So I have 2 permits coming my way.

 

I currently own a G19.

 

Looking to get something in 45ACP. I'd prefer to get something that can accept mags with a bit higher round count, in the unfortunate event that these idiots pass anything.

 

I do like Glock, but I am open to anything. I know 1911s are the defacto choice for 45acp, but I'd like something with at least 10 +1.

 

Looking to spend around 1k or less.

 

Any help would be awesome.

sig sauer P220...

Smith and Wesson M&P or Springfield Armory XD

Also jtcustomguns has a nice EAA Witness at a decent price point

Glock 21... you already have a 19, now get one of these. It's a common platform, you know the trigger, you know the reliability.

1911 with chip mcormick 10 round mags.

Another for the Springfield XD, 13+1. Was my first pistol purchase 2 yrs ago. Though I'm partial to .45's, all of 4 mine are either .45 acp or lc

Do you really need more than 8 with a .45 cal? Just how big a hole do you need to put in that bad guy ?

 

I've got a Glock G22 which holds 15+1, but am in the process of getting a really nice Kimber 1911 and I think the 8+1 will be more than fine.

Picked up an FNX-45 recently.. Good price.. 15+1 cap.. Not as big as you may think..SA/DA capability..

+1 for the S&W M&P. I love mine, my favorite gun.

1911 with chip mcormick 10 round mags.

 

and Wilson Combat mags too

Keep in mind that double stacking a 45's gonna make that grip much bigger. Good to goto a shop and actually feel one out. If you got big hands, disregard what I said. Not a high-cap choice, but I'd get a 1911. You know eventually you'll get one. The G19's already your high-cap option for the moment.

Springfield xdm! My buddy just got one it is sweet.

CZ97

The 1911 issue is easy to solve...Get the 1911 of your choice..Get Tripp 10 round 1911 mags (I have full size 1911; check to see what is available for other size 1911s)...The Tripp mags are the best of the best even better then Wilson mags which are also great.

FNP45. 15 rounds of 45ACP goodness. You need big hands though. Great gun. Hammer fired with a safety decocker.

Beretta PX4... standard magazine capacity is nine rounds, but they ship with one nine and one ten rounder. Very comfortable grip for a .45...

What do you think of the 4" barrel accuracy? I have one in 45 and it is an very nice gun...But not as accurate as my 5" 1911s...And I am saying tightness of groups.

Glock 21 gen 4 I have one and it shoots soft and very well, if you like the Glock platform its an excellent choice!

Sometimes bad guys travel in packs like wolves. Glock 21, 13+1 can handle a pack of bad guys. Easy to clean and maintain, reliable.

Fair enough, but my Siberian Husky pack should probably be able to hold them off for the fraction of a second it takes to pop in another magazine

HK45 or HK45 compact for 10 + 1.

 

USP45 for 12 + 1.

Oops wrong post.

+1 S&W M&P .45. Comes with 3 adj grips. I think one of the best feeling 45s.

If I do my part, it is very good.

 

I really don't keep major track of groups, but if I have to give a guess, I can easily do under 2" groups at 15 yards. I did pretty good in a fun shoot at SS a few years back. At that time, I had 200 rounds through the gun... but just got it back the same day from CCR (plated the metal, but I also had night sights added). I was actually shocked, being I didn't shoot the gun too much (was at CCR for two months), and I wasn't sure on the sights.

 

My 9mm, which I shoot more, is ok with the 4" barrel. I have a 4.5" stainless barrel, which I do notice a little better accuracy... but it is a match barrel.

Kimber 1911

CZ 97! 10+1 capacity double stacked magazine so the grip has a little meat to it. Definitely spend some time looking. I love this pistol and have no complaints. My buddy has tried it out as well and the first time he was so so about it and now he is giving some serious thought to getting one. Try and shoot a few different models if you can.

Don't forget about the new Sig 227 that's coming out this year. It's basically a "high-cap" P220 that hold 10+1 if I recall correctly.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

 

So I think I'm going to look at these guns in no particular order :

 

G21

Sig 227

M&P45

1911 w/ 10 rnd mags

 

Those seem to be among the "available" firearms right now.

 

I'd love to check out the HK45, but that o ring has me sketched out... Anyone have any experience with it? What happens if you lose it?
