What is YOUR favorite .45 under $1000?

[nada]

norinco + sear , hammer , trigger , frame to slide fit , barrel & sights , all done by a good smith . you'll have a 1.5" gun for 1k +/-

Spartan 1911!!

 

[Hitzy]

Spartan IV....fun gun to shoot, won't break the bank, all the right features and nice and tight.

 

[skoal]

Norinco 1911+1000 rounds of ammo
Then send it off for a armco tune up

 

[easysauce]

M&P 45 - way under $1000 with holster, mags, and ammo.

this... mine is still kicking ass and taking names

SR 1911. Very excellent pistol for the $$'s

 

[xyzrsa]

CZ97B 10 shot mags and a real decent sized grip for big paws

This. Buy a set of aluminum grips to fit smaller hands and you have great gun.

I bought a Para 1911 GI Expert.4000+ rds through it, great so far. Lusting after a CZ 97B though.

I'm probably going to buy a new .45 ACP by Monday, I have a CZ75 SP-01 Shadow and I love it...Now I'm considering the CZ95B however I have medium sized hands...So, I love the looks of the CZ but also like the G21. I had a G17 that I sold to get the CZ because it was heavier which I like so my tendency is to go with the CZ...what do y'all think?? Oh, and where can I get the Aluminum grips if I go the CZ route?? VZ??

You can try CRAFM on the dealer network above, or try CZ Europe for 130.00 bucks. Got mine in 5 days.

My favorite .45's are two Springfield's, an old NM serialed standard model, and a current-style Mil Spec. Both bought used, both had trigger jobs (unknown smith) before I got them. Along with them, I love shooting my old Brazilian contract S&W 1917 and my Gen 3 G21.

Sadly my fav .45 costs more then a $1000...maybe if you got extremely lucky one used without any mags might go for that

 

[Brutus]

I have a few .45s with only one 1911. Actually a brushed stainless steel 1991A1 full size.
My revolvers in .45 ACP: S&W Target Model of 1955, a Brazilian M1937, and the previously mentioned ROA.

21SF. Ultra reliable, but it does have a huge grip. Still, this gun means business.

 

[P12]

M&P 45. Whatever your choice will be try to handle the gun first to see if you like how it feels like in your hand. There is a huge difference between a 1911 and a M&P.

 

[mikeyb]

P220 is my favorite. 21SF and M&P 45 are both good choices as well. I'm also a 1911 fan and there are plenty decent models for under $1000.
