Compact 45 ?

I also carry an AMT . 45

Bang - ouch

Bang - OUCH

Bang - OUCH!!!

Kind of wish I had mine back.

Not a fan of the USPc. Biggest complaint is the mag release, not a fan of the decocker safety, the list goes on. Wanted to love it, given how much it cost me. But was not a fan.

I liked my XDS in 45. For some unknown reason I traded it to a friend for a XDS in 9mm.

Before I got back into firearms I thought the Para Warthog was the bomb. I told myself for years that it was going to be my next handgun purchase. I still like it but the reviews aren't that great

I scored an off roster S&W Shield 45 in the marketplace. Fantastic gun for CCW, with the extended mags it holds 7 + 1, only weighs a couple ounces more than a Shield 9mm, and like the Shield 9 it shoots much larger than it is.

I'm going through a Glock phase so I'd vote for the g30sf or g36. Has Glock ever made a full size single stack .45 acp?

I was never a Glock guy, but recently purchased a G26 - and with a mag finger extension - love it!
The next on my list is a 30SF - so I can have a compact .45 with a similar feel/function.
Go with the 30SF - accurate, reliable, compact - you can't go wrong with it...

That was me many many years ago, got my first Glock a 22c started doing some serious training with it and was hooked. I’ve carried them on and off duty, I’ve got many other types of handguns big 1911 fan too. But the gun I most often recommend is Glock.

Same. How the Glock performed during training courses vs. the Beretta I owned and had been issued in the past was a game changer for me. So much easier to master, especially at speed in realistic conditions. Which courses do their best to replicate and flat civilian ranges do their best to prohibit.
