.45 ACP Handguns
25 .45 ACP handguns from 14 brands, 6 to 15 rounds and 22.4 to 42.3 oz. 9 have a current dealer price, from $390.
The choice in .45 ACP is mostly 1911 versus modern polymer pistol. Single-action 1911s like the Springfield Armory Garrison offer a crisp trigger and slim grip but hold fewer rounds and weigh more, while polymer guns such as the Glock G21 carry more ammunition for less weight. Barrel length and frame size then decide whether it becomes a carry gun or a range and duty gun.
