4" or 5" tactical in 45 GAP?

[mknherhappy]

I'm going to buy a new 45 Gap, just unsure if I want the 4" or 5" Tactical. Any opinions?

Thanks

For cary I use my 4inch 45gap and for games I use my Tactical gap. Although if it were a house gun or I was not carrying it all of the time I would go for the longest barrel.

See which one feels best for you. For me, an extra 1" is no big deal for carry. I regularly carry a full size 1911. I kind of think that the 5" feels a little muzzle heavy. That should help tame the GAP rounds. I do think that the 4" balances a little better. Personally, they are cheap enough that I am getting them both. Unfortuneately, the stainless models will not be shipping until the end of the summer.

I have the 5 inch and like it, I shoot IDPA and mostly carry in my truck so size is not an issue.

I'd have to agree, I have a Glock 45 GAP (37) and with a polymer gun, you want some weight out front. However, if it is for carry - it sure beats carrying the same sized 4", or 5", 1911 or other metal 45 around all day!
