Suggestions for a 45 handgun

[zboys]

I'm busy as hell with work and don't have much time to shop the stores, I'm looking for a smallish 45, for everyday carry. What do you all recommend. I Don't want a Shield. And I am in Mass.
Does the Mill have regular hours when mostly all are open?

G30 Glock, any flavor.

G30 Glock, any flavor.

This. Can’t go wrong.

 

[Soundwave]

1911 obviously. You have to get an extended mag to even get to ten rounds. Commander or Compact not Government.

 

[Scuderia]

Glock 30 >1911 for carry IMO. Lighter, more reliable, higher capacity, and easier to conceal.

 

[S. Kelly]

S&W M&P 45c

Shitty trigger..

 

[Scuderia]

Eh that’s your opinion. My G30 trigger is fine and shoots like a laser beam. I can shoot lights out with it.

Can’t go wrong with a Smith and Wesson. Glocks are available here at MA rape prices, but worth the money.

Springfield XDs or e. E will be hard to find as discontinued (hammer fired polymer frame).

But does it really have to be 45? Some of the slickest CC pistols of this day are chambered in 9mm. IMO picking caliber first is not wise.

If you meet the right testosterone threshold, a 1911 is the only choice.

For those who can't quite reduce their estrogen enough, there are other options. But I'm not sure what they are.

I have a couple 9mm already, along with a 40 and a 1911
It's a matter of wanting, a smaller iwb 45

Glock 36, single stack .45. I see a couple of them for sale in WTS.

 

[Andy in NH]

G30 Glock, any flavor.

Agreed.

I think you misspelled “prune juice” threshold. Or is it the right benefiber threshold?

Yeah, yeah.

OP, a Glock will probably do you just fine, depending on your experience level and comfort with things like safeties and hammers.

I’ll second this. Same dimensions as a G19 which is considered by many as the perfect ccw size.

What did they ever do to you?

Get a 9, then drinks are free for you on ladies night..

 

[Varmint]

HK 45c. It's small if you're very large.

I had a M&P 45c but sold it. I honestly shot it like shit even after ditching the MA trigger weight. Currently have a Hk 45c and am loving it.
