Well, went ahead and bought the new 45. Academy and Bass Pro haven't had any in stock for a while and I found a local gun shop that had one left in stock for about $20 more, so why the hell not. The grip is just a hair wider than my 9mm version and the weight is about the same fully loaded. The 9mm holds 12+1 and the 45 is 10+1. Got me 50 rounds of hollow points and 100 rounds of range ammo. Ammo is getting really hard to find, the shelves at Bass Pro were picked clean! Looking forward to going to the range! The second pic below is comparing 9mm Luger to 45ACP, FMJ and JHP in both flavors. It's a big ass bullet!
