i have done research into the problem , why the ejected catridges hit my face . its because of bigger ejection ports on glock and hk handguns. the ejection port extends upwards and some rounds are not ejected sideways but upward and backward to the face. what do you think?

plus, i am right handed but my dominant eye is left so gun is right in front of my face so, the probability of ejected catridge hittin my face is higher compared to shooters with right dominant eye.

can you please guide me in choosing the a handgun in .45 auto with following chracteristics?

1. extreamely reliable and very durable

2. polygonal barreling and other any features for highest accuracy.

3. ejection port to the right (not extended upwards).

4. decocker and manual safety(with safety on the pin should be blocked and not just the trigger).

5. fast target accquisition sights ( eg 3 dots or glock type sights , and perferrably night sights to glow in dark)

6. medium or just compact size for concealed carry( but in no way the compactness should compromise the reliability and durability factor. meaning, size factor can be compromised but not the reliability and long service life factor of the gun).

7. smoothest and lightest trigger pull possible as in my experience trigger pull adds considerably to acccuracy.

8. light weight if possible (but not at the stake of any traits mentioned above).

your help will be very much appreciated,

Is money a consideration?

If not, you can hardly go wrong with a Wilson Combat. However, ANY make is a good one after it has been tended to by a professional 1911 smith.

If money IS a consideration, get yourself one of the “loaded” Springfield offerings.

Avoid Kimber.

Springfield Armory "Milspec" G.I. Issue. I have one of these and it shoots sweet!

If you can compromise on caliber,then Walter p-5 is your best bet(ejection port on the left side).

Doesn’t meet all the critereia, but;
1. SIG
2. Glock

Neither requires a trip to the armorer before you’ll be comfortable trusting it.

Why Kimber? Just curious.

Kimber has been, of late, pandering to the anti-gun elements out there; notably supporting the microstamping bullsqueeze out of Kalefornia.

However, that is a political stand. They make a D@MN fine weapon.

I'm no expert, but I had the impression that polygonal rifling was less accurate than conventional rifling.

Mr. Z,

My shooting style is similar to yours.

I have an H&K USP Compact and a Beretta Cougar that have many of the spec’s you outlined. I like both. However, because of its size, I carry the H&K when traveling. I sure other FReepers will have varied opinions regarding your question.

Depends on the ammo used.

I’m no expert either, but that’s what I’ve been told.

In my experience, shells in the face come from limp-wristing, or flinching.

Un huh.

Sure is a sweet pistol. I’d kinda like one of those myself.

Colt New Agent.

But then again, my recommendation is a biased one. ; )

Yup.

My NEXT pistol will be the SA Loaded Ultra Compact. Kicks like a Missouri mule, but imminently suitable for tote-along pest control. Smaller than a lot of mid-sized 9mm’s.
