Other than 1911 for .45 ACP

[Alfonso]

What are some excellent pistols for shooting .45 ACP other than the 1911 design? I'm especially interested in Europen gun makers except for Glock. I love the 1911 and .45 ACP but looking for alternatives. Thanks

Sig P220 and P227, FNX-45, H&K MK23, HK45, CZ97... pick your flavour. Mind you, while some have roots in Europe, most are made in the good old USofA.

You know, people laugh ... but my Hi-Point JHP is a fun gun for .45 ACP. It's not as accurate as my 1911 -- 5 rounds in a 20 or 30 cm group vs. 5 rounds in a 10 or 15 cm group at 25 meters. But it is cheap and reliable, and it weeell put holes in paper.

Cz97. Super accurate and fun to shoot. All steel. Cz75's bigger brother.

My vote is for the CZ97. Mine is great to shoot, beats any 1911 that I have shot....

That covers the best of it I think. Pretty sure you meant CZ97.

Don't forget the PPQ 45.

Whoops, typo. Thanks. Yeah, should have been CZ97.

I'm in love with my Ruger SR45

Don't forget the Pardini GT45.

The FNP/FNX45's have really surprised me. Excellent shooters. Double action so they are hammer fired (which I prefer over striker fired). There is the Ruger SR45 and their Ruger American as well - but that one does not feel good in the hand in my opinion. The CZ97 is typical CZ whereby it fits some hands like it was made for them and they are also very good shooters.

Another vote for the CZ97. Excellent fit and finish, accurate, consistent and well priced. I really like my "blued" one.

I'd love to give the CZ97 a try if it's anything like my Shadow

So true. In a bit of a different neighborhood, but true.

Not a pistol, but why don't you go off the rez & look at a Smith revolver?

HK45 feels best in the hand.
