OKAY HERES WHAT ON THE TABLE.WHAT UR TOP CHOICE? GLOCK 21 S/F - SPRINGFIELD XD 45- S&W M&P 45- TAURUS OSS 45- OR ?????
Comments
Double taps are fast and hitting a milk jug at 25 yards is pretty much never miss, it shoots about 3 1/2 -4" groups at that distance in my hands. .
If sticking to the choices you listed I'd go Glock

Smith - really hard to go wrong with a S&W. Can't vouch for accuracy or feel personally cause I don't own one, have never shot one.
Guess it really depends a lot on what you plan to use if for. I like the Glock for the reliability under extreme conditions.
I know a lot of people (on here as well as personally) that say stay away from Taurus. Never owned one, but I respect their professional opinions.
Good luck
I traded my S&W M&P for a Glock 21sf, 'nuff said
not really JLoaf, why didja trade.. My only dislike is that the slide wiggles in the frame when in battery. Still accurate and alot easier to field strip.

The field strip on the M&P plain sucked, and I could NOT consistantly group with the pistol. The Glock is cake tO strip, and is more consistant.
Some guys swear by their M&P, I swore AT mine

Look, if the 1911A1 was good enough for Duke Wayne, it's good enough for you. You don't need 100 rounds in those high cap. mags. 7 plus 1 is all you need.PERIOD![;)]
What if there is 10 targets and you have lost your knife and one of your arms is injured and you only have one magazine?
if you haven't done it with eight then kiss your * goodby
I was in the gun shop yesterday and we were playing with guns. The dealer handed me a XDM and was just bragging about how it felt in HIS hand. So I picked it up and guess what, it felt awful in my hand. So does that make it a good or a bad gun?
Like some others here, gotta go with a colt !
personal favorite is XSE commander, but 1911 A1 is a classic and would be a good choice too.
I also like the colt defender for carry.
springfield and kimber make some nice smaller 45's
I don't care for any of the 45 polymers, but I did shoot a compensated glock that felt pretty good.
all depends on what you want it for.
just my 2c

In a polymer, I prefer the XD, just like someone said earlier about how it "didn't" fit their hand, it fits mine just fine and feels good there.
Handguns are all about what you need for the purpose, how easy to maintain and how it FITS YOU. Get the one that fits, get the grips that fit and get the mag that fits and you'll love it too.
