I have a P14-45 limited. I have been shooting only a year and it was what was recommended to me. I like it. My old eyes need the big holes the 45 SWC make.
SSP either Glock 34 or 35 (gamer guns). I did shoot my G23 last night.
ESP Kimber .40. CDP Kimber.45 or Chuck. At least for me, I have found in all calibers that heavy and slow is better than light and fast.
I started off in IDPA with a full sized 1911 with a DA trigger in CDP, using 230 grain ball ammo at 850 fps. I have used a Commander model once using a 185 gr winchester jhp sitting on 9 grains of aa#5 at nearly 975 fps. I use chip MCCormick mags and Colt mags.
Most times i'm shooting an FEG hi power with 115 gr ball ammo by UMC at 1135 fps and I use a mix of factory, mil surplus and ramline magazines.
One of the nice things about this set up is that I can use my galco slide holster for all three of these guns, and my AMS cordura and velcro magazine pouch can hold either single or double stack mags securely and comfortably.
I shoot a pair of raceguns in 40S&W. The All-Sport Forty the gun to play all the gun games where a racegun is legal. As soon as I get some free time I'm going to build me a limited class gun in 40S&W.

IDPA SSP: Glock 23 .40 *&*
IDPA SR: Ruger Security Six .38 special
IDPA ESP: Browning Hi Power 9mm
IPSC Limited 10: STI Trojan 1911 .45 ACP
That's it for now, but I might shoot my Beretta 92 in the IPSC production class sometime too. And I might use the Trojan in IDPA CDP if I feel like it.
My open pin gun is a 45. For steel I use a 9mm. For stock on pins I'm building an STI 5.1 in 40SW. If I really want to wack something hard I use my 460 Rowland. It's fun on pins but overkill.
For the Glock matches I use a stock 17. In revolvers on pins I use 38 spl. cases loaded with 230gr. lead logs. On steel or ICORE I use 38 spl. cases and 125 gr Rainers.
i shoot a wilson combat 45 acp in CDP class, a colt ltwt commander in 9mm in ESP, and an officers 45 acp in back up class, although this year i will use a colt gov. 380 in back up class just to see how it works.
