Welcome to the forum Sir Emmms2004. IMO .40 caliber has a more manageable recoil than .45 and offers good stopping power as well. But, personally I still prefer the .45 because it has been around for quite a long time and is a proven round. Whatever your choice is, I'm sure you won't go wrong because it's an Armscor. ;D For engraving maybe you could try Col. Bayang.

Hello, Sir! :D


Torned between .40S&Ws or .45ACPs?
First, some questions for your questions. What do you intend to do with your soon-to-be FA?
Do you plan to engage in shooting competitions in the near future? Or, you just want to have something for defense?

.45s’ has the reputation of being a “man-stopper”, proven by time. Basically, it was designed to be as such. This caliber is “BIG but slow”.

On the other side, .40S&Ws’ bullet trajectory is a lot more “flatter” than any other caliber in todays’ configurations. It boast of a spin-drift rate of about 2.5 times more than the .45 has. High-velocity, that is.

Again, shooting experts will keep on reiterating “SHOT PLACEMENT! SHOT PLACEMENT! & SHOT PLACEMENT!”. While it (placement) is true, let me throw a question even a Sixth-grader will heave a sigh for an answer – IF YOU ARE TO BE HIT BY BOTH CALIBERS ON THE VERY SAME SPOT OF YOUR BODY, WHICH DO YOU THINK WILL CREATE MORE DAMAGE? THE BIGGER OR THE smaller PUNCH?

Sana kahit paano ay nabigyang-linaw ko ang inyong mga katanungan, Sir emmms2004. :)

makatotohanan ang sinabi ng Kapunuang si Rajah Hydra. tunay ngang mistulang kidlat sa lakas ang .45

bro hydra said it all. my vote goes to the .45acp...

you can also go to a firing range and rent pistols in both calibers to make up your mind. the weapon usually chooses the warrior.

Credits to Sir HydraShok as always! I agree with Sir Luckyjo04102, try out the 2 calibers in a firing range and justify which one works/manageable for you. I leave you the liberty to choose po but In my opinion, go for the .45 Caliber Sir Emmms2004 :) (The bigger the hole, the more damage u can inflict on a bad guy)

By the way Welcome to the forums Sir Emmms2004 :)

P.S.

If you have already chosen what caliber you want, and I think this applies to all of us shooters regardless of what caliber we use.

Just:

1. Learn how to use your weapon effectively.

and

2. Learn how to hit what you aim at.

as what I have said in my signature :)

Good Day!

though you may see my posts on other threads opposing the .45acp and that bullet diameter doesn't matter..between the two choices..I would definitely go for a .45..now if options include a 9mm???That's a different story ;D..

Engraving cost depends on how detailed or how large you want the engravings to be..so no one can tell but the simplest one would cost you around Php1.5-2k.. ;)

Mas okay ang .45 cal. Maraming choices ng bala at marami sa local market. May ramp ang barrel ang .40 cal in order to support the higher pressure of this bullet. ;)

Sir Echofox, In my opinion, mas mkakamura po ata kayo kung ittry nio muna ung Hogue Wrap-Around grip. This makes your grip tighter on the gun and it helps lessen the recoil. Tried and tested ko npo kc sa 1911-A1 .45 Caliber Compact Size Practical Series, kaya what more kung naka .40 FSPS pa kau :) Yun nga lng mas magiging makapal ang grip ng gun nyo pero other than that, I do not see any other disadvantage of Hogue Wrap-Around grip. Just my 2 cents Sir. Good Day. :)

Agree ako kay Bro Christian sir..practice more nalang po on managing recoil than try to lessen it..

Based on my experience sir, sa una lang matigas ang stock springs, bago pa kasi..kalaunan sa kakapractice nyo lalambot din yan at masasanay na ang kamay nyo sa recoil..ganyan din kasi ako before sir binalak ko ding magpalit ng recoil spring, may thread pa nga ako dito about dun..at ang nakakatawa pa ay 9mm lang ang gamit ko ;D.. Basta practice lang po..make sure proper ang grip sa pistol.. ;)

Yes Sir ganun po kc ung ginawa ng isa nating Brother dito sa forum on his 1911-A1 Compact Size Practical Series. Stock lahat and grips lng pinalitan nia. Agree po ako kay Sir Taledski. Practice lng po ng practice Sir, masasanay nlng po kayo sa FA nyo. Before you know it, you'll be taking follow-up shots a lot faster ;)

Just to be clear Sir..yung Hogue Grips na tinutukoy ni Bro Christian(simplyaccurate) ay yung nasa kaliwa po worth Php1300-1500, yung nasa kanan kasi sir ay Crimson Trace Laser Grips which costs around Php10k-15k(or more), medyo pricey na for a pair of grips ;D...

@ echofox

Bro, depende sa purpose ng FA mo kung magpapalit ka o hindi ng recoil spring. Kung for defense purpose lang, mas maganda kung stock ang mga springs mo. Sa mga sumasali sa competition, nagpapalit sila ng recoil spring at firing pin spring para less ang recoil - depende sa load ng ammo na gagamitin nila.

Kung gusto mo talagang mag-try na palitan ang recoil spring mo, try mo Wolff springs na 14lbs. Recoil at Firing pin springs na ang kasama sa package.

Yung Houge grips na suggested ni bro simplyaccurate (Unobtrusive), ayos na ayos yun. May 1 year na rin na nakakabit sa A2-45 ko. At yung sinabi ni bro Taledski, "PRACTICE", ito yung pinaka-importante sa lahat ;)

If I'm not mistaken, 180gr yata ang .40SW ng Armscor, hindi ko alam kung meron silang mas mababa. Tugma ito syempre sa stock springs. Better pm mo na lang si sir willie (wdl) para mas maganda. Tsaka kapag nakuha mo na yung FA mo bro, break-in agad. Baka hindi mo na nga kailangang magpalit ng springs eh
