The Ruger American .45 was my first .45 pistol, and then I purchased the FN FNX 45 standard two weeks ago. 3 15 round mags and a pistols that shoots incredibly well. It's my everyday carry.
Video should be called best 45 out of WHAT I OWN.
OperatorTydoo lol
@BMO bc 2 of the best options are missing, namely, G21 and HK
Bill Cz > g21
Is the Glock 21 the only 45 that is striker fired?
@@a.d.c7941 -- Both S&W guns in this video ARE striker fired... Walther PPQ as well... Sig 320 as well, so the answer is no.
I carry the shield 45, soft shooting, recoil is not bad, love it.
I agree. I shoot the .45 shield better than the 9mm shield.
Look at the xds .45 imo it shoots better than the shield. I like the grip better on the shield though
Try the Performance Center ported barrel version or send it to Magnaport for porting. Jerry Michilek has all of his semiautomatic pistols ported.
Th3 Wacker I agree ☝️ just bought the xds .45 I love it
I have fnx 45 for home defense and m&p 2.0 compact for carry. Both great guns
... My #1 carry for a while now is a .45acp shield ,, Hogue Handall grip sleeve ,, Pearce mag. pinky extentions on 6-rnd mags ,, Apex trigger kit ,, XS Big Dot sights w/I dot rear sight ... 2- 7-rnd mags in a shoulder holster ... extremely comfortable and easy carry set up ... Have a couple custom leather belt holsters IWB and OWB .. for occasional change up ...
... next add on in this line will be a S&W M&P 2.0 .45 4" Compact with the same set-up ...
No PPQ 45? I have yet to see another polymer 45 that compares favorably to it, other than the SAR ST9 (which is a P99/PPQ clone).
Very good review no filter thank you! Love the FNx, and the S&W short stack.
I am not a Glock fanboy in the least but one of the best .45 acp pistols I have ever owned is the 30s.
Got rid of 1911 because of weight and low round capacity. Went with 13+1 in Glock 21for home, and carry Glock 30s . Interchangeable magazines big plus with G21 mags fitting G30s. Both soft shooters.
Springfield XD45, Glock 21, Walther PPQ45, not to mention Sig and CZ. Yes there ARE some choices.
Yes sir, Walther PPQ baby
Sig P220, BBR 3.10, and FNX 45 Tactical are the. 45s I own and I whole heartedly agree with you. Will I get somebody's 1911 yeah one day but not anytime soon. The P220 is my best shooting .45 been in love with it since 1996.
Won’t trade my XDm Springfield for nothing
Conceal carry my FNX-45, especially in wintertime. I’d love to get the new M&P 2.0 (.45) though, it’s a *great* Gun! My 1911 slot is owned by my Rock Island Ultra FS HC (16+1 10mm)!
45 shield is a beautiful handgun. Love it.
Very nice Heg. I use a 45 Shield in rotation, mainly deep carry & around the house.
Just what I wanted. Thanks. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
I've had the m&P 45 shield for a couple of years. What I really love about it is the natural point of a I can hold that up and look at what I want to shoot and I'm lined up in the sights without any trouble at all I'm wondering if you feel that the full size m&P 45 has the same point of aim.
I’ve been a 1911 guy for awhile, I picked up a FNX45 tac last year and I was in the same boat as you. I wasn’t a very good shot with it at first, until one day I sat down with about 500 rounds and just shot paper all day until I figured were I was with it. I now conceal carry the FNX and I’m an average build about 5’10 220 lbs. I absolutely love the FNX and wouldn’t grab another pistol in a STHF situation
If you want to carry concealed...the new XD mod 2 subcompact is very impressive. Very comfortable to shoot and carry. 10 + 1 rounds of .45 in a relatively small package and 13+1 extended mag. as a back up. I'm very happy with mine.
I love mine!
Remington R1 double stack 1911 15rds. A BEAST!!!
Good video on the .45 ACP. Everyone is free to share their opinions in the USA. Some folks will never carry a 9 mm, so I appreciate your coverage of these fine pistols. All of these are well made and the respective owners should be satisfied. Some collectors want pistols "Made in the USA" while others don't care about the origin of the pistol. I looked at the FN and was surprised how heavy it is and was concerned about the overall weight in a concealed holster as you mentioned. I own two of the Smith and Wesson pistols you showed, except I choose the Performance Center versions.
Great review of mid-price pistols! Don’t own a Glock, but have shot some. I carry a Ruger Security-9, never had any hiccups &had good accuracy. Can’t afford the handguns I’d like to have, but maybe sometime I will. When I can afford to, want a good 1911 45 ACP🦅
The Glock 30s is a great option as well. I love my 30s. 10+1 rounds. Not too heavy. I conceal carry it with jeans or sweat pants and it’s great for home.
