I have owned 3 of Glock's .40sw, the 22,23 and 27. I have never shot .40 from anything but a Glock. I like the caliber but Glocks sit in my safe. I just cannot get into Glock, so it is not really the .40 as much as the platform.
I think the 9, .40 and .45 are all going to get the job done, if the shooter does their part. For me the .40 and .45 are easer to load into magazines and my aging eyes can see the hole left in the target more easily. Honestly, my opinion of a dream carry 1911 would be an alloy frame 9mm (Commander or Officer) with a double stack 15 round magazine. You'ed get the 1911 platform with the fire power of a wonder-nine. Hi-Powers are cool but I don't care for the safety and DA/SA trigger.
Nothing wrong with 9, .40 or .45. I don't want to be on the receiving end of any of them. Just my $0.02.
