Colt .45 or Glock 30?
Both .45 cal guns.
I learned to shoot with the Colt .45 and absolute love the gun. Thing is, it seems nearly impossible to find a decent deal on one. I'd want one like the one I learned on, medium brown grip, gold emblem.
On another note, I usually hate the Glock, but I'd be willing to check a few out and see how I like the Glock 30.
Choices choices

you have good taste in pistols. i dont own any glocks, but have 2 colts, 1 remington rand and 2 ithacs all ww11 eras. the colt 45s are antiquated. get a pistol in double action. may i suggest, a baretta cougar. its double action only, high capacity mag, and no safeties at all. just point and pull the trigger, just like a revolver, idot proof. i also have several ballaster mollinia 45s { colt clones}that were made in argentina, on colt toolings, during the war. they go for about 200.00 or close to it, if you must have an antiqated firearm and want to have that style, they are a good bang for the buck.

..if possible , I'd try to find a Sig P220 or H-K USP21....I also have a Colt officer's ACP lightly modified with a few items from King's....nothing wrong with a 1911A1 style setup..

I was going to say the same thing, it barely has a kick back for such a high caliber gun. Very impressive.

I own a glock 34 comp. gun. I shoot regularly and the gun works great. However if you got the $$$$$buy an STI. It can't be beat. But for a work horse of a gun go with the glock......

I have a Glock 21 which is basicly the Glock 30 with a longer Slide and a longer handle. It's a very accurate gun and has never jammed on me once. Things to consider about Colt 45's(1911's); some are made for bullseye shooting and some are made for carry and reliability. A lot of the high-end 1911's are built with very tights tollerances for accuracy, which is nice for a bullseye shooter, but after it gets a little grimey, jamming can be an issue. If it's something you plan on betting your life on, you can get something a little more loose that will be accurate for any shot you would need unless in a competition and will be more reliable. As for the Glock, it's nice to have a gun the can be taken appart into 34 pieces in less than 10 minutes by an ape where a 1911 should never be more than field stripped if you don't know what you are doing. The Glock 30 can also hold 10 rounds in the mag(or 13 if you use a Glock 21 mag) where a 1911 can only hold 7 or 8. The finish on Glocks are the toughest you will find on any gun, but are ugly compared to a hand built 1911.
I'd suggest looking through the phonebook and finding a few ranges that rent pistols so you can try them side by side. Good luck bro.

to justin sane....yall cant have guns in canada? do only the crooks gotem? what about yall street gangs, what they use? sticks and stones? lol to hung-so, both are fine weapons, like my old buddy tells me: they are cheap guns and they are good guns, but, they aint no good cheap gun. to new brew...the only springfield armoreys i got or both rifles, 1- m-1 garand ( oct 44) and 1 m-1a1. as far as ergonomics in pistols go....my 1938 luger (all matching ,all markings intact and no import markings) is the best pointing pistol i own. but as for my choice in personal pertection goes in a hand gun its my .44 charter arms revolver. just to big for concealed carry. for that i use my american arms 5 shot revolver in .22 mag, i have a wallet holster it fits in, and the first shot can be discharged with out it coming out of the wallet. wish a bad guy would say...stickem-up and give me your wallet. good luck in finding your dream machine...........charlie r

why the glock 30? why not the G21 (full size)
Or you could go with the new GAP.45 round. They fit sweet in your hand. A buddy of mine just got one. I was very envious and it made my G21 look like a boat ancor (sp?)

It allows for a .45 projectile to fire from a frame the size of around a 9mm.
It's basicly a cut off .45 round that is pack at a different pressure than a traditional .45 ACP.
Here's a little about it w/ some pics...

despite my avatar, i would go with the 1911. the grip of a glock in 45 can get a little fat for my taste and i think every real gun owner should own a 1911. springfield armory is great for what you pay and is what i may get when i can save up some cash, but the kimbers give me wet dreams!

I wouldnt carry anything other than a glock for personal protection. if its targets practice and for fun then the colt is a nice gun as are many 1911's. for ptotection though the only thing i trust my life with is a point and shoot glock!! Always chambered and ready to go. My favorite hanguns all around hands down are the HK USP and P2000. Nothing is as sweet shooting as a Silenced HK USP tactical.

I also like the fact that the XD has the safety on the grip..makes nice for carrying.
This same frame is .40 or .45 GAP:

Well, I got a chance to play around with an XD gun, I am sold. First of all, the glock 30 is out the door. grip is way too short. Its made for the hands of a chubby woman. Unless, I suppose, you need a concealed weapon.
The XD has basically a perfect grip and feel. Balance is great. 1 more thing for the x-mas list....

i wouldnt choose an Xd over a glock simply because your pinky doesnt stay on grip. they make a pinky extension for that. 1st time you try to fire that gun rapid fire at the range and it doesnt fire after a few rounds cause your hand is not on that gay safety remember i told you it sucked.
