Whatzup girlfriend?!
Just wondering if any other ladies still out there on TGO! Just kinda feeling like a 5th wheel lately...
 Wondering if any ladies carry anything in .45, looking for advice in this area. Whatcha got & how do you like it? I'm thinking of getting one, a big caliber "just for fun"...

Things have been pretty slow with the girls around here it seems. I figure with the kids out of school and home more, many of the women that were posting just don't have the time right now.
I'm still here though! I haven't been shooting too much lately......I don't want to shoot up my reserve supply of ammo and it's still difficult to find any at Walmart. So you want a .45 hmmm? I shoot .40 myself.....seems to be a good compromise between 9mm and .45 IMO. If you like Glocks, you might want to check out the G36.....it's a sub-compact single stack .45. Since it's a single stack, the grip is much slimmer and easier to wrap your hand around. I've heard nothing but good about the XD line too. Be sure to let us know what you decide on.......pics and a range report would be awesome too!

I'm still around...I hardly ever post in here though.
No .45. Only time I've ever shot one it was a 1911 and the target lived to see another day.

I'm definitely around.
I LOVE my 1911! I have a Taurus PT 1911. I like the smaller contoured grips on it. I'm actally getting better shooting it than my Sig 9mm.

I don't have a .45 but I do have a 650 and getting ready to trade up to a 950 LOL..... OK OK I know you didn't mean a bike.
I have two 9mm's and a .380. So can't help in the .45 quest. I use to be here a lot but I have so much going that I don't have time to get on here like I would like.

dizzielizzie, shot the .45 yesterday and let me tell ya, I spent my day at the
Greenville gun show looking for one for myself now! I really like shooting all my guns. I have a Kel Tec P-11, P-32 and a Colt M4 OPS .22LR. Now after shooting my husbands 1911 I'm looking to add to one to my collection or a Bond Arms Snake Slayer 45/410. Decisions, decisions

Well I usually check out the site everyday. It is usually over my husbands shoulder. I am extemely busy. I have 2 kids, full time job, remodleing house to move into, and the husband.
I only have a S&Wm&p9 and a 380 kel-tec. I have not shot a .45. The old man I call my husband has one, a 1911. Maybe the next time at the range.
