I haven't shot the .45 but i did shoot a .40 about a year or so ago.....it was very accurate(and I'm still learning on my 1911) and a very nice looking and feeling gun....it was a friends dad's gun so I don't really know the price or nothing, but I like that gun alot....but then I saw the 1911 and like that one better....just wish I was accurate with it as I was with the baby eagle
