Is that what he used? Please show the citation. Since he "reloaded several times" I was thinking he used a revolver...
If you saw the pics of him at home, he was holding the Glock in several of the pictures. Also a .45acp revolver is somewhat rare. I can think of a couple of manufacturers, but you just don’t see many out there.

Here is his gun. It appears to be a G41 with a laser sight. If he got it new he got one spare mag with it. He may have bought more at time of purchase. Its about half way down the page.
From CNN story *here*:
On Thursday, investigators did a trace of the handgun used in Wednesday's shooting and determined that it was a .45-caliber handgun Roof purchased from a Charleston gun store in April, two law enforcement officials told CNN's Perez and Bruer. Roof purchased a Glock .45-caliber model 41, which holds 13 rounds, a federal law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation said. Witnesses have reported that Roof reloaded a number of times
From Affidavits spell out chilling case against Dylann Roof:
CHARLESTON — As a subdued Dylann Roof made his first official appearance Friday on charges of killing nine people at a historic black church, police affidavits offered grim details of the murder case, including an allegation that the gunman fired multiple shots into each victim and stood over them to issue "a racially inflammatory statement."
The documents also said that Roof's father and uncle contacted police to positively identify the 21-year-old as the suspect after authorities issued photos of the gunman within hours of the attack at the Emanuel AME Church in downtown Charleston Wednesday evening.
The father, according to the documents, also told investigators that his son owned a .45 caliber handgun. The documents note that .45 caliber casings were found at the scene of the shootings. ... .
...A federal law enforcement official who is not authorized to speak publicly confirmed that Roof's father had given him a .45-caliber handgun for his 21st birthday in April. Police are analyzing the weapon recovered from Roof's car after his arrest to see whether it matches the firearm used in the attack and whether it is the same gun he received as a birthday gift. ... .
