Glock makes very nice .45s.

I have both the milspec Springfield .45 auto and the Glock model 21 .45 auto. I like both of them but here are a few things to consider. The Glock of course has more ammo available at 13 rounds in the magazine. However, that makes for a very thick grip. I have very large hands so it does not bother me. out of all the other people who have tried it usually only men who are at least 5'10" will have hands big enough to wrap around the grip. The Glock shoots adequately as far as accuracy and is utterly reliable when it comes to functionality.

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!!!!
