The G-38 is my CCW.  My 20 yr old daughter also shoots and owns a G-38.  It is just about the smoothest firing Glock around and the recoil is a push rather than the snap of the 40S&W, 10mm or 357SIG.

$375 is a very great deal!  Buy it immediately.  Buy your ammo on-line if the local prices are too high.  Ignore the naysayers, the GAP rd is catching on slowly.  Those who shoot it, like me, love it a lot.  Check out G-38 reviews on Glocktalk.com in the gun-related clubs forum - The Bull Dawgs Forum.  Lots of GAP lovers there with Danny R leading the pack.

Run don't walk, you can't beat that deal. I paid 389.00 for a new G39 less night sights & that was a deal.
Also consider reloading, the GAP is a sweet  caliber.

You should at the very least buy it and resell it, that's a smoking deal.

The G-23 is #1 out of all handguns IMO and trust me I own 95% of them.....  BUT, the G-38 is a close second place... The GAP round is a great design. I hope it performs well in actual shootings.. We will see as it gets more widespread.

Big +1 (2nd only to the G19/G17).

The only downside I see with the G38 is ammo cost.  If that's not an issue, then the G38 is the best Glock made for all-around SD purposes, IMO.

I'm issued a G23 and it's a great duty pistol...I'm just not crazy about the .40 round.

RE: 45GAP terminal ballistics  
It will perform exactly as the .45acp in similar loadings.  
Exact same bullets, traveling at exact same speeds, will produce the exact same results.
