No, and I haven't in a while. 9mm is so much cheaper that I haven't shot my .45 in about a decade or so, and have considered divesting in the caliber entirely.
I'm left with only one .45, the squadron got custom Kimber 1911s with our patches and all on them. It's a nice piece, largely ceremonial. I just wish it were cheaper to shoot.
Feels wrong to own a gun that just sits in the closet with a lock on it forever and never gets used.
Perhaps I'll get a plaque to mount it on the wall.
.45 ACP is a very easy and straightforward cartridge to reload. Perhaps an excellent entry into the world of reloading? The powders for .45 are the same type as shotgun, there are excellent choices of hard cast bullets from various manufacturers and primers are relatively easy to find now. A simple turret press would work just fine.
Purchase a case of excellent Norma 230gr ball as a way to build up your brass supply after you shoot it!
And scour your local outdoor ranges for .45 brass as well.
Just a suggestion.
