.45 suggestions.

Noooooo, thread title is clear.

[lookout123]

I'm a Sig or H&K person myself, but Springfield makes some fine weapons. I know the owners and have family sprinkled throughout the production line.

Sorry, I'm decimal deficient. It's still 44 to go.

Will someone please post about my new gun!?

rk, I have Sig P245, I like it. It is very accurate out of the box and needs no "tunning" or upgrades like most of the Colt look-a-likes. My only complaint is the weight, I wish it were a bit lighter.

The only exception to that IMO would be Kimber Ultra Compact ll. Kimbers are a bit pricey.

I have an HK USP which is more of a combat hand gun similar in size to an officers model. I really do love the HK's.

I would like to get the HK compact in .40 but it is hard to justify with owning the Sig.

I am a hard core .45 guy but I would take a good look at .40 cal hand guns. Many federal agents and LEO's now carry the .40 in a number of different manufactures and makes. All of the studies have proven the effectiveness of the stopping power of the .40 in real life situations. My wife has and sometimes carries a Sig 229 in .40.

I would take a good look at the Subcompacts Glock G30 (.45) or the G27 (.40). I found the 27 hand grip to short for my big assed paws.

The 30 just barely fit, but it was lightweight and I could imagine it would be comfortable to carry.

The larger handgrip models the G23 would be a great gun but it is also in .40.

Bottom line is how much you want to spend. That will dictate all of your options.

That HK looks a lot like my old weapon. I really am lookin' at that. How is the weight/balance on it?
Yeah, Kimbers are out of my league, but sweet. Like that 1911.

Weight and balance are perfect. In fact I think they are a bit better than my Sig. They have a double slide spring that reduces recoil. I only have the full size model but I really want to check out the compact.

You should get one like this rkz. It looks pretty cool.

[TheMercenary]

The .45 APC (automatic colt pistol) is the modern style .45 that 95% of all .45's use. The other is the .45 Colt which is rimmed and is found only in revlover western style handguns now a days. Then the variations go up from the standard .45 that we know to the expanded hunting rounds that would still be considered .45, but that is another subject.

[Aliantha]

I will be looking at the compact. I have two really sweet concealed spots on the chair. Plus I am cold all the time, so I wear a jacket a lot.
I also wear khakis with large side pockets often. Lots of spots.
On the chair I will permanently mount the holster for it. Much easier.
