Best compact .45??

[Conley]

Looking to upgrade from the Glock 26. Wanting a .45 that I can carry, so probably a compact. Open to any suggestions. Would love a 1911 and don't wanna break the bank, but I also like the XD. Thoughts?

[jtmaze]

I have just purchased a metro arms 1911 four inch for less that $500. I was the same about breaking the bank. I have only run about 30-40 rnds thru it due to time but like the way it shoots better than my EDC XD40. Have not shot the Xd45 but going to the Inlaws for Xmas and David has one that I will get to try out. Will let you know in a few weeks.

Glock 30SF. Best ever.

I love the m&p .45c. I think it' a bit larger than a g26..... Similar to a g19. Very easy to conceal in the winter

[Guest msparks]

XD45c works for me. But then again any of the plastic guns will work. What ever fits your hands the best.

What do you plan to use it for?

[RobertNashville]

I have quite a few 1911s...I love 1911s...I carry a Glock.

Glocks aren't pretty but they almost always go "bang" when you pull the trigger plus for the money, they are hard to beat.

I too vote for the G30 (and I have one).

XDm 45 compact ... It just came out, and I just picked up my own today

IN LOVE

My XD45 is almost four years old. It's been dependable and shoots any ammo I've bought or reloaded. I like the thirteen round capacity.

This. However, I find the 45c just as easy to conceal in the summer with shorts and a T shirt. The right holster and belt make all the difference.

Glock 30SF. Best ever.

[graycrait]

VOCO FP-45 Liberator Pistol

If not the above I would go Glock:)

[SonnyCrockett]

SIG220 Compact is worth looking into

[dlm37015]

i have a detonics and it is a very good small 45 i dont know if they are dtill made or not

[daddyo]

Thread title should read "Your favorite .45 Compact". We're all going to disagree on which one is "the best".

[tugboat]

For the money and quality the Glock would me my answer!

[Guest buck7997]

+ 1 for the Kahr cw45. For the size, weight, and price it is a good deal. I also own a xd 45 and it is a great gun just a little heavy for carry for me. Glocks are good too I have a 19 never tried their 45.

[Armed Aviator]

I love my Colt .45 Officer's . . .Great shooter, and great carry

[reed1285]

im surprised nobody has mentioned the glock 36

[Curiousgb]

I am going to throw in the Taurus PT145. The one I have is inexpensive accurate and reliable. It has a 10 + 1 capacity. Is it the "best", I don't know but I have been impressed.

[BLACKVANDRIVER]

I love my S&W 625-10 2" Never ever a FTF or FTE (lol) light weight and easy to carry in the factory holster.

[peejman]

Love my PT145 (aka 24/7 compact).

[laktrash]

Dude you have a p245 and a cs45? Have you ever heard of sharing?

LOL these are my last to go guns. The cs 45 is way underated and still affordable $500 ish. The grips are not for everyone but the delrin grips can change that

BTW also have detonics combatmaster. I'm have a compact 45 fetish
