I've just noticed that it seems this discussion has turned toward the 45 acp round.My opinion is if you want a 45 auto just buy a Glock,that goes for the .40 and the 9mm also. then when you want it to go bang it will and do it every time, without spending 1000.00 or more trying to turn it into a gun you can depend on.I know that this will be offensive to some of you but so be it. I have a nephew who is a Harris co. deputy in Houston Tx. and he swears by colt 1911's and has a good selection of them,they have been tricked and tuned by all manner of gunsmith and he bringes them here to Alabama every summer and the only guns that don't jam are my two Glocks. Of coarse I here all the usual excuses like this is just cheep plinking ammo and it doesn't jam with duty ammo but after enough summers I just say B.S.
