If I could only own five handguns in .45 ACP, these would be it. There are a lot of good options out there that were not included in this list. Out of all of them, the 1911 is my favorite followed closely by the Glock 21. If you have any suggestions or comments please leave them below. Thanks for watching.

[@harrydexter8426]

Good comments. I was issued a 1911 in my career. I was permitted to carry a Glock 21. After my retirement I was required to carry a M&P. The 1911 is capable of the best trigger jobs. All 3 firearms, mentioned above are very reliable. But my heart goes to the 1911!👍🇺🇸😊

[@terryl8447]

I realize they can be a little scarce but the 45 everyone should own is a SigP220. I have one from the early 2000s before the 320 got Sigs absolute attention. By far the most accurate 45 out of the box ever. A true piece of machinery.

[@fadedjate7230]

One of the best handguns ever made.

[@antoniotula262]

I agree regarding the accuracy, not only from comparison articles I read from magazines in the 90s, but my best friend had one. It was an absolute beast to shoot with the 230gr fmj we had. The Hogue grips he bought later helped a little, but I was done after half a box. I was around 190lbs back then. I later shot both a Bersa metal frame .45 & a Glock 21, both had much less recoil than the P220. The Rangemaster at the time asked for 5 rounds & showed us what that P220 could do. This was when .40s first came out & he shot tight groups with my shiny new Taurus PT100 too.

Dude you are absolutely right! I own the USP in 9mm and .45, as well as the 45 C, and the Glock ain’t even in the same league……in my humble opinion! I do own the Glock too, and it’s great, but an Hk it is not!

Love the 1911 treated myself to a gold cup trophy last year, sweet perfection!

[@johnnyray5981]

I am a 25 year Army vet, I have carried them in combat and have privately owned M1911s. Please stay to the Military standard. Why?, they takedown and clean like a soldier needs; simply, no problems. Some find the .45 Mil Std as hard to assemble or disassemble, just be aware it takes a few times to be proficient. It is easy to use, has a look that means business (deterrent factor), most battles in a home happen 15 feet or less, so you just point and pull. If you miss, fire again, fire again, fire again, the felon left two shots ago. Even if you don't hit the target the thug will not be back. If you hit the person, in the ear or pinky they will go down. They are designed by the US Army with a "knockdown" effect to fell drugged up Morowai Tribesman on the island of Mindanao over a hundred years ago. My wife speaks the Morowai dialect, she is a Filipina. Funny never realized i would marry the family of the tribe which caused the US Army so much trouble post 1898. The .45 acp mil std is a winner all the way around. Peace, hope you don't have to pull in self defense... if you do, it will serve you well. Why the US Army had this in inventory from 1917 til now.

street75 lafayettestreetcars Is talking to the mirror. Total projection. He sees his own failings everywhere he looks. Of course, he never thinks he is talking about himself, but he is. I'd put money down that everything is someone else's fault and none of it his. Probably lies all day long and blames everybody around him when his lies go south. I have a daughter just like that so I know the type too. The other two turned out pretty well. It's a crap shoot so I guess two out of three is a decent average... The only good thing about my oldest daughter is that she drove the whole family together in order to defend ourselves against her when we could have all just slowly drifted apart. Now we're all tighter than ever and she's standing outside looking in. Screwed herself again. It's genetic though and written in stone. There ain't no cure except for God himself. I'm not holding my breath.

[@divineiamking]

The 1911 is always on top of the list. Every other gun is a son, step son or grandson of the 1911. The most idea would be a custom made 2011. Its on a 1911 platform, .45 acp, with 14 rounds. Other than that, I think the FN is next up.

[@a4t7ford]

While I see your point, I would say that the Glock is more like a distant cousin as it is striker fired. And not a cousin I would care to know ;) Also I would say the Colt Double Eagle is more like a "brother" to the Colt 1911, with a few subtle (or not so subtle) differences that make it a better gun than the 1911 (at least IMO).

Not sure how there isn't an HK in that top 5. I've owned a bunch of 45s, and HK USP or HK45 is at the top of my list.

[@cjohnson9211]

HKs have always been good guns with so-so triggers

[@elliottbutts153]

HK USP45, one of the best ever made!

[@romeocazares6459]

Just got the m&p full size 45 and i love it

[@kevtanjohnson]

All are great guns. I have a Springfield Armory XD 45. One of the best pistols I own.

[@danielhaire6677]

Should try the new SIG Sauer P227R. 10+1 rounds of .45 ACP in the best Sig to date.

