Any input as to which I should look for to get a .45 ACP?
Very different pistols, obviously. What are you looking to do with either of those? CCW, SD/HD, competiton shooting or some of all three? If it's to be a CCW, are you able to comfortably hide a full-size gun?
Good luck in your decision.
This has been posted for a while, but here is my take: I had a Glock 21 as a police duty pistol, and I carried a Glock 30 off duty, and for detective call-outs. I ended up having to qualify with both pistols, and remarkably, I shot better with the compact.
My solution was to ditch the 21 and carry the 30 both on and off duty. For on duty, I used a 21 magazine with a grip extension, which gave the 30 basically the same grip configuration as the 21. It also made the gun look more "normal" in a duty holster.
Since I shot better with the 30, and had it tricked out with night sights and a Lasermax laser, I felt it was the best of both worlds. Plus, qualification time was cut in half not having to shoot twice.
Our range officer thought I was nuts at first, but he quickly bought into the idea.
I tried to post pics, but they wouldn't upload. I will try again later.
I use a 1911 for house defence and a G30 as my carry around
Like flieger67 said it depends on what you are going to use it for
I'd go with the G21, but that's just me. I like full sized pistols.
Get both.Then you can't go wrong....:smt033
I agree!:mrgreen:
