.45ACP pistol choice?
Posted on 12/30/23 at 10:07 pm

I want a full size .45ACP pistol for a range toy. I don’t want a 1911. I have long fingers so I don’t want a thin grip. Budget is $800 max.
I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Glock 41 or FN FNX45. Both have good reviews. FWIW I own a Glock 20 and love it. Never shot a FN so it intrigues me. I don’t know anyone with the FN and don’t see them for rent anywhere so I’m unsure of the trigger feel.
Any experiences with these? or any recommendations for any others?

I have an FNX45 Tactical. It is a big pistol, so your hands will not swallow it like the HK/Walther/Smith 9mms.
The biggest difference is the FN is hammer fired with a safety and decocker vs. the striker fired Glock. The trigger is DA/SA on the FN. It is really accurate also.
It's a big pistol though, especially when you put a suppressor on it.

M&P45 M2.0
My personal choice.
My buddy swears by the Sig P220.

Glock 30. Also a 30s with a slim slide but I prefer the regular 30 slide. 10 round mags but I also carry a 21 mag that holds 13. Good enough for Mas Ayoob, good enough for me.

Glock 41A, long slide, developed by Glock as their competition pistol. Long slide and additional recoil spring enhances accuracy and reduces recoil. Mine feels more like a 9mm than a 45 ACP. its easy and comfortable to shoot. I mounted a TLR 8 on it and use it as my bedroom/house pistol.

Walther has a full size .45 that’s a sweet shooting gun, feels more like shooting a 9 than a 45

The FNX is big, trigger is shitty, and cost is over your budget unless you find one used. But it’s a cool gun.

I have HK USP and love it.

Arched mainspring housing, wider grips and a long trigger all extend the trigger reach.

The Rock Island 1911’s get great reviews. Will probably own one very soon.

I have a Springfield XD in .45, and it is a nice shooting gun. Fits my hand great, and the recoil feels not much more than my 9mm Glock.

I had the FNP .45, loved it, sold it at height of ammo pricing, with the intent of buying the 9mm but never got around to it.
Regret selling it to this day.

I have an fnx 45, I love it. The trigger is a little spongy and it’s not light. But I really enjoy shooting it. Definitely recommend it.

I'm happy with my Beretta PX4 Storm
