45acp pistol help

[323MAR]

For accuracy : Sig P227 and HK 45 or HK45C

Right on the money! You also get the reliability that is legend. There is also an HK USP .45 out there with over 400,000 rounds through it! Only springs have been changed out.

How does it shoot.

+1 on the CZ 97B. All steel and great ergonomics.

just a suggesttion but what about calling at some of the indoor range to see what guns they have as rentals in 45acp so you can try before you sink $$$ into pistol and mags.

Looking to get another 45 acp other than a 1911. Any suggestions. Price point 6-800. Looking for a good and accurate shooter. I know there's a lot out there but just want to hear from people about what's out there. Again needs to be accurate. Don't want a spray pistol that can't group worth a crap.

FNX-45. I love mine. it is a tack driver.

How does it shoot.

Makes holes. Top was the girlfriend slow fire @ 7 yards, bottom was me shooting as soon as I could find the front post half at 7 yards, other half at 12 yards. Recoil is quite manageable. I like it.

Going to do a few mags of slow fire within the next day or so.

45 on top, 3.8 9mm in middle, XDs 45 on bottom.

Nice. I have a couple SA myself. Loaded 1911 and my baby xds bitone 45 goes everywhere with me. That is my favorite carry pistol I have.

Is that two sheets of paper?

 

[lsufan1971]

I have both an M&P 45 and a FNX 45. Both are great guns. The FNX has 15 Rd mags and is pretty darn accurate out of the box. If you wanted to stop up a notch I agree with others on the HK 45 series.

Yup. Redneck targets. Lol

This is me at 7 yards with my glock when I was sighting it in. The bottom index card is after it had been sighted in. Spray glue and colored index cards are really nice to use for speed shooting.

Check out the CZ 97.

Nice. That's a good idea, I'll have to try it out.

I enjoy my G21 and M&P 45, both well under that price range. Usually I throw price out, in favor of what do I get for my money. I din't find much advantage in anything that was more expensive than either of mine. I like how the XD shoots, but it isn't as comfortable to me as my M&P. HK and Sig are nice if you need to spend more money just to do it.

May get a good 45c m&p at a good price. Does it shoot well.

Nice spray glue what kind and where u bought it. That's a good idea.

 

[Jack]

Walmart, it's just adhesive spray. It is usually in the crafts section. That is an idea that vanilla gorilla gave me.

I have to throw another vote in there for the Glock 21. I grew up shooting a 1911. (Not a lot of shooting, but that's what my dad taught me with, then I bought my own.) I decided to by a used G21 just to try out the "polymer" thing. Now I shoot all polymer and my 1911's sit on the shelf.

I don't shoot it as much as my 17, but the G21 is my favorite Glock. I am actually going deer hunting with it the next few weekends. Besides being really accurate the 21 is a soft shooter. My wife never liked my 1911's, but from the first mag she took to the 21. That even though it is a Gen 3 with the big grips.

My recommendation would be to go to a range that has a Gen 4 21 and 41. See which you like the best. I will likely pick up a 41 in the future.
