ZGX my favorite pistols to shoot are my Colt 70 Series Gold Cop National Match .45 pistols. 2 blues and one is finished in nickel out of the custom shop. They are so sweet. For old technology they are real tack drivers also.

3H,

Well you definitely have great taste, won't sacrifice on quality and own a solid pool of pistols in which to base your experience! I think I am pretty much decided on pursuing one at some point. I am 100% confident in the ability of my 21C to resolve whatever threat I may meant in the course of my duties but as you mentioned, for old (insert: reliable) technology they get the job done. The 1911 is a combat pistol and when needed on the streets, it is combat thus the pistol's bread and butter!

Was thinking of going with the Colt Series 70 (Reissued) in matte blue as a base. Then having Specialized Armament add some tweaks such as the Ed Brown safety, a Dawson light rail, Strider Gunner Grips in black, an X300 with Dawson adaptor and refinished to mil-spec standard as is on my Commando. Reliability and more than adequate combat accuracy and it's a winner. Regardless, either way I still have the old and trusted .45 ACP to work with! Has gotten to the point where I just cannot shoot a 9MM or .40 S&W as they bore me lol.

That Walthers P22 is a real tack driver too.... My ex had one and I was very impressed with it..... There's one at the gun dealer I bought my contender from and I'm seriously considering it....

I used to do a lot of reloading when I was shooting a lot and the .45 is such an easy round to load. I got rid of my 9mm pistols because the cases crimp/crush so easily. I was shooting/loading about 500 rounds per week and the .45 was painless to reload. I really liked my Sig 220s also. I ran a lot of rounds through my Dillon 550.

I thought about getting into reloading, because of the rising price of rounds (.45 as well, ouch). I don't get to shoot enough here (atleast in the civilian world) for it to pay off. I can't wait to get out of New York.

I don't really shoot enough to do any reloading right now either. I have my CCW. Only had one time where it came in handy. Can't carry in California though.

CCW's in Cali are hard to get, but not impossible depending on what county you reside in.

I'm in Orange County. Wasn't too bad when Corona was sheriff at first but once he started getting in trouble it got harder.
