What's your favorite non-1911 45? Login/Join

Late 80s-early 90s Sig P220?

Ruger P345. Always think of it as a sleeper.

ASAI OnePro .45. Big problem=parts. Quite a few find the trigger problematic.

Probably my "One of 75" Sig Custom Shop P245:

Very nice! What model is that?

It's a S&W Model 625 customized by Kent Miller.

The 945 shoots outstanding, just as nice has my higher end 1911s (Wilson, Ed Brown, Les Baer, etc.)

DAO? How much weight did they get the trigger down to?

Another P90 fan here. Back in the day I WORE ONE OUT. And trust me, that ain't easy to do. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

P220 Equinox carry. Love it. 2nd choice on a non 1911 would be the Glock 21, gen 4.

Any old school 220, HK 45C, and Smith and Wesson 457. The 457 was a neat pistol. It carried light and shot easy for a lightweight .45

It's still DA/SA, but with the hammer bobbed so it won't snag on anything, for practical purposes it's DAO.

I bought it used and I don't have a trigger scale, so I don't know what the actual trigger weight is.
To guess, it's about half of what a standard S&W revolver from 20 years ago would be.

I need to take some better pictures, but this is definitely my favorite .45, if not my favorite gun overall at the moment. It's one of those contract over run P220 Carry SAO from a while back. Essentially the Carry Elite SAO, without front slide serrations. I missed them when they first came out, and finally got one from a member on here a little while ago. Really glad I did. Smile

Model # 220BR3-45-BSS-SAO

Just put new sights on it, Ameriglo Hackathorn setup, though I had to order the sights individually to get the #6/#8. Now I'm just trying to decide between Hogue G10 grips or Nill grips to finish it out.

I had a chance to inspect the 945 on Friday. I bought it sight unseen due to the rarity of one in cA, let alone NIB condition.

It's an incredibly nice pistol. The factory metal Performance Center case is also in new condition, 3 mags, trigger lock still in the wrapper.

I field stripped it... the bushing isn't too difficult to figure out.

I'll get to shoot it in a couple of weeks.

Other than the 220 my favorite owned .45 was the H&K .45 USP Compact.
I also had the full size H&K .45 USP at the same time but much preferred the Compact to it and shot it much better.

The tank, Ruger P90.


That's mine to KP90DC. It can hit quarters at 7 yards all day long.
