Thanks for the info. I've been eyeing the Glock .40 for a while, but I might just opt for the .45.

I own the Glock 21 myself, and couldn't recommend it more. The only drawback is the large size which makes it difficult to conceal, and the large grip which might be bad for small hands. The 30 and 36 would be good to look at if either is an issue, though they both probably buck like mules, and the 36 only carries 6 shots. For my money, the Glock is the ultimate "shoots when you pull the trigger" pistol, and the .45 is the ultimate "kills when you hit the target" round. Practicality when your life depends on it. Can't beat that! The Glock is the ideal combat pistol, particularly for the field where pistols tend to get dirty and take a beating. The Army is criminally insane for continuing to issue that Italian POS peashooter.

As of right now, I'd probably pass on the .45 GAP and stick with the tried, true, and available .45 ACP. Speaking of which, has anyone tried the .45 GAP?

The Glock 30 is just the right size.

10 rounds of .45 ACP

Carries well.

Recoil is very manageable.

I would recommend the butt plug for grip comfort.
