Have not, but I handled one in the gun store and it feels just like a G22 to me.

Sounds like a good idea and the ballistics are comparable and in some tests-better. This is the type of thread I like, all about gaining from the experiences of others. Other folks around here would say, "Go buy one and find out!" , "Go rent one and make up your own mind!" Keep up the homework and good luck!

Have you tried a Glock 30 or Glock 36? Or did you want a full sized gun? I have the same problem you have - the grip on the G20/21 does not fit my hand.

No I have'nt tried the 30 or 36, I was leaning toward the fullsize pistol to carry on duty. I wish there was someplace to rent guns close to where I live, hell I have'nt even heard of a place like that around! Tulsa show is this weekend maybe there will be some there that I can handle, hopefully.

Same frame. Has a bigger slide though., Holsters might be a pain to find. |

I have shot one several times and I found them to have a bit of a snappy recoil much like the .40 instead of a "push" like the .45ACP. The whole idea behind creating the G37 was to provide law enforcement agencies a gun in the .45 caliber that would not only be comfortable for those with smaller hands but would also fit in the same duty holsters as the 9mm and the .40. Unfortunatly the .45 GAP round was too much for the slide when manufactured with the same dimensions as the 9mm and .40. The engineers had to beef up the slide to add strength and mass (to slow down the slide velocity).

K9Reserve, is your overall impression positive? I think I know what your talking about with the snappy recoil comment, the Glock in .357 Sig and .40 S&W feel that way to me. Not an aversive feel, just "snappy".

So far the professional opinions have been positive for the .45 GAP. I heard that Rob Leatham really liked it, and Springfield Arms is coming out with an XD in the GAP so i think that says a lot. I also read in this months Handgunner that ballistically its equal to the if not better than the ACP. I know i like my model 21 but i like the idea for people with smalle rhands being able to grip a top notch handgun and caliber.

+1 We sold one of the 37's to a regular who let me fire it. Seemed more accurate than the .40 glock, but I'd still stick to the .45 acp. |
