New 45 acp

[tk71]

I am looking to add another 45 acp to my collection just looking for opinions. I have been looking at a glock 21 gen 3. I do not want a 1911 I already have one that has some issues. I want something that will shoot reloaded ammo reliably. Something that can handle thousands of rounds before it breaks.

Steel or Poly framed?

I have an EAA Witness in 45 ACP that has run completely flawless. I would also suggest looking into the SAR K2. I've heard nothing but great things.

If you're thinking of a plastic framed pistol, I would suggest Kahr (for compact) or Glock (because they always work).

New or used? I have a S&W 4506-1 that will eat anything and besides the occasional spring change out should out live me.

A G21 or G41 will burn up pretty much anything ammo wise, and do it accurately. No lead though per the manual, not with the factory barrel anyways.

Wow quick reply thanks I am open on the frame I will take a look at what you suggested I have looked at cz style pistols in 9mm and liked them.

FNX? 15+1 of .45ACP is never a bad idea.

I have a new Glock 41 and it's pretty sweet.
If you look around, they can be had for about $599 new.

The M&P 45 is a possibility. Never shot a full sized one, but I did shoot the C-model.
I would not recommend the C-model. Nice, but hard felt recoil.
Glock 30S was kinda brutal like that too.

The Glock 21 is a definite favorite .45acp handgun in my book. I owned the Gen4 and have nothing but good memories with it. I sold it to fund another project, but I see myself buying another in the future.

If it were me I'd be getting a CZ 97BD.

I have a Sig P220 and an HK45, they are both great pistols, and I have never had a problem with either one of them being picky on ammo.
Good luck on your quest and let us know what you end up with.

+1 For the Glock 21. I have a Gen4 and it is easy to shoot and 100% reliable.

 

[bmbutch]

Like my M&P45c, really like my HK45c, my HK45 is shooting bliss!

 

[jwh20]

I have a Glock 21 Gen 2 which I've had for a long time. Love it! I also have a Springfield XDs, which is an excellent CCW. Great shooter but very compact.

Another vote for the Sig 220

Second the M&P45c. Shot mine at the range just yesterday and it has been uber reliable. It gobbled up every round like candy and begged for more like a youngster on a sugar buzz.

It handles good and I don't have any issues with excessive felt recoil. I enjoy shooting it. YMMV