Seems like generally, in the gun manufacturing business, the focus has been to optimize the 9mm platforms much more than any real emphasis on .45, outside the exception of the 1911 of course.
Sig has a good 45 the p320 and it’s a modular to
Good vid, informative for the guns you have on screen. I would suggest letting the viewers know that 1911's range from $5-600 to upwards of $3-4k....the Smith is nice but there are MANY others. Also, where are the HK's and the SIG 220?
Love my M&P2.0. Comfortable and mean looking especially with an olight mini strapped to the bottom rail.
I love the fnx 45 it’s totally an awesome gun. As for 40 caliber what is it you don’t like about a 40?? I’d prefer a 40 over a 9mm.
I have a 40 cal Beretta PX4 Storm and a HK USP 40. They manage recoil great. Not as light as a 9mm , but very pleasant to shoot.
I carry an H&K P2000 in 40. It is about the same recoil as an HK45C but holds 4 more rounds.
Awesome love my 2.0 45 full size and my 45 shields I have one of the first ones and the performance center with the ported barrel enhanced trigger and night sights. Great guns
Nice video, missing the CZ 97...
I had to ship my E-Series back to Smith 3 times because the left safety plunger tube kept becoming detached. However...Customer Service paid the freight each time and eventually turned this beautiful but problematic 1911 into the most accurate handgun at my range. And this guy's right...the trigger is awesome. Considerably less pull weight and the trigger cracks predictably and effortlessly with no travel with a perfect reset. I disagree about it not being recommended as a duty weapon. Thanks for the video.
totally love my full size S&W .45 2.0!
I got a .40 sheild. Great little pistol if I had to do it over again I'd get a reg M&P subcompact double stack purely for more ammo.
Plan on getting a few .45's in the M&P line. Biggest problem with this line is they dont offer it in .357 sig. I k ow you can get conversion kits for .40's but I've seen to data saying the excisiv pressure can cause premature where and cause failure wont risk it.
I have a PPQ 45 - sweet shooter and very accurate with one of the best triggers out there! The 12 rounds magazine capacity is just another huge plus. I love that pistol!
I wonder whether the new M&P 45 M2.0 "subcompact" which takes compact/full-size magazines shoots better than the Shield 45.
I love the S&W 1911 E series. I shot the Sig P320 45acp the other day and I was very impressed. Soft shooter and very accurate. To me, it felt like shooting a +P 9mm. Thanks for the video and Cheers!
Hegshot, i have the mp45 apexed, and now an xd45sc. Shoots gear as well. Thanks for a great vid. Will you review the xd45i know it's old
I have a p320 in 45 and I love it!
My FNX Tactical .45 is my second favorite. I love the 15 + 1 capacity and the way it shoots. My number one is my Dan Wesson Bronze Bruin 1911 10mm, with 6.3 inch barrel.
The fnx45 tactical is a direct competitor to the USP MK23. Which by the way I an awesome handgun! However neither of these weapons are designed for concealed carry, they are full combat guns, and if I had the choose I would definitely take an fnx45
Despite owning two Glock 21's (one dedicated for a carbine conversion) I've got a Taurus OSS in 45 next to my bed, and I'm very impressed with its double strike capability and extra large capacity...
“This gun is going to make you look like a good shooter.” True, that! My Sig Tacops 1911 amazes me every time I take it to the range. BTW, my Tacops 9mm behaves similarly so 1911 platform in general works well for me. I just don’t carry one.
“That grip will tear you up.” Yup. “S&W 2.0 - Talon Grip Required For Carry” should be right in the manual.
I have the FNX45 Tactical and it is an awesome gun. Once you shoot it, you will want it. I completely agree with his comments on the gun, however, I have been very accurate on shooting this gun. I believe hand sizes can play a factor on accuracy on this big gun. His hands look medium, and I have large hands.
My favorite, FNX 45, 15+1it is a beast.
Is the 45 Shield magazine release reversible for left handed shooters? If not, do you think the next version could be??
Just bought fnx 45 tactical. Recommended grain for self defense? Targeting? Type? Brass or is nickel plated ok?
I like revolvers & pistols.Shoot em both . Would love to own a top break Schofield, just for the traditional feel. Love my GP 100 357mag,cause I can shoot 38 spl. Got REAL bad arthritis in my strong hand, so have to use both for best control & accuracy.Its heavy but fun to shoot ( It’s Not my carry firearm) enjoyed the video & want to see more!🦅⚓️🇮🇪☘️
CZ 97B or BD. 'Nuff said. Recently discontinued, so glad I got mine when I did.
No mention of the H&k 45? Best grip of any gun, 10 rounds stock and has plus 2 extension and amazing trigger
I carry the HK USP compact 45. Love it, it is a tack driver.
