what about an HK45 sk... ?

[GPD45]

so how does the Gl*** 30 work? (size wise)

That said, I prefer the .40 S&W.

well you have def done more research on the subject than I. and im certain you shot more rounds of each than I.

i should probably shoot more 9mm and do some research myself to be honest.

im also a fan of .40s&w

If HK did make a true compact .45 like the SK models it would probably be only 5+1 capacity plus cost a lot. I love the .45 but rather have 11 rounds of 9mm instead of 6 rounds of .45.

That photo is misleading. The HK45C is quite a bit less thick (especially in the grip area), and if you use a magazine with a flat floor plate it is quite bit less "tall" as well.

FWIW, I have a G21SF, HK45C, and USPc .45. I conceal carry the latter two quite often, with ease. I haven't even shot the Glock yet, as I can barely reach the trigger due to that 2X4 grip.

As far as I'm concerned, the G21 isn't even in the same league as the two HKs. And they carry nine rounds of .45.
