If people dont start using the term standard capacity, I think Bane might go into Haz's "clip" mode.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ericire12: what's wrong in asking for a .45 that holds a lot of ammo via calling it high cap?

Tommy Gun?

If you're not a fan of the 1911, what are you a fan of?

Bane hates that term as much as Haz hates the term Clip...... and he is right, It was coined by the far left gun grabbers.

Example: Standard capacity .45 Glock magazine holds 13 rounds...... Brady wants standard capacity to be defined as 10 rounds...... a true high capacity .45 Glock magazine holds 25 rounds and extends well behond the length of a standard magazine

I beleive the term that we should be using is "double stack." 

Single Stack = One round on top of the other
Double Stack = Rounds alternate from side to side.  Not truely two seperate stacks, but alternating about a third to a half cartridge diameter to the side

A 1911 (single stack) will have a magazine capacity of seven or eight rounds (I don't want to debate that all over again), and a 2011 (double stack) will have a capacity of 13 or 14 rounds. 

All of that being said ...

If you don't like the 1911 I would not look at the 2011.  You would probably want to look at Glock, M&P, XD or some similar design.  They may all look similar, but the differences between them can be huge between shooters.  Go to a gun shop and handle them.  Then go to a range that rents guns and try them.

Good Luck!

sorry about the magazine gaffe. I would like to find a double stack.45 with more capacity than my 7 round p 90. I was sort of leaning toward the hk or a glock but was looking for an outside opinions. I dont have anything against 1911s other than I already own a .45 with 7 round, wanted more like 13.

Have you looked at the FNP-45?  It's kind of a handful.

I believe the Springfield XD(M), is coming out with, (maybe out already), a larger round capacity .45 ACP.

Seems all the Gun mags have the XD's on the cover. American Rifleman (Feb.) has the # of rounds at 13. in the .45.

Not a 1911,  fondle all you can.
