What is Your Favorite 45 Caliber Handgun Cartridge?

[rickyrick]

Only ever owned 45 colt.
I have nothing for comparison.

.45 ACP and .45 Colt.

 

[Gas Bag]

I have a .45 Auto, and I may get another one, because I have faith in them.
A Springfield XD would be good.There are so many different guns now, that’s it’s a little frustrating trying to pick one.

But this gun keeps popping up in my mind as a good one.

Gas Bag, I kick myself in the tail selling mine. I still have one in .40SW. That's one of my favorite platforms.

If I were a serious reloader with firearms in all of those choices, I would probably have a different answer. With that, I have to be like most others and say I like the .45ACP best. It's such a versatile cartridge, a lot of fun to shoot, and plenty of recipes to load.

I have .45ACP's semis, (Colt and Browning BDA) several Ruger SA revolvers in .45Colt, (a couple with ACP cylinders as well) and a couple of semi autos that shoot the .45 Win Mag (one gas operated one recoil operated), and I have barrels for my Contender for all those cartridges as well.
Also had a .45acp semi auto Tommy gun, but I passed that on to my son a few years ago...kinda miss it, oh well...

Don't have any of the bigger .45 caliber cases, don't have a use for them
which is not the same as saying there is no use for them,

I've had a .45 caliber handgun of my own of some type since 1980, and won't be without one.

I have only one 45...the 460S&W Mag. Thus, it's my favorite.

I have that same XD, old faithful, great shooter and still my nightstand gun of choice. I'll never part company with mine (willingly).

454 casull, that's my favorite. Freedom Arms makes awesome revolvers for it.

Mine is the .45 Short Schofield Auto Colt Long Rim.

Love that round!

I prefer the .45 Short Schofield Auto Colt Long Rim MAGNUM.

I don’t know if y’all are joking or not

I voted for 45 ACP because that is what I shoot the most of. Most of my CAS weapons are 44 caliber, but I do shoot some 45 Colt and Schofield.

I was. I think Mike was as well.

 

[rickyrick]

It sounded like it was a joke, haha, but my ignorance of all the different 45s made me uncertain.

 

[Mike Irwin]

I don't joke about my favorite cartridges...

Well, almost never.
