Anybody else also thinking of getting out of 45 ACP?

[packy14]

I found myself not really shooting 45 at all lately, and thinking of just selling my pistols and ammo to make room for other things. Primarily moved to 9mm and there has been a slew of new 9mm pistols and other options, not much new for 45 lately. Anybody else in the same boat?

Also may help to thin the herd a little....

I have 1 1911 and that’s my only .45… a Les Bauer SRP and I never shoot it lol

I posted this on another thread, but Ikeo said that thread is going to be deleted, so I thought I should post it here in case anyone else out there could use it — especially those who are interested in not having to give up God’s Caliber as they get older. I can’t find the actual article online right now (there’s a PDF of it floating around somewhere), but John Markwell developed a low-recoil .45 ACP handload called the "Geezer Load" to make shooting comfortable for people with joint pain. It’s particularly popular with arthritis sufferers. I loaded up four ammo cans full several years ago to train with for Single Stack competition, and I still have some left. They are accurate, fun to shoot, and great for training too. Here is the gist of Markwell’s Geezer Load:

No, 45 ACP in my opinion is superior to 9 mm. Sure most 9 mm pistols made today have larger magazine capacity. The test on ballistic dummies show similar results of 45s v 9 mm. I'm not ever wanting to get shot or ever want to shoot anyone but my opinion is that the true test can only be performed on a live human.

Call me. Maybe I'll take some of those .45's off your hands!

Seriously; are you selling pistols & accessories??
