Your choice for a 45acp CC pistol?

[Name Taken]

I enjoy the guy with a certain pistol model in his screen name saying someone else is too fanatical about a brand of firearms.

Seems like there are more constructive things in life to care about though like 9mm or .45 and should pedal bikes be allowed on the roadway.

I go with the Glock 36. Add a Pearce +1 magazine extension on one of the mags and it's still comfortable in the NRA Tactical Holster while driving, riding the motorcycle or working in the garden.

The Glock 36 is single stack, and is noticeably slimmer than it's heftier brother, Glock 30, which you know is a double stack.

That's what I plan to carry when I retire and can upgrade from my Glocks in .40 caliber (M22 issued and M27 personally owned)

Shield or Glock based on ergos. The xds hurts my hand compared to those two.

Picked up a XDm 3.8 a few years ago and though it is larger than the others being discussed, it works for CC.

Glock 30s

PPQ M2 45acp, could fit your needs, can't wait to shoot mine...

I voted XDs in 45. I love mine, but it's actually the 3.3" version. The only thing I don't like, common to many carry guns, is my pinky hangs off the grip with the standard 5 round mag. So, I fixed it! I carry the gun with a 7 round extended mag. While recoil is a bit snappy, it's far from unmanageable and I actually shoot very well with it out to 25 yds! Surprisingly accurate, I believe, for a compact gun. FYI, until that gun, I always shot 45s out of 1911s with the exception of a Hungarian FEG I had for a few years (and actually the FEG is a fairly decent gun....but a bit heavy for as compact as it is).

I carry a SA XDm .45 3.5" IWB and I like it it can be a little heavy at times but I don't mind, I bought it like 2 months before the XDs came out or I would have bought that. I do plan on buying the XDs and carrying that in the future. sxs as for the pinkey hanging off the end I just replaced the floor plates with a pearce grips they work great and I don't have small hands.

Colt defender because it's a Colt, or Magnum Research 1911u...short barrel.

Considerations...

• Getting a pistol that fits your needs and shoots reliably.
• Looking at several and choosing wisely
• One pistol must provide the best all around traits
• Carrying that pistol is going to be a great responsibility
• Keeping within ones budget must also be considered

I was at Greentop Sporting Goods in VA yesterday open carrying my Glock 30SF. If it was summer and I was concealing, it would be my G36.

When I lived in AZ, and could do so legally, I carried a Colt Lightweight Commander. I back packed with it too.

You can open carry in Green Top?
