Your options in a .45acp with Glock are rather limited compared to their other calibers. The are three .45acp variations including the full-sized G21, the subcompact G30, and the subcompact 'Slimline' G36.
I love my G21...
It is a rather large pistol, but it shoots like a dream at the range and even though it's a full sized pistol it can be easily concealed in an IWB holster.

Not a fan of the Gen 4s myself, but it's the rough textured frame that I don't like.

Got another daughter? I need a .45! I'll send my son's picture for a picture of the gun!

There is now and from what I've seen on the Glock forums, top notch.
GLOCK 21 Gen 4-www.glockmeister.com
I had a Gen 2 Glock 21 for 18 years and it was perfect for 18 years. My old neighbor in Coronado was a member of SEAL Team 5 and used it during some field ops as well. He would bring it back dirty, nasty, with over 1000 rounds put through it in a day. Never skipped a beat. I probably should never have gotten rid of it.
BTW, my neighbor is still with Team 5 and his "unofficial" carry is a G30. Used in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Glocks are fine weapons, if they weren't i would not have purchases one for my wife on our anniversary. I would go for the middle ground I personally am not a big fan of the way they feel in my hand. My wife's does shoot very nicely though G26. The shop had A G30 SF last week, nice mid size weapon.

There you go; learn something new every day...
I got a Glock 30SF on a trade last weekend and was able to take it to the range today. Wow, that thing is great. I was shooting it along with an FNP-9 and I didn't even notice a difference in recoil. Accuracy was awesome. The Glock 21 is probably a great gun, but is a bit on the larger side. I'd also consider the SF if you don't have really large hands, I know the SF still feels a bit chunky, but not uncomfortable. Anyway, for the size and weight, the 30 carries 10 rounds and appears to be a really nice gun overall.

Double dittos! Had two until I recently gave one of them to my oldest son for a house gun.

I shot one of the older G21s and since my hands are not huge, it was not a good fit for me. Although the pistol was totally reliable and accurate.
I have borrowed a friend's Glock 30 many times and was amazed at how low the recoil was for such a small 45. It too was totally reliable and a very easy gun to shoot well. Typical Glock.
I'd say that a G21 or G30 would fit the bill. Hard to go wrong with any Glock 45, if you ask me.
