Quoted: I love both of these .45acp's and won't consider getting rid of either. I have a pretty sweet drop-leg holster I've used for the CZ 97 in winter with a longer coat for the woods/trails etc... Love the dampened recoil characteristics. The 4" ramped barrel 1911 is about the perfect concealable sized 1911 in my opinion/use... Of course, YMMV... https://i.imgur.com/d0viFjSl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aTndFJUl.jpg View Quote More ivory. Beautiful. |

1911.... is what you seek OP
I prefer higher end guns because there’s care and fitting of non MIM parts. A good starting point would be a Springfield TRP, I have several that my smith customized to my specs. My favorite is my Nighthawk Warhawk though... laser beam accuracy. Attached File |

There is no 1 right answer because it depends on your purposes, needs and motivation for selling? First question is, why do you have and/or want even 1 pistol chambered in 45ACP?
Is it because you prefer it for SD? If that's the case then keep the gun that you use most for that purpose. Its hard to argue against the G21 for that purpose unless you're talking CCW? Is it because you just like having some variety? If that's the case, I'd say keep which ever gun you enjoy shooting the most? Personally I find 1911's a lot of fun and it's a classic that I think every serious gun owner should have at least one of (unless of course your one of those tacti-cool guys that only keeps "tools" and don't believe in fun guns or collections). Everybody is going to have their own answer here and none of them are going to help you really. For me, my interest in the 45ACP is more about my love of the 1911. I picked up a G21SF because I'm also a Glock guy and figured if I'm going to have 45ACP on hand anyway then why not a G21 too? The other thing I think about when I'm considering selling something is... how hard would it be to replace later on if you get a bad case of seller's remorse? I have 3 45's... G21SF, DW Valor and Colt WWI repo. The G21 is my bedside gun but I would have no issue replacing it with something else I already have. That and I can always pick up another G21 later so it would be the easiest one for me to sell. The DW is the nicest one I have but again, it wouldn't be that hard to replace it with something as nice or better. The Colt is the one that would be the hardest to replace (particularly at the price I paid) so if I could only keep 1, it would be the Colt. All that said, I wouldn't sell any of them unless I really needed to or was going to use the funds for something I wanted even more? I certainly wouldn't sell any of them because of a temporary ammo shortage. |

But that being said I am not doing justice to the ones I have. Most of my .45 are Glocks, primarily because when I first got into the sport I was told that I was not allowed to have anything but. I do have some others but I don’t have any 1911, or HK or some of the other fancier items people mentioned here. Perhaps my question was geared more towards what was addressed in the beginning of this thread. Is there a single platform that will check all the boxes. And based on the discussion here I don’t think that is the case. My G21 is my carry go to. But I would prefer something that is suppressor friendly for HD. The HK and FNX are ideal for this. I even picked up an FNX and while it is great I would be hard pressed to carry it (I could but not comfortably). Additionally the triggers on the MK23 and the FNX leave something to be desired. May be I am spoiled because of my time spent with rifles, but have yet to find a pistol trigger that I like save the Shadow 2. That’s why I want to try a 1911. I have heard nothing beats those triggers, and I have seen some custom platforms that have decent capacity (I think I saw some with 13!). But then again would I suppress one and use for HD? Would I carry it knowing it’s going to get beat? Probably not. That being said, you’ve provided some pretty useful information, many thanks. I have yet to try a 1911, CZ97 or the Legion. I tried and purchased the FNX. Have the MK23 on order with my FFL. So far haven’t sold a single .45 I will most likely as the 1911 I am looking at are $$$, but to your point, I may end up with more than what I started with. |

The most accurate pistol I ever owned was a G21. I've owned 1911's in the past but could never shoot them that well, but I always wanted one regardless.
I decided I no longer wanted plastic pistols anymore and got a Sig P220 and a DW Vigil Commander and I don't regret the decision at all. I am as accurate with them both as I was the G21. Metal guns just have a more substantial feel, I feel like they charge too much for the plastic guns. The Sig P220 feels like a pig compared to the DW and am looking at selling it to fund an ACOG. |

Just decided a while ago that I don’t like junk guns and I don’t keep stuff I don’t like. I don’t like glocks. So for the price of 2.5 of them or so I got a baer that I do like. The. For the price of one more I got the grips. Whoops. Mine are an heirloom purchase. I bought the TRS when my son was born. Have carried it over 10k miles worth of road trips with him though like 15 states. Bought the ivory for my second son. Wanted him to have something with the same carry story but I’m not about to carry 2 guns. The wear, knocks and scratches add character bit detract value. Pics are already posted in this thread |

Maybe because both are mine This gun has been carried since just after my 5 year old son was born. it's been to I think 15 states and more than 10,000 miles of road trips.

I am sure 1911 are great hosts, however at $3-$5 k for a custom one I feel guilty beating them up with a suppressor. I know what cans do to rifles. In short HD is not the top application but as a bonus would be great, hence 1911 is at the top my list. Detailed analysis much appreciated BTW. |

However the G21 I currently use tucks away discretely and close by. Additionally I have found through experience that reaching and being ready with the pistol is intuitive. I believe this is simply because I have fired more rounds from this pistol compared to any long gun. I also believe that for people who put in the practice it is indeed a better option. Most of my rifle experience is long range. Generally I would agree with you that rifles are a better option for someone with more knowledge and practice than myself. |
