Glock 30.
I am a long time fan of the 1911, but when I was looking for a compact carry 45, I couldn't ignore the great reports on the G30. I found one used, like new for sale near me and decided to give it a try.
I found I shoot it as well as a full sized 1911. Dead reliable with every load I have tried, and I like tzhe 10rd mag with a G21 13rd mag for a reload.
