Yet another help me decide thread

[Guest dotsun]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a polymer .45 for CC. I'm strongly considering an XD compact, but wanted to see what you guys carry in .45. I'd like to keep the price around $600-$700 max, less is better.

[TripleDigitRide]

Being a big fan of the XD series, I'd suggest the XD 45 Compact (if a compact is what you want).

[nightrunner]

polymer frame .45 in compact or subcompact for under $700

Glock 30

Glock 36

XD-45 Compact

EAA Witness Polymer Compact

I really like the M&P.

[Guest pherman926]

I have both the Glock 30 and the XD 45 compact. I prefer the way the XD feels in my hand so I carry it instead`of the Glock, but you couldn't go wrong with either. Try and shoot as many different guns as you can and find out which works best for you.

Good luck.

S&W M&P

If you want a .45 compact it is suppose to be available next month.

[Guest flyfishtn]

Don't have the compact but I do have the XD in the service size. Really enjoy shooting and carrying it but I am contemplating adding a compact to the stable.

+ 1 on the M&PC

[molonlabetn]

The Midsize M&P-45 is out... it is a good carry size, I got to fondle one at Hero-Gear the other day and was impressed.

[R1100R]

What about the new FNP-45?

[molonlabetn]

The FNP-45 is pretty big... it's about as concealable as a Glock 21 would be.

[TGO David]

I'd wait and look at the new M&P 45c (compact) as suggested by others in this thread. The 4-inch M&P 45 is nice but it's still a tad large for concealment in my opinion.

You could get three Hi-Point .45's

[Guest dotsun]

If I got some high pointz I'd want em in fully foty. I wonder if Mars could model 3 of those stuffed into his thunderwear?

Did someone say they wanted those pictures? He had to model like that in order to become a moderator.

Don't forget about the Kahr P45. Polymer and compact.

[Guest Boomhower]

polymer .45

No you did not just put those 2 words together.

[The Rabbi]

Don't forget about the Kahr P45. Polymer and compact.

I'll second this and add the CW45: polymer, compact, .45acp, and affordable.

[Guest darkstar]

Rabbi beat me to it...Kahr CW45....very decent gun, affordable, easily concealed, and a very easy shooting gun for a compact .45

[Guest canynracer]

Kahr CW45

M&P 45c

[Guest eyebedam]

45 M&P. I got to handle the other day and its really nice. Plus with the interchangable backstraps I'm sure there's one to make it feel really good in your hand.

[Guest dotsun]

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions guys. I'll see if I can't find a Kahr and an M&P to fondle this week.

[Shima]

I got the Kahr CW45 and I like it for a compact, affordable, polymer .45 It breaks down easy. It's light weight. I paid $456 OTD. If you get the Hogue Handall Jr. grips, it shoots fairly comfortably. $10 well spent. Good luck in your hunt and purchase.

[Shima]

I was just looking online at my next .45 auto the Glock 36. That looks pretty compact as well. Its single stack mag is a turn off to the high-cap Glock fans, but I like a slim grip. You can get the aftermarket mag extender which makes the capacity 7+1.
