My Glock 21 takes 13 round magazines and most folks would say that the grip on this gun resembles a 2x4 but with my big hands it works just fine for me.

The .45 GAP was & really still is the answer to making the .45 ACP case more compact, considering the improvements in powder technology, the case holding the 45 caliber bullet can be significantly shorter, and a Glock 38 having a Glock 19 form factor with an 8 round magazine is a viable option for a CCW. The round was designed by CCI Speer, and you can get factory Gold Dots in this caliber. Although these ain’t cheap & can be somewhat hard to find, these sure do work for the intended purpose of a CCW.
