Glock makes very nice .45s.
The Springfield armory pistol has 7 or 8 in the magazine depending on whose magazine you buy. It also is utterly reliable in function. The thing that stands out with the Springfield is the accuracy. I have shot some very tight groups with this pistol. 25 yards under 2 inches weaver stance. I can't do that everytime, but that is more of a function of the shooter not the pistol. The only frawback that I see with the Springfield is if you want to reload. The glock tends to toss its empties in a nice little pile. The Springfield chunks them everywhere. Also the Springfield tears the mouth of the case on at least one case in every magazine.
With all of that said I usually keep my Glock as my primary home defence pistol. The main reason being is that it has tritium night sights.
Sure do.
I picked up a nice Glock 21 with a Dynamic Finishes Inc. Desert Camo water-transfer paintjob. Added an M-6 laser/flashlight to the rail...it is sweet!!!!
