.45 ACP . . . Should I?

[phdo]

Go for it. I love the 1911 and the .45ACP is a byproduct.

[Questcoast]

The answer is YES. I just purchased my first .45ACP 1911. All I can say is I wish I would've picked one up sooner. Do not wait, go right now!

[phdo]

I think everyone should have at least one 1911 in their arsenal.

[FresnoRob]

Of course you should. Every gun owner needs a 1911 in .45

[Skip_Dog]

Just do it. I bought ammo mags and holster before I broke my first one out of jail. I only wish I did it 10+ years before.

[wpage]

.45 is just a classic. Got to go for it...

[BajaJames83]

Or better yet dump 9mm and replace it with 45

[IVth Horseman]

Quit resisting, quit resisting!

45 is fun. My CZ 97 makes it feel like 9mm.

[L84CABO]

Waaaaay back in the very beginning I was smart enough to limit myself to two functional pistol calibers. These would be for the guns I purchased and the ammo I stocked. I chose 9mm and 45 acp. YMMV. I've managed to hold to this. And suffice it to say that I don't even have all the 9mm and 45 acp's that I want and I can barely keep them all fed. I couldn't imagine if I was trying to maintain .40's and other calibers including holsters, mags and all the various accessories that go along with it.

Now at some point I may also pickup a .357 revolver and perhaps a .10mm. But these will be regarded as range toys and I won't stock and maintain ammo and accessories for them.

At least...these are the lies I tell myself.

So...there you go. Get the 45. It will be a "range toy!"

You're welcome.

We are NOTHING here if not enablers.

[rubbman]

1911's are a hell of a drug!

[dyjag]

Go for it. Something special about the 1911 in 45 acp. I still marvel at the workmanship and functionality.

[Old Flash]

For sure get that 1911 in 45ACP and see what the fuss is all about. And like other folks are saying, stock up on ammo too.

[saudadeii]

Funny, I have ammo for guns I don't even own. With the "ammo ban", I switched to stocking ammo and picked up stuff for guns I thought I might buy in the future.

.45ACP is NOT one of them. A pair of 1911s scratches my itch for now. Once I make my escape, most of my poly pistols will go bye bye so some more steel/alloy will go buy, buy!!
