HK USP Match
dual wield lara croft style...
Had a HK .40 USP for a while.  Cannot say I cared much for the egonomics.   It worked, of course.

not many options for a optic ready 45acp.
Guess I am sliding more back into old school all the time. 

Never considered an optic for a sidearm.   Seems counter-inutitive to make the simple backup gun more complex and easily damaged.

Hell, I have even gone back to aperture sights on my two air rifles.  If my eyesight goes to hell, all bets are off.  For now, being farsighted works with iron sights.

I had a FNX45 Tactical a few years ago. It was a soft shooting gun, but for the time I had it, I couldn't get used to how blocky the grip felt.

I've looked into the HK45CT a few times. Haven't held or shot it. I was interested in it because it's a cool guy gun.

Same focus plane. 

As my eyes "age", I've found that RDS on handgun helps for a number of reasons.  Biggest one being focus plane.

Soft shooting in general?  Or compared to a 1911?

I don't recall shooting the FNX45.  I think I just shot the 9 version. 

And nothing wrong with a "cool guy gun"  :thumbsup:

Hen teeth rare. And when they do pop up, I've seen them go 2k up. Easy. Getting into custom gun prices at that point. One day hopefully the stars will align :worship:

After owning and getting used to a few .44 Magnums, the 1911 IS a soft shooting gun.

I shot a friends 9 mm snubby revolver. Was pretty nice. Since I try to have a good amount of 9 on hand, a 9 snubby revolver would be fun. I don’t have much 45, but I do want to shoot more of it.

But 2k? Wow! Hope you find one!

Ahh. What I figured you meant since you’re a pretty seasoned shooter.

5” 1911s are easy shooting, but some of the polymer subcompact 45s are meh at best.
