My RIA Tactical gets really dirty sometimes. I blew out a bunch of softball reloads last night... powder residue everywhere. Still ran fine. Of course, there is just a little rattle with it, which can be a good thing in a fighting gun.
Of course, my Glock 21 (while I owned it) was also a flawlessly functioning piece of work. Both are guns, both are good guns. I prefer one over the other, and your tastes may vary (hey, it's OK guys!).
The main point? Both in .45acp. If I simply MUST stake my life on a cartridge, all other things aside, the .45 makes the bigger wound channel. Shot placement is obviously THE most important factor, but solid shot placement, and a larger projectile tends to stack the odds in my favor. I am actually more accurate with the .45 than I am with smaller calibers for some odd reason.
Long story short: Long live the .45!
