If your a single/double kind of guy the Springfield xd-e 3.3” is a good carry option for those wanting to carry 45 acp.

It’s certainly smaller than the M&P……but it’s 45, it’s single double, and it’s easy to carry……with years in the market.

If your not keen on a “smaller” carry option, the Beretta PX4 Storm full is a good option if you can find one.

About the size of a 4.5” M&P, it’s double/single, and comes in 45. Ugly as heck, but good shooters. They seem to be hard to find in 45.

I've been trying to put my hands on the baretta and haven't had any luck. Thanks for the heads up on the Springfield. For some reason I was thinking they were double action only.

Going through some of dad's stuff and found this little piece. His brother brought it to him from a deployment in Germany in 1952.

I had some crazy luck today. Went out looking for a G43x today and saw a few at some places for $529 + tax/background check fees and up from there. Went to a pawn shop and they didn’t have one. Guy behind the counter said that he bought one new a week ago and hadnt even shot it yet and said something came up and he’d like to sell it just to get his money back.
A couple hours later, he texted me it was there so I bought it from him for much cheaper than the stores prices and without tax and fees. I got crazy lucky. The thing hasn’t even been shot yet. I put some of the extra money intoa good IWB holster for it.

I'm contemplating a purchase. I've got a large frame 45ACP that's not really practical to conceal carry, especially without a jacket. I'd like to stay in the .45. I have other guns I could carry in .40SW and .380 but I'd like something else. I've looked at the beretta px45 but I can't find one to put my hands on. It may be too large for IWB carry. I went to a local shop today and they had a used S&W MP45 in very good condition. They were asking $499 but said they'd take $479. $479 is where they go for new. This one did have a few extra mags and a laser made specifically for the shield and it integrated perfectly in front of the trigger guard. That being said I don't really care about the laser.

Thoughts?

I carry a Glock 30S, IWB, appendix carry, with a G21 mag for a reload. I go 5-11 and a buck-eighty, and with an untucked overshirt no print at all.

An LEO buddy and I stopped by the gun show in Gainesville, GA this weekend. He was shopping for a new carry pistol, and I was morbidly curious about the state of prices (particularly on ammo). Aside from a nice old stainless S&W .357 and a handful of C&R type rifles (an M1 carbine and a few Enfields) that caught my eye, I was pretty underwhelmed. Ammo prices were high (as expected), but I figured that would be the case going in. Had a good conversation with a retired Atlanta PD detective who was working one of the sellers' tables. It was a good way to kill a few hours on a Saturday morning.

Everything has shot sky high.

Indeed, although some of the online ammo sellers' prices are starting to drop down to somewhere around the mesosphere or so...when it is in stock.

Academy had 150 rd boxes of 9mm and 200 rd boxes of 5.56. Got 2 of each

Placed a backorder for the HK SP5. Let's see how long it takes

Cool. Couldn't see paying quite that much (I carry a VP9SK) and got a CMMG Banshee 300 Mk4 in 9mm. Love it and a little less than half the price of the SP5.

I got to carry an MP5 for a bit in Iraq. It’s as close as I can get.

Fun doesn’t have a price.

I've shot the MP5, although not in service as you apparently have, and you're right, it is fun. Half the price buys a lot of ammo and the Banshee is a pretty cool gun, but it is not an MP5.

That's just a small AR

Not saying it's a bad gun, but there's nothing "special" about a Banshee

Yeah. Why everyone has one, right?

You like it dude. That’s all that matters. Who gives a f*** what I think.

I know it’s not the same, but I’ve seen a few places had the Century Arms AP5 in stock….around $2600 ish to $2800

Just saw an IWI Jericho 45 on gun broker.

Personally I like the sf Jericho’s as much as CZ’s.

My Jericho is my go too. Never give me any issues.

Strangely, Academy is the cheapest place around where I live to get 9 mm ammo. They're usually a little high on most things, but right now they have the best ammo prices in our area.

My wife wants the 43x for her personal carry. It's a little small for my hand, but most of the LEO's I'm around use it for personal carry as well. I haven't found one for less than 549.

I work in sales on the road, and I still carry the Taurus g3c, which is a little bulkier than the 43x and fits my hand a little better. I've put around 300 rounds through this thing, and I've grown to love it. The $249 price tag helps a lot too... Guess I'll get her the Glock and just hang on to my Taurus for a while.
