SGraves155Ammo choice for 4" vs. 5" 45acp
Am getting a Taurus PT945SS with a 4" barrel for CCW. My 1911 colt GC w/5" barrel shoots everything, including +P loads, well. Any recommendations for do's or don't's on ammo for the Taurus?

This is true. Reliability is #1. You can expect about 30fps drop from the 5", not enough to matter.

Allan DeGrootand a slight ammount more muzzle flash.
not that the 45ACP is known for a big flash...
Not like a 10mm anyway
