An array of pistols in .45 ACP roughly in reverse chronological order.
Left to Right:
S&W M&P 45C: 2.2 lb.; 10 shots. Can be 2 lb.; 8 shots. Striker fired, thumb safety. The only ambidextrous choice on the bench.
CZ 97B: 3 lb.; 10 shots. Hammer fired DA/SA, thumb safety.
Glock 21 Gen 2: 2.4 lb.; 13 shots. Striker fired, no manual safety.
SIG P220: 2.3 lb.; 8 shots. Hammer fired, decocker DA/SA.
Ithaca/Remington Rand M1911A1: 2.8 lb.; 7 shots. Hammer fired, thumb safety, grip safety.
I'm going to try and dig deeper with more photos later.
Minor Update: The S&W and 1911 fit my hand best, followed by the SIG then the Glock then the CZ. The CZ almost beats the Glock, but the back strap of the CZ has a place that I can tell, just handling it, will be sore after a day at the range.
The one place the Glock shines is that wide as grip spreads the recoil over a much wider area.
Nice collection. Currently my only .45's are a M&P Shield and a Sig 320. The Shield is an extremely nice shooter considering its size. I've had less trigger time on the 320. It's a full sized variant and seems promising so far.
ReplyDeleteBeen shooting stuff more affordable than .45 this last year, mostly.
