Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Field Gun, .45 acp or .45 Colt

I missed the OP saying he looked at GB and the N frames were priced too high. Sorry about that.

Several have mentioned the Glock 20. Okie John added the advantage to changing out mags from woods carry loads to the ride home in a semi auto pistol.

I like my G20. Ive carried various Glocks for 25 yrs or so. It can be loaded up or down, and is reliable. A mag for woods and a mag for town is exactly how mine is set up, deep penetrators and bonded hollowpoints. I added a KKM 6 in barrel and got increased velocity to over 100 fps depending on the load, without pressure issues. My Glock isnt as accurate as my Smith 45 Colt, or I should say, it's not as accurate with me shooting it. In a Simply Rugged Chest harness it carries well and is easily carried while wearing a backpack or under a jacket.
It would also be a good choice and within budget.

Manny
