I had the 40 S&W all models of Glock and a Kahr, sold or traded them all ... I Almost bought a .41AE (Action Express) instead of 40S&W and it would have looked great next to my 8-track tapes, betamax and OS/2 computer operating system disksC-dub wrote:I switched from .40 to .45 after shooting one of TAMs .45''s. I also didn't know about double stack .45's early on or I might have started with one of the Glocks. However, they didn't have the SF models back then and my hands aren't big enough for the regular ones.
The .40 was recommended to me by an LEO friend. As for round count, with my 21SF I only give up 2 rounds per mag and I think the .45 is easier to shoot than the .40.
After two friends, Officer Jeff Ginn and Officer Les Early were killed, I supplied several Pasadena Police Officers with Glock .40 guns (and some 870 shotguns, and some other weapons) to replace revolvers in the late 1980s/early 1990s a couple got used on duty defending lives..
I carry Glock Model 30S : about the size of a Glock 26, (smaller than a 19, slightly bigger than a 26/27 but holster fits) in .45, I carry loaded with Glock 21 mag +2 baseplate for 16 rounds of .45 (15+1) using Xgrip mag spacer and PearceGrip +2 base plate on the Glock 21 Magazine.
Glock Model 30S Generation 3
(Slim frame like the 30SF model, can use 30SF frame parts +