Best grip...pass stock grips are the fucking worst.
If his fnx tac was in 5th place we all knew the hk wasnt going to be in it.
10 rounds? Yawn.. my G21 comes 13+1, M&P 45 14+1
HK 45 USP hard 2 the core. Mags R $$$, Built like a tank.
Dude a 1911 in commander size is awesome. Being 4-4.33 inch barrel is shorter then the full-size and you still get the 7+1 cap. Much more concealable. I'm not super worried about capacity when I'm a good shot.
I'm looking hard at the ATI FXH-45C...A 1911 with an Aluminum reinforced Polymer Frame and a Staiess Steel Slide, 8+1 and just 27.5oz...Pretty Nice.
The P320 45 . . . In a poly double stack striker fired . . . an easy best! Imo
Hello it seems like they only make holsters for the s&w m&p 9/40 M2.0 compact, i cant find one for my s&w m&p 45acp M2.0 compact. do you make one for the 45acp
Needed to showcase the Springfield XDM with 13 rounds. A very nice weapon.
Yes.I have the XDM5.25
My home gun is a Springfield XD Tactical in .45 ACP. 13+1 Capacity, 5 lb. trigger pull and a 5" barrel make for a fantastic large combat pistol. I have owned it for 10 years with literally zero failures or issues of any kind.
For carry I honestly prefer 9mm for it's compact form factor and incresed round count in that smaller form factor.
Baz on Blades Yup, I have the XDm Mod2 and love it. It does everything as I can conceal it.
I bought the XDs when they first came out and like an idiot I sent it back for their bogus recall... It spent almost a year in the factory being "repaired"... That's the last springfield armory POS I'm ever spending money on.
Edc, xds 45. You will not regret it!
I got the XDM Mod 2 with the 3.3 inch barrel and it's great for concealed carry.
I have the smith 45 and the Glock 21 . For carry the Smith hands down it’s thinner and a great shooter . I have 2 shields the plus and the original one plus the smith 10 mm 4.6 inch . I’m very impressed with smith’s reliability. I even bought my daughter the shield plus in 9mm
Carried the shield 45 for over a year no complaints really. Bought a Glock 21 and was really impressed with the trigger, weight and capacity. I bought a g19 and that’s been my edc gun for about 4 months now the extra 9 rounds in the mag is a big factor for me
But the shield 45 was has easy to conceal and reliable has any thing out there.
I have the Springfield 1911A1 I'd like to get the Smith and Wesson m&p shield 45 the 9mm shield is my CCW carry
I don’t know, I love my SIG-P320 Compact in .45 ACP. It’s very accurate and is 9 +1.
Thank you man
I carry in a shoulder holster! Locked and cocked!
Nice video, I have been looking at that FNX 45 acp for a while now. I want it for home and range mostly unless it's that once in a while trip to the mountains for bears bobcats etc.
I really like my M&P 2.0 45 compact. Anything smaller has just too much for an old man to handle.
Agree...
I like my Rock Island Armory 1911a1 gi model just fine.
1911 all the way. GI style with clean lines and upgrade enhancements, with beavertail and a black duty finish, or parkerized finish,you can carry. Like the Dan Wesson 1911 Vigil CCO in .45acp.
Love the shield 45
What about the 45acp revolvers with moon clips?
Smith & Wesson .45 2.0 "Compact"! That's the business!
Got the SHIELD 45ACP.
With TRU-GLO TFX PRO'S.
Fiber optics with tritium for night glow.
Absolutely a fabulous shooter.
Conceals perfectly in my hidden hybrid holster.
Your offhand grip on the FNX could use some work. Put that forward thumb more forward and right up by the slide. Near the take down lever. If you do, recoil is so much easier. The FNX is the easiest shooting .45 out there if you can get the hands right. The only gun that beats it in any category is the 1911 for the trigger.
Held one of the FNX models once...; made my Glock 21 feel quite trim by comparison. :)
Great review I own a G21 and G30 gen4 for my 45acp. 13+1 on my Glock 21 is good for me and if you add a +4 Base plate🤯....😎👍
Broke ass glock fanboy
My choices would be Glock 21 or m&p 45 for home defense beat around sig 220 and 1911 for the range
Love my Sig P220.
I really wish I had went with the fnx tactical 45. At the time I didnt know much and all I kept hearing was capacity so I ended up with a Glock 21 and added a +4 base.
Glock 21 is a beautiful piece.
Sold my Glock 21 and bought the FNX 45 Tactical. Never looked back.
Para Ordinance makes 1911s with double stack magazines. They're too heavy for IWB carry. But they are great shooters. (At least they were. I think Remington has bought them out now.)
I've been interested in the. 45 shield. Own one in 9mm and it's just so damn comfy to carry. Just to have though.. It's hard to beat a 1911!!!
