It had everything I wanted in a 45 caliber handgun but I really don’t know shit about hundgun brands and other specific things to look for. That’s why I’m here and not at the range.
If somebody would just direct me to some brands that have what I’m looking for, I can isolate those lines of handguns, play with them at the shops, and make a decision, instead of ending up with something less because I didn’t ask for help.
Taurus quality is hit and miss. You may find a guy that has shot thousands of rounds through his but if you check around you will find ten others that have had to send them back to fix an issue.
HK 45 Compact!! I love Mine ,Had Both a Glock 30 and a XD 45 and dumped Both .I am keeping the HK it fits My Needs .A Little More Money But A winner None the Less
Yeah the hk45 is a bit too much. I really don’t want to spend more than $600. The Taurus was $460 brand new…along with other brands. I saw some of the smith and wesson MP’s for about 600. If he has one with the thumb safety, I’m likely to buy it.
With quality ammo 9mm will do anything you can reasonably expect a handgun to do.
Also, about that MP45 with the thumb safety, does that safety work as a decocker too?
No. The striker on the M&P is always cocked. The sear releases the striker which fires the weapon. The safety simply blocks rearward movement of the trigger.
Really? Where do you buy your .45 ammo that it’s less expensive than .40? I haven’t found any store that sells .45 for less than their prices on .40…
As for Taurus quality, it seems to me it’s getting better, at least if you check the posts on TaurusArmed.net. Still, I’d get an M&P45c long before I bought a Taurus.
M&P seems to fit your bill perfectly, get the Apex sear everyone recommends, I think I may be wrong but, I thought the .45 could shot .40 too with a barrel replacement, could be wrong.
I own both an HK45 and M&P45. So far I like the HK45 much better. The M&P is a nice handgun, but the HK takes the cake. A used USP 45 is also a good option. If you are open to go used, it’s worth a shot and they are built like tanks.
My HK 45 compact USP was bought on Gunbroker and I got a hell of a deal.you could not tell it was used at all ,great deals out there you just have to search. and as stated it is built like a tank .the first time i shot it hit tight group and nailed a Bullseye first try from 25 yards ,( I have never been able to do that with the Sigs I bought,or my Glock or my XD )it is worth the extra Money.
