The one you shoot the best that fits in your budget. For me, I wanted to like 1911s, but just couldnt shake the fact that they're old technology and will be expensive to make one reliable and accurate. I then wanted to like the fn line because of capacity... but they feel like holding a brick. Hk's are nice, but expensive. The hk45 feels VERY comfortable... but i like striker fired guns.
I ultimately arrived at my m&p45. After tossing some apex trigger doodads in, the trigger feels doable. Reset still isn't great, but the break, weight, and travel are nice. Any malfunctions have been due to ammo. It carries easy for the size and I just bought a bunch of mags for $10 each on aimsurplus. Plus it was like $500 with this and a threaded barrel on budsguns.
Out of the guns I've shot, I shoot it the best... so it wins nightstand position. You'll have to figure out what gun fits you the best for the monet you're willing to spend. That will be the best 45 for you.

Yeah. I need one. I only have this. Barrel extends to the end of the compThe only one designed to be an offensive handgun in the military.

Hooray for comp'd 45s. The lone wolf comp makes the m&p stupid easy to shoot... and it works better the hotter the load is.
Now I gotta learn about comps. Damn you.

Yeah, it'll get that .45 recoil down to .40 levels.
Yeah, and the FBI also says that they didn't try on Melania's underwear while they were at Mara Lago.
Mitt lahza sighting?
Just kidding, I'd get a Glock 41.
Yeah, maybe, but their planned future adversaries are Amish farmers, people who might have seen Brandon's daughter's diary, and parents who attend school board meetings.

It's still different than the 9 and especially 40 in feel. 45 with the comp just has a predictable push without the pop feel. For whatever reason, it's easier for me to shoot well when shooting fast.
With the FDE rmr, and the FDE surefire, it really is 50 shades of S*&^
Just need to do a .460 rowland conversion.

The 11th Commandment..."They All Fall to Hardball".
If you want to believe that...Jeff Cooper did...but that was in the days of hollow points that either didn't open reliably or didn't feed when they did.

Sig P220 is pretty cool. P227 adds capacity, but feels kinda like gripping a fence post.
Nice pistol. I like the SC scandium E series as well.
Best for 45 ACP?
Why S&W 625 JM, of course!
