FWIW - I got a really good deal on the gen 3 version of the Glock 37 thru Bud's as they were moving to the next generation - it shoots the Glock Auto Pistol 45 (45 GAP) round. A slightly shorter case than the 45 ACP = a little smaller grip. Better fit for a lot of folks. Good accuracy, recoil is sharp, but no biggie to me. About the only drawback is that not every Wal-Mart will have the 45 GAP ammo. I just buy my ammo online, and am working up enough empty cases to get one of my reloading buddies to run up reloads. The ammo is a little higher than 'cheap' 45 ACP, but frankly, when you put .45 holes in bad guys, the lead just costs mo' money than your 9mm. End of story.

Anyway, if you're looking to put a "spendy as the next fellow .45 caliber hole" in the bad guy AND you find a good price on the pistols (37 = 'full size', 38 = like a G19 mid size, 39 = tiny) I'd give 'em a thumbs up for performance, carry. Not so much on the ease of resupply. When these first came out, a lot of other gun makers put out a 45 GAP pistol but that seems to have dropped off. Like a lot of other good ideas in the gun world, it still has to be 'sexy' to sell. Practical won't always do. * (price for the 37 now matches everything else, so no longer a great bargain)

Also - these folks carry a very nice-for-the-price Glock retention paddle holster made in Israel, about $17 from these guys - under another label, same holster will be more. On page 115.
