my buddy has a springfield .45 that i've shot. i like that gun alot. is that the .45acp?
It sure is! I love the Springfield myself.

As for the second question.

so why isn't the .45 as popular as the .40cal for home protection?
The downside is.
1. Clip capasity, wich isnt that huge of a issue. Its just a nice thing to have.

2. recoil. I know the recoil from a .45acp isnt that bad. But W.T.S.H.T.F. having a quick, and accurate second shot is an issue.

The upside

the idea of hurling a big, heavy chunk of lead at someone who is trying to do me harm
Enough said!

The more I talk to L.E.O.s, combat soldiers who have been in shootouts. The more I belive the best weppon is your focus, and drive to do what needs to be done. Everything else is just acidemic and theoretical.
