    Any Glock Owner's ?

    It sounds like a big gun but is'nt it'l shoot 410 shotgun or 45 long colt or 45 acp. It's good to have your back up the same bullet as the carry! that'l give you three options in case!

    Any Glock Owner's ?

    If 12 bad guys are on you and you only have 11 bullets then you gotta ask two of 'em to line up for your double shot! I saw a new smith and wesson 45 long revolver stainless and it also ahoots 45 acp, that would be a decent backup for a .45 carry gun. Get a .45 and get her done!
