ok... I'll weigh in here.... I'm thinking we all know the history behind the 40sw... so I'll leave it alone. I just don't like the snappy feel that I get from a 40. I handle a nine better than the 40, but the "push" that I get from the .45acp is the most comfortable for me.
That said, my feeling for the 45 round is not just from my experience with 1911s. I have a GLOCK 21SF (yes, I said the G word, and if I were from FLORIDA...... ooops... the F word! , I would probably have called it a FLock 21, and if it were made by KIMBER then perhaps it would have been called a Klock..... ohh.... but I digress! ROFL.....) My G21 also gives the feel of a "push" rather than a "snap" recoil.
All in all, I do believe that its personal preference. I'm fine with 7 or 8 rounds, heck here in Connecticut I'm not ALLOWED more than 10. That's what extra mags are for. Even when 15 round mags were legal here, I still only carried 10 in a polymer gun. "Handguns are only to get me to my rifle" as some would say.
