The G41 has a much slimmer slide profile than the G20/21/40

Why and what way does the 41 have a slimmer profile than the 21?

Is the 21 stronger in some way than the 41, and if so, are there differences in the top end Buffalo Bore type .45ACP ammo that they can handle?

The 21 would make for a better platform to convert to 10mm than would the 41. You could probably convert a 41 to 10mm, but I would be wary of doing that on account of the 41's lighter slide.

If staying with .45ACP, do you think there may be a difference in the hottest loads they can handle, 41 vs 21?

I use my G41 daily as my duty gun. I literally bet my life on it.

Is that tall front sight co-witnessed? Ever shoot it set up like that, with the dot somehow turned off, but using that front sight? How well does that work.

I don't have experience with reflex sights, but have hunted with red dots. One problem with a red dot is the image of the animal is not always very clear. Dim light, image less clear than if with irons. And glare on lens also affects image. However the aiming dot is clear and easier than irons.

So, in various defensive scenarios of difficult light situations, any issues picking up the target through the reflex?

As far as 45 loads go, even including +p's, I doubt you would see an appreciable difference in wear between the 21 and 41. I've owned both. When shot back to back I think the 41 is just a tad snappier. If you plan to feed it a steady diet of +p's, the 21 would make for somewhat more comfortable shooting. I seriously doubt you would wear the 41 out, though.

Honestly, you can't go wrong either way. Hope that helps.

Good to know.

I'm just in the planning stages of the next gun, and a Glock .45ACP is high on the list. One duty would be hunting loads
