The impossible 1911 .45 ACP handgun!
11/06/22 03:24 AM

I like many here desire a Colt 1911 .45 ACP pistol. But since 2003 owning a handgun larger than .38 calibre has been very difficult. Many were handed in during the second firearm confiscation in 2003.

But larger than .38 can be approved for Metal silhouette target competition. The justification is the larger projectile is needed to knock down a metal target. I believe revolvers are usually used? Or other firearm types.

I was at a gunship this weekend Nd make an ad hoc enquiry. A salesman there, here in Adelaide is believe it or not from Pennsylvania! And he uses .45 ACP for Metal silhouette. So it is possible! No way to find out except by trying an application. And of course joining a new club and shooting a minimum of four competitions per year. Would be fun anyway.

So maybe a Colt 1911 .45 ACP is in my future? I was thinking .22 RF handgun next, but now choices?

Other than the Colt 1911 .45 ACP, what other choices do members recommend? Lots of .45 choices.