[@googlrgoogle1436]

All gun owners ,need to show Wal mart how much clout gun owners have

[@ytubeerr]

Amen I already have

[@shawnschulz8441]

How do ya mean i know they have been nothing but a pain and aggravation to the max when try to buy a f,in gun and good at drawing the process out for hours if you want to stay and put up with the ignorant of the facts type of person that you seem to have won that day.oh and no other day being different.but i would like to know how we could do that.thank ya sir

[@briandaniel931]

How much is that

[@briandaniel931]

How

[@scottlawson9206]

My absolute FAVORITE .45 handguns are the HK45 Tactical, HK45C, and the S&W 625.

[@martinwall7297]

yass-umm another great review, keep-em coming !

[@ericjohnson4745]

The Remington R1 now comes in 15 + 1 double stack! :)

[@parquetman]

No H&k? No Sig Sauer? No Springfield? 1911 not from Colt? What an odd list......

[@donniehill3952]

+Geraldo Neto He's not really into the collectors set lol. the springfield and sig got me, but the colt is way over priced..

[@44357514]

+Dennis Rogers - Actually the price of Brand new Colt 1911 pistols can be purchased for less than people are selling used Colt 1911 pistols for. Prices have come down on Colts.

[@williedontcare3374]

i figure it's mostly about the type of guns that shoot .45. besides, only about a dozen dudes that watch this channel own usp .45s, and why would anyone want a pistol that goes off whenever?

[@CarolinaLowrider]

willie don't care It only goes off "whenever " by people carrying it who don't know what the hell their doing, and shouldn't be handling it in the first place!!!

[@ChiKrew_]

the sig 320 is what he was referring to, which would fire when dropped

[@anonymousiv7373]

My first gun purchase was a G21G4. No regrets for this man stopper.

[@alfonsobenitez8574]

I lost an arm in 1976 in the war in Angola, came to the USA over 30 years ago, I went to the range with a friend that have a Glock 45 acp, I shot few rounds and that gun almost break my wrist. I own a 20 yo Kimber Ultra Carry II 45 ACP, I could shoot one hundred rounds and it feel like a glove in my hand. It is a 7 rounds magazine, 8 with one in the chamber, i bought three Wilson Combat magazines, one is a 7 round and the other two are 8 rounds, i reload my 45 acp and love my Kimber, i heard the new Kimber quality control are not as the old ones, i have only put 1, 200 round through this gun. I love iy.

[@TransformersHoarder]

Does this list still hold true or have any been knocked off this list and replaced with something better? The CZ 97B is still a favorite of mine I know that much.

[@lumpyzx2645]

Everything on this list is not as good as the HK USP45, I haven't seen the whole video yet, I'm only to the FN, but I'm sure everything on this list is a good choice, 1911 is definitely cool and still relevant but it's outdated, they're heavy, only hold 7+1 or 8+1, and compared to a lot of other pistols they aren't the most reliable (although I've only personally seen a 1911 jam twice and that was with steel case), either way you still can't go wrong with a 1911, they are a proven design.

[@Hawgacydal]

Nice selection, I would like to have seen the Springfield XD 45 in the lineup though!!

[@patrickdeforest5522]

That is a great video. Lots if good, un biased information.

[@phildegraves3326]

I have an M&P 45…its a nice piece…Love this channel btw…

[@SteveFlanigan]

Love the .45 revolver. I own a S&W .45 Model 1917 revolver. It was my Grandfather's service revolver when he was in the Army back in the early 1900's. It still shoots like a charm and I would never part with it.

[@danconnaughty2225]

theres nothing more refreshing than a glock fanboy willing to admit he had been wrong about their main rival and can recognize it's merit. im a glock fanboy myself but why limit yourself to one platform there are so many awesome guns out there

[@Frantissimo]

I have an odd mindset because I want one lower than can convert to many calibers I want just one lower and swap slides/barrels and bam new gun. minimizes luggage out to the range. unfortunately not many pistols can do this which sucks but best are glock and 1911 one day ill have my cz75 in 45 one day

[@bunjicarlin1]

They all kill and maim...and as long as it's not made in China your ok

[@Mandalore06]

Good video! I'd be interested to see an updated version.

[@CharlesHepburn2]

Thank you… very helpful video! I have my eye on the FNX 45 tactical. Although you said in the video those guns break and the parts are expensive and rare… that’s pushing me more towards the CZ or the S&E M&P.

[@jstark5128]

Sig 220 or the series 70 Colt. My two cents worth.

[@davidpelton1885]

***** Agreed! Sigs are great guns and beat glocks all day long. BUT...for a short range combat scenario, a glock is still adequate! I mean, give me a break! At 7', how much accuracy do you need to pump two shots to the heart and two to the head in 4 seconds? Only problem with glocks? Stovepipes! Which could get you killed in a serious exchange of gunfire! Which is why I don't own a glock. Only experienced one stovepipe with a glock in over 1000 rounds, but that is too many!

