I'm wanting a .45 1911 or maybe some other type of pistol for carry. Glocks are out of the question. Preferably a Compact or Commandeer type pistol. Welcome any opinions and suggestions. Thanks |
| I would consider sticking with a 5 inch barrel 1911 to keep the .45 highly potent. Velocity drops off rapidly with shorter tubes, but for a small DA look at a CS45, it tucks away nicely. Just keep in mind if you choose hollow point carry ammo, a 5 inch tube will be needed for it to perform. Otherwise you are better off with a wadcutter, flat nose or ball, all lead helps alot. |
I once had a SA Micro Compact and didn't like it at all. I'd like to stay at Commandeer size or above... just because I like the fullsize grip. I just found out the Tactical is aluminum and that pissed me off  . I believe i'm going to go with a Eclipse Pro II or Eclipse Target II. If Wilson made the CQB in commandeer i'd be set. I currently have the CQB fullsize but paid a lot for it and would hate to see it get banged up or something similar for CCW. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I like that, will have to get one. |

Much of what M199 said about .45 ACP ammo is true. But the Winchester Ranger loads (both 230 gr standard and +P) and the Speer 230 gr Gold Dot do well out of barrels down to 4". And now for a pistol opinion, which is what you asked about, I have always been fond of the Sig P220's. -Charging Handle |