I think a lot of people t believe the .45 is a harder round to shoot. I feel the .40 S&w(although still my favorite round) is a little more violent with recoil.
The .45 shield is a great gun. I own the 9mm shield and actually shoot the .45 better . A little more grip and .2 inches of barrel length do make a difference.
Recoil is not bad. Much easier to shoot than Springfield XDs .45 .
.40 is a very high pressure cartridge.
I have a thought for you & the Mrs.
My adult daughters who are still in house @ this time carry. 45 shields and a Ruger American Compact 9mm. My wife of course carries...9mm Shield. There are multiple ladies in our sphere that are shooters, hunters & ccw defenders. Have you had Mrs. Hegshot feature her preferences of certain firearms & for what & why. It would be an asset to my ladies I am sure others. Just a thought. Thanks for the great content & the time & energy to provide it.
Tulster Does not make a holster for the 45?
i have a ruger american. it's a good, reliable gun at a reasonable price. easily as good as anything on that table.
I conceal carry my FNX 45 Tactical with a Trigicon RMR every day without any problem.
I carry mine everyday as well what holster do you use ?
what holster do you use?

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Sadly, the holster I use was made by a guy by the name of Jace Powell, of "Powell Custom Holsters," and he's no longer in business.
The original .45 reminds me of the gun that Charlie Hunnam used in ‘Sons of Anarchy.’
Best platform is relative depending on task you want to perform. Range and competition, 1911 hands down. Home defense? FNX 45. Carry options? Anything not larger than Glock 19 and these is a lot of competition there.
good afternoon. i did not get the brand name of the 45 cal that's light colored, 15 rds mag, with suppressor attachment. pls relay to me the specific brand name. tnx a lot.
FNX .45 tactical.
Colt Defender 1911 with alloy frame 24 ozs in 45 cap.
Really didn't speak about the trigger on the FN (double single), there is not better trigger than a 1911 however what are the other triggers which for most shooters it's about the trigger a good percentage of ability to shoot well and the others striker fired
None of those if you want to conceal a Springfield XD mod 2. Would be much better. In my opinion
I love my XDM Mod 2.
I hear the canik tp9 elite combat is like the FN 45 tactical
This guy has never been in a fire fight.
The best one is ,,, the one You have when ya need it .
Ppq 45 is the best...Also ppq 9mil..these guns are the best polimer shooting guns...Also i just picked up a mp sw 2.0 4inch the trigger and that gun is awsome..
How about a STI Staccato P in .45
The FN FNX Tactical is my personal favorite. But I have man size hands and I'm a USMC veteran. In my opinion the only reason the military didn't choose this over the Sig is cost. Sig came out with the cheaper of the two. Cheaper isn't always better.
I agree with you 100%. You have a strong valid point. To me the FNX 45 Tactical is the best 45 on the market hands down. The only thing a 1911 has on it is maybe a better trigger and that’s it.
how could you not include the USP on this list
FNX is probably the sexiest handgun in the world. Add an Trijicon RMR and it's eye candy. Great shooting also btw...
That dessert gold color is tacky looking the black color is amazing
dont hate on FN's 50shades of FDE
Agin a lot of fine pistols missing out of this line up ! Glock H&k sig etc etc . Come on man !
Everyone looks at mag capacity as the only thing that matters but it doesn’t take many rounds to stop someone and reloads are fast and easy
This is why magazine limits are stupid. One 20-round magazine or two 10-round magazines, what's the difference? Maybe a second longer to shoot 20 rounds if you need to reload in the middle? "THINK OF THE LIVES THAT WILL BE SAVED!!!"
And that number is zero.
my FNX 45 tactical outshoots my 1911 all day every day. on top of that it weighs less than the 1911. the fnx is 33.3oz empty with mag 1911 is ~40 oz
Same man! My fnx45tac is a tack driver. Its the best shooting gun I own other than my Beretta 92x performance and I also own that s&w 1911 E-sereies he has on the table with a scandium frame.
Rock Island arms 1911 45, Very reliable and affordable.
Had bad experience with RIA. Never had a single malfunction with my pro carry II.
Sarsilmaz k2-45 a double stack .45 cz clone
I have to say, I've always thought the FN FNX45 is the ultimate high capacity 15+1 combat 45 on the market, I always wanted one and still do, it's just badass, perfect home defense handgun in my opinion, love that beast.
The 1911 is an awesome EDC because it has an awesome trigger and it is slimmer than just about anything. It has a safety because it is single action. If you carry one, you absolutely need to train to disengage the trigger. You have to use a different grip. Your thumb needs to be on the safety to teach it where it belongs. You left out the H&K lineup. How? Have you never shot an H&K? Their recoil system is excellent.
