.45 carry pistol?

[Glockster30]

Actually, even better is a slimmer G36 slide on a G30 or G30SF frame that still allows for 10 rds, or 13 using a G21 mag.

aka, the Glock 30s. You can buy one like that direct from Glock now. Well, not in MA...

Now my head is spinning, being a subject of Martha,
and not familiar with glock.

My EDC is a 3rd gen Glock 30. I love it.

No, you can't buy direct from Glock, but slides and frames are available when sellers have them in stock. I have a G30 and will be looking for a G36 slide.

I don't understand all the hate for Para... Granted my experience is with a pistol produced in the early 90's. Put about 5000 rounds through the original [aluminum] frame, before changing it to a steel one (because I wanted to). I wanted a bit more weight in the steel frame for competition shooting (more weight in the grip to better balance it). I'm seriously thinking of taking the old frame and building a carry gun on it.

If the Para hate is from products produced later, that had QC/QA issues, I can understand. I can't speak about their customer support, since I never needed to use them.

you will laugh, but I run it in a remora #11 I believe. Very comfortable and it doesn't move or slide around in the holster at all.

My one and only Para crapped out under 200 rounds called customer service and talked to a mcdonalds flunky. Fixed it on my own and sold it, never again.

Which model and when was it produced? Sucks that the customer service person was that far below the level he/she should have been.

I think I ran 200 rounds through mine in the first day it went to the range.

 

[BillO]

Kahr PM45.

That would be my first choice as well: PM45
Followed by the Glock 36, S&W CS45.

Don't recall the model # It was a short barrel 45. I bought it when they were moving out of Canada.

 

[GJH86]

30S. 11 rounds, light & concealable

 

[Da_lucche]

USP 45 FS here and even though rare, 12 rounder prebans for it as well.

I carry a full size m&p45 in an old faithful iwb holster daily. No issues here.

Two questions for you there...
1. Does it come in an adult size?
2. How close do you need to be in order to hit the broad side of a barn? How about the broad side of a full size sedan?

Seriously, what is that a 1" barrel? If you're close enough to hit someone with it, you might as well just use it as a club. Or kick them since you'll be close enough. Actually, the knife would be more dangerous to the target.

 

[blinky]

I don't know where you're located but I saw a ruler 45 on consignment at shooters warehouse in Tewksbury. I had my eye on it but I decided against it because I need to carry something a bit smaller at e moment.

 

[RussB]

I have a S&W "Gunsite" that I like to carry, either IWB with a Sparks Summer Special, or OWB in a Minotaur Gladiator,




An HK45c would make a nice carry 45 IMHO

Yup. RMR on that too and you have yourself your own little army.

 

[Knob Creek]

A high capacity 1911 is awfully heavy for daily carry. Even a single-stack 1911 isn't a lightweight.

If you can get one, I'd go with a Glock 30 or Glock 30s.

It's a shame there are so many limited people out there with revolver experience.

Add an Arredondo base pad (+4) to the 13 rd G21 pre-ban (in MA) magazine and you have 17 rds of .45 ACP. I did a similar thing with the 15rd pre-ban mags for my G20 except the base was a +5 which gave me 20 rds of 10mm goodness per mag.

I also have a Para S-14 (made in Canada...) that pre dates all the Para hate out there. Added +2 bases to the 14 rd pre-ban mag for 16 rds in a 1911 style gun.

All of these options are HEAVY though and the base pads themselves are expensive, so when I want to carry a .45 I invariably OWB a Sig P220 with a 10 rd ProMag. Still a bit of weight but much lighter than any of the other choices I currently have....except for the light saber app on my smart phone or the type I hand phaser I pocket carry. YMMV.
