I don't know...I have a Springfield XD M in .40 and love it..I bought it on a whim because I have about 20 1911/.45acp and just didn't want another....of any discription..I love them but as they say "after you have been eating steak for a long time, beans taste fine"

"Islam is a death cult that needs to be exterminated from this planet and if it spreads to another planet, we need to chase it down and kill it there".

 

thanks..

to clarify, my STI is a 1911 in .40...

 

.45 is more accurate and much more versatile and easy to load for. You won't find many bullseye shooters using .40s&w as their preferred caliber for those same reasons.

On another note, competing will make you a better shot and help in deciding which guns are must haves and which are just taking up safe space.

 

you don't need another .45acp. you need to leave them all for me.

 

You want another .45 for the same reason we all want another .45 and a new .40 another 9mm, how about a new over under, always looking for a nice AR or AK. How bout a new bolt gun. I have no knowledge of cowboy shooting but want a whole setup. It's just fun.

 

I don't know why, But maybe for the same reason I do... And if you ever find out what the reason is, Please let me know.. As I have a hard time passing up any good deal on a .45 acp... :biggrin:

 

Come on over and shoot my S&W 625.....45 ACP 5" revovler....your tune will change to, "now i NEED another .45!"

 

Don't question it, just get it.

 

why do i want another .45? .

cause there awesome

 

That's sort of like asking why a man married to a beautiful, loving woman still has to watch as another woman walks by...

 

thanks for all the great replies..

you confirmed my suspicion.. there is no GOOD reason.. just because! LOL

 

I got rid of all my 40's simply because I like to consolidate calibers.

In handguns I am now down to:

9mm
38
45
22lr

The ease of only having a few calibers is nice for reloading and storage. Plus why mess it up with an odd ball 40.

Same here, 40 is a good round, but I just dont like the odd ball. Weird, because most my firends only shoot 40's.

Same here, also, But stay with the .357 mag, Covers the .38's also... No need for a .40 or .357 Sig. .357 Sig's about out the door up this way, and many LE's going back to the .45 ACP's... :wink:

 

You should probably sell all your handguns and go 45 Gap. Soon ACP will be gone and all you can find is GAP. Sell me all your guns cheap, make and make the switch.










Hope everyone knows I'm just kidding.

 

I bought my 1st 1911 a few weeks ago. I now think the OP shouldn't buy anymore .45's. He should save them for me. Haha.:blush:

Pretty much summed it up. One is great but why stop there if you can have two, or three......

 

A good .45 makes a man feel at peace with the world when he shoots it. I have loved ever one of my .45 handguns even the Hi Point.

 

The real question is, WHY NOT?

 

One time a while ago my wife asked me why I "needed" some gun I was getting......

I just looked at her, and told her "I don't need it, I WANT it."

Sort of like her having 30 dang pairs of shoes, and me having three,

 

went to the range yesterday with my STI Trojan in .40 S&W... shoots great..

I'm not being a smart a## here, being serious.. if i shoot this well and am not going to compete, why would i want a .45 1911 instead of or in addition to it?

what advantage would a .45 have.. this is for range only.

Makes a bigger hole.

I would say that it maybe a good idea to check with #1, befor trying to get #2 & #3 :90:

Because he likes to get hit in the back of the head with a handbag, then sleep alone on the couch?

 

45

Bigger hole .
Heavier bullets
Field (war) proven
Diversity
No real reason--- just because!!
