recommendations on a .45 spoon

[Joe Bob]

I have residence in a State that allows large cap pistols. I sold off all my autos during the divorce.

I've owned Glocks, the Smith Sigma and a few other polymer frames.

I want to go to a matte finish alloy/steel in .45. Large capacity for Zombie termination. Para Ordinance from Canada looks decent.

Any other suggestions? Anyone have one for purchase (contact me off line)?

I am going to sell my Smith Chief S/S .357 and keep my back up AirLite.

You must have big hands.
I might have 20 .45's but none are high cap.

My thought would be 1911, but then, those aren't exactly high-cap.

It's too bad you aren't selling a Smith 357 with 6" barrel in nickel. It'd be sold already. I've been looking for one for a while and have had 2 slip through my hands.

CZ97b or EAA Witness. W/ the witness, you can get cheap caliber conversions from 45 to 10mm, 40sw, 9mm, 38super, or 22lr. I beleive the CZ you can get a 22lr kit, but not the others.

para 14.45 i had wasn't particularly reliable... Regular stovepipes misfeed problems.

If you are swearing off plastic look at the new Sig P227. -J

I shot a para with the double stack mag and I didn't like how fat it felt in my hand.

As to CalGuns, thanks but prefer not to have to register it and don't want to Feinstien it with 10 round mags.

Had ambi safety, full length guide rod, special springs, all the usual crap. Heavy MO FO.

Bought my dad a Sig 220 .45 for his 60th. They're not cheap, but I have purchased 2 Sigs new, and felt they are worth every penny.

If you are looking at a 1911, I would lean towards a Springfield or Kimber. I know lots of folks are down on Kimber, but I swear, their Custom II is just about the most accurate gun I have every shot.

If you want a double stack, Sig or H&K are hard to go wrong with. But don't go shoot a 1911, all of a sudden the double stack high cap stuff won't matter so much. I have a box stock Springfield MilSpec 1911 that is fantastic, and much more accurate than I am.

Early Paras were ok, the newer stuff is made of broken.

How about a Ruger SR45 or 1911? Ruger® SR45™ Centerfire Pistol Models

I would go for a BUL transmark M5, lika a glock and a 911 all in one package!
