.40 does that. It's a "problem solver".
Big time. I can't shoot 45 fast like I can 40. And the good capacity is a big plus over 45, although I still offload a few rounds on the G22 mags. I tried a FN 45, but it was just too big for my hand, and I could never get a confident grip on faster draws from holster.