[@davidpelton1885]

David Pelton And SERIOUSLY people, I you experience even ONE malfunction, failure to feed, stove pipe, or what ever that renders your gun unable to fire and is NOT related to junk ammo, you need to either get the gun fixed, or junk it!! And I don't care if that is in 1000 or 25000 rounds. If you keep your gun clean, properly lubricated and feed it good ammo, there is NO acceptable reason for it not to function 100%! But some guns are notorious for not being able to do so, such as Kahr!!

[@sigoutdoors2013]

***** The Sig 220 is one of my three main carries.

[@joejazz67]

j stark I know those are my two favorites although I do like the M&P 45 too definitely on my to buy list in the future

[@FredC1968]

+Lee Harvey Oswald Ed Brown pistols are an example of the issue with new 1911 pistols. In order to get a high quality one, you will pay. Ed Brown makes a great 1911.

[@kingamorie1790]

I carry a Ruger SR45 and it is an awesome gun!!

[@beandagunnar6672]

King Amorie I got one back in December and I love it.

[@JS-xs5hq]

Those are fine weapons chambered in the .45 ACP, but I am surprised that Sig did not make your lineup. I suppose it's a matter of preference. Thanks for the video.

[@patwalsh2868]

Thanks ERIC, great video topic, n you picked some sweet ‘45’s ‘ keep your Passion to teach !!! I watched that video with you n Jerry explaining the 940 Pro , again last night !!! It must feel like sitting with Royalty, doing a video with the Man !!! I enjoy your content very much, thanks Bro !! Patrick from Commy Ct. 😷💥🔫 I’m going to make the JM 940 Pro, my next purchase !!! Hard to find in stock in Commy Ct. ✌️🍀🙏🐖💨🐣. 😷💥💥🔫👻

[@jamesharris1493]

Hey brother I wish you would have included the prices for those five guns. I enjoy your channel and appreciate you and your knowledge of all types of firearms.

[@lyman135]

You can very easily look the prices up. There's no point in listing prices when they change. This video is made and 2013 so the prices then wouldn't be applicable now anyways.

[@stanleytehee]

I am surprised Springfield XD45 wasn’t on the list. A really nice shooting gun.

[@kingLuu816]

Xdm .45

[@rodwilliams6655]

Very well done video. You should definitely do more.

[@edwinalgarin1715]

I have a mp 45 and I have about 5 mags And I always loved the 45 cal

[@201780ABC]

+P .45 guns are really limited. I see some 1911 guns that can fitted with a more hefty recoil springs. What are your comments? A talk show host on Sundays talked about a .450 Double Tap load with a hard cast bullet with a +P load for bear protection. Do you have any comments? I have a Walther PPQ .045. I don't see +P ammo in it.

[@gregpatrick3811]

CZ bad ass GUNS!!!

[@blitzburgh1584]

greg patrick Agreed! I was always told how well they point and perform so I borrowed one at the local indoor range and shot it. I was amazed from the first few shots how well it pointed and put all the rounds right where I was aiming at! Points amazing! The ergonomics of all the CZ's are just right on! They have this figured out. I even own an old CZ52 model, from when CZ was making pistols for the Military and Police and it's far from being "pretty". The machining looks like somebody did it with a rat tail file at home, all the machining marks are very obvious but the gun just won't stop! On a 52 is super important to put a replacement firing pin in right away because the stock pin that comes with the gun are very brittle and will break pretty easy. I was always told "Don't dry fire that thing!" and I just ignored it because I dry fire ALL my guns without an issue, well the CZ after a few clicks there was something that fell out the barrel and when I picked it up I realized it was the end of the firing pin.... Doh! So I bought a hardened replacement for a few dollars, was very easy to replace and wha la! It's worked like a dream every since. And that little 7.62 x 25 round is such an ass kicker! Talk about penetration! Holy cow what a hot little round. But I digress, yes - CZ rocks and are one heck of an awesome pistol to have. Very well made (CZ is made/owned by Dan Wesson now) points awesome and you will not be disappointed if you get one. Rent one at the local range or borrow one from a buddy and put a few mags through it and you will be more than impressed. I was! You are right on the point Mr. Patrick! :) ~Mike

[@FXR_OG]

I was a 1911 guy for years and ended up with a HK45 and now my edc is a Glock 45 9mm. I want to get a Model 21 soon.

[@bobsnyder7831]

Great video. Thank you.
