At no time in the last 60 years since gunsmith school have I been without at least 2 45acp's. Usually custom 1911's. Currently my favorite is the small 2 1/2" revolver they no longer make. They still make the same style but it has a steel cylinder,mine is Titanium. It has the best quick acquisition sights I have ever had on a handgun. I also have the same basic gun in a 10mm. My other two are a Kinber Eclipse Pro and a Rock Island Armory(which I consider to be the best buy in a 1911 today). With hardball the revolver is by far the most accurate out-of-the-box revolver I have ever had. A pleasure to shoot and carry.
