I've been kicking around the idea of getting a .45 ACP handgun of some sort. I can get ammo for it for less than the cost of most 9mm locally BUT the cheap stuff is lead semi-wadcutters. Would these present the same reliability issue in a .45 as hollowpoints sometimes do?

If so, what would handle this kind of bullet profile well? Obviously a revolver would have no problem. I know there are .45 ACP cylinders for Ruger Blackhawks but I already have one in .357 so I would rather get something different such as a model 1917. Would a Glock 21/41 function more reliably with this ammo than other semi's or am I just making wild unfounded assumptions?
