chuck-
I have shot both the glock 45 and I owned a P97DC model which is DA/SA not DAO like the glock and some of the P97's. I haven't shot the DAO P97 so don't know about it's trigger. I prefer DA/SA auto's myself. As far as accuracy I found the glock to be a little better, but it also had the option of adjustable sights where my P97 were fixed. I actually have a Shooting mag with the two DAO models of both these .45's doing a comparison. Basically they scored very similar in tests. The Glock did do a little better in acuracy and the testers seemed to like the trigger better, but both guns were well liked and found to be good on/off duty weapons. It's really just a matter of preference. I would say get the Ruger, you won't be disapointed. I like the price and the look of the rugers over the glock, but the glocks do have a ton of aftermarket stuff you could add that the Ruger really dosen't.
