I was not a big fan of the .45. Too much kick, too heavy and limited ammo. The .40 Glock had less recoil and weight plus a larger ammo capacity. |

Never fired a .40, but I want to hit something once not need to use 3+ rounds making the larger ammo capacity pointless. This of course assumes you hit, true a larger ammo capacity give you more chances to do so.
