P320 45, then 220, then HK. Just can't get over how cheap glocks feel and look. The slide on the 21 is so wide you can land a 747 on that thing.

P320 45: 1.4 inch

Glock 21 gen4: 1.27 inch

Got mine and installed the LEM trigger. And I love the ergos. Accuracy beats out my SA Trp. I also own a full frame glock 21. I haven't shot that gun in years.

FNX Tactical... I want one sooo bad.

Surprised no one mentioned the FNX-45 with 15 round magazine. Here is a review.

Actually, someone did. Not mentioned in the thread, but the link takes you to a well done review of it.

Here is a nice vid on my choice...

I have had a USP 45 for years, and it is 100% reliable. My new FDE FNX-45 has since pushed it to the back of the safe. Concerns about soft polymer were unfounded with my pistol, as it does not flex or move any more than any other polymer pistol I own. I added a Surefire X300U in FDE color and a few extra mags. Just a beast of a handgun and very soft shooting.

If I haaad to nitpick, I'd say it should have night sights. But for around $750 OTD, I can live with white dots.

I read your post and I respect your conclusions. So far, my limited range time has been positive. I bought extra mags for it and even took off my cheapskates and splurged on a bunch of different .45acp duty ammo for reliability testing. I only have 98 rounds through it so far and it shot fine. I left it in my hot car on purpose all day but there still wasn't any appreciative flex.
