Don't knock florida1098 for preferring Glock. He never said it was best for everyone, just that it is what he prefers and what he will buy.

The only service pistols I'll carry are also Glocks, because in my opinion they are the best design on the current market. I acknowledge that there are many other good guns on the market, but I will only buy Glocks (in service-type pistols).

And CZs are hardly infallible. My experience is that they are very reliable pistols, but not quite as reliable as Glock.

I picked ruger simply because everything they make seems to be tougher than woodpeckers lips.

I haven't actually shot any of those listed and couldn't make an educated vote. Watching this thread though I think will be interesting

I have an XD-40 but I have resently purchased 2 1911's a friend of mine got the XD-45 compact and I am giving some thought to selling the 40 to pick up a compact 45... its a great gun

SINCE YOU HAVE SUCH A LOW OPINION OF HK, SPRINGFIELD, COLT, SMITH AND WESSON, SIG, AUTO ORDINANCE ,RUGER, NORINCO, KIMBER, FN , BROWNING. GOOD THING YOU DONT NEED A RIFLE

I HAVE A HK USP. I LOVE SHOOTING THIS THING. ITS A BIT LARGE AND A DRESS AROUND GUN BUT GOD DOES IT SHOOT.

I WOULD LIKE TO SHOOT A G21 WITH A GRIP REDUCTION FROM ROBAR OR AZ RESPONSE. THE 21SF IS STILL TO BIG FOR MY STUBBY FINGERS.

My Aunt just got a Compact HK USP and It is very bulky but it really does shoot very well. I was also able to shoot a Sig p226 in 45 and thats also very nice fire arm.

... I thought the 220 was the only .45 ACP Sig? Typo?

the USP had a large grip that's for sure. Try the HK45 and HK45c. They have user replaceable back strap that you can try out and make the gun fit your hand comfortably. Much improved over the USP, combine that with the reliability that a USP enjoys as well as HK's fit and finish and you have a great gun.

BTW: The Sig P226 comes in 9mm, .40SW, and .357SIG

1. Sig P220
2. Glock 30

Sig has 3 handguns avaliable in .45acp that are not 1911's. The p220 series, p245, and p250. I would have to say I would take a CZ97b over anything on the list but since it wasn't included I'll have to go with the HK (I am just not a fan of striker fire actions).

Showing my ignorance here about actions..

Those Sigs have hammers, does that not make them a non-striker fired pistol?? I thought striker-fired guns were hammer-less such as Glock, XD, SR9, M&P etc. ??

I shot a Glock 36 the other day and was highly impressed. Only downside was small capacity at 6+1.
