to purchase the best or is this just another quagmire?
|
|
|
Before this is over someone will have mentioned every single manufacturer as "the best".
|
|
IMO the SIG P220.
I used to have a couple of them; they were accurate, extremely reliable, and a joy to shoot. |
|
Everyone that posts 1911 should be banned if they don't list a make and model.
|
|
I will throw this out there and get an obscure one out of the way:
CZ-97b. I know there are better makes out there, I just love mine. Great value for the money. |

Sig 220
Mine is more reliable than any other 1911 I have ever had. |

I do not own one but I've heen able to shoot an XD 45 a few times.... I liked it. As far as it being the BEST I dunno

Someone has to say it:
HK45. Honorable mentions: Les Bear Thunder Ranch Special (yes, that's a 1911). Sig P220 (West German only). |

I absolutely love my HK45, the grip is just freakin' awesome and it shoots really well also, and is pretty much unbreakable.
|
|
Quoted: IMO the SIG P220. It is absolutely the best .45 ACP ever made. Because this is what I carry. |
|
I had a Colt Combat Commander, that thing sucked donkey balls. I have a Springfield Loaded 1911, it's been flawless. I also have a CZ 97B, also flawless. Sometimes I think I prefer the CZ. It feels bigger in the hand than the 1911, due to the doublestack mag, but it handles and shoots great. I used to have a S&W 745, it ran like a top and was very accurate.
|
|
If you say 1911, then that will open a whole new can of worms.
|
|
Glock 21SF
Tough finish, supreme reliabilty, very accurate and holds plenty of ammo. |
|
Quoted:
Not very common but you can still buy them and they kick the shit out of almost all 45's. Smith Performance Center pistols are among the very best. Extremely durable, reliable and accurate: http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i24/SkagSig40/100_1383.jpg A Smith and Wesson Auto??? Your joking right, those things are terrible... |
|
Quoted: 1911. Reason? It's what God shoots. +1 This. ETA: I have had good luck with my Kimber |
|
3rd Gen S&W, I have a 4506 w/adj sights nad a 4566 with night sights. Never bobble, hit where you aim. Love the steel S&W!
