I switched from .40 to .45 years ago after shooting TAM's 1911 one day at BassPro. I was surprised at the recoil and happy to get away from the .40.

I carried a G30SF for a few years after making the switch, while keeping the G21SF on the nightstand. Then after a couple night matches experienced how much better I shoot in the dark with a weapon mounted light versus a handheld flashlight. Then began the search for a holster and finding the new 7TS holsters from Safariland. They still don't make one for the G30 or 30SF with or without a light, but they do have one for the 21SF and TLR1, so I got one. Now, that is what I carry most of the time and two spare mags on the other side, but I've carried two spares ever since getting my CHL about 13 years ago,, so that means I've got 40 rounds of .45ACP with me ready to go.
