I've had many .45's over the years. Got out of the caliber last year when I traded a Sig P250 in .45acp (a trade I couldn't pass up at the time). I did, however, very much like and enjoy that P250. I liked the ergonomics, feel and how it shot. The rear night sight was very odd to put on but it worked. After trading it I kinda wished I hadn't and have been wanting to get back into a .45acp.
It would not be a primary caliber for me, 9mm is the primary for defense, .40 S&W for woods carry. But I've always liked .45acp.
My duty weapon is a Glock 21 and I very much like and enjoy shooting it. It's a Gen 3 and we've had the G21.3 as a duty weapon for 15+ years (before that was the Beretta 9mm and before that I started my career with a S&W Model 64 .38 Special). I wouldn't mind having a G21.
I recently bought a used M&P 40 which I have a thread on in this section. First M&P I've owned and fired. And I've found it to be an excellent pistol that I like and enjoy shooting. Similar to the Sig P250, I like the ergonomics and feel of the gun. This got me thinking about the possibility of an M&P 45 as a viable option to consider. I haven't fired or even held one but I like the M&P 40 enough to look into it and seek out others thoughts.
If you have one, I'd like to hear your thoughts. If you have one as well as other brands of .45 I'd like to hear your comparisons. Good, bad and ugly.
Thank you.
