Full size 45 ACP

[Dvrjon]

What's a good full size pistol on a 45 acp?
Not interested on 1911.
$1000 budget.
Must be on CA roster.

I was thinking of HK USP 45 Expert.

So, do you actually want opinions on sub-$1,000, non-1911 pistols, or do you want input solely on the HK USP Expert?

Do you have small, medium or large hands?

HK USP45
HKUSP45c
Sig P220
Glock 21 sf Gen 3
All great guns IMHO

Or get a S&W M&P45 off Calguns marketplace-- there's a few up for sale now for PPT.

I did check the HK expert and like it but I thought I ask if something else out there before I pull the trigger. I'm going to check out the CZ.

Btw, as far as my 3 responses, I'm not glued on this site or computer all day.

Glock 41.........

Glock g21, g30, .45 Shield, in no particular order...

Own, carry and shoot them all with pleasure and confidence...

Honestly the Sig and CZ will need trigger jobs. But you said $1K!

Polymer ---> USP

Metal ------> 97B

^This. Just slight modification...

Steel---------> 97B

Just want to separate steel vs. Aluminum because I prefer steel over aluminum.

[Litespeeds]

Give or take at around $1,000 range, I would get the following:

HK USP Expert or Elite if you want polymer

CZ 97B with some Cajun Gun Work mods if you want all metal

If you can get your hands on a Sar K2 45, this might be the best bang for the buck but it is not on the CA roster.

I have one of the II's in 9mm.

Been waiting for aftermarket parts for a Model III in .45 to come out. Stock grips are Aggghhh!

probably medium to large

Full size 45 ACP

I have both the Sig P220 and the Glock 21sf. The Glock feels lower recoil to me. Think the polymer helps absorb some of the recoil. The Sig is a beautiful pistol but truthfully, I enjoy the shooting the Glock more.
