I was wondering as to which brand makes the most accurized .45.

What type of pistol? Single action? Double action? Combo?

And some say it is every bit the equal (or the better) of the Baers, Wilsons, Browns.

The largest cartridge you can carry concealed is 45 caliber.

I wonder how many other states have the same restriction?

After owning all of the aforementioned and now a Guncrafter you can count me among those who say they are better except for Wilson Supergrades.

Any semi-custom 1911 with hand-loaded ammo is going to be about as accurate as you can get. I've had good luck with Hornady 230 gr and a variety of powders.

I think the most accurate for the money would be a Les Baer Premier II with the 1.5" @ 50 yard guarantee.

Almost any 1911 is more accurate than the hand that holds it. A shop I worked for used to have a Ransom Rest and whenever a customer would bring in a gun claiming it was inaccurate we would lock it into the rest and let them watch their "inaccurate" gun chew the center out of a bullseye. :D

I feel bad for the person who said that Ok won't allow concealed carry for anything bigger than a .45. I spent my younger adult years in Tennessee and Georgia and came to NH about 12 years ago. The .50GI is legal to carry in the 1911 variant up here. I have owned a Desert Eagle .50AE and carried it in a shoulder holster at the range. I find that as I get "older" I am better served with calibers I enjoy shooting... .357Sig, .38spl and .357mag, .40 S&W,.41 mag, .44mag/ spl., .45acp, .9mm and .380acp and practice so that I can place my shots as needed. Some rounds for me, like the 10mm, just make too much commotion and are harder to handle. Having said all that blather I have to admit I have been enamored of .45acp handguns since I was 12.
