You don't mention primary use so it's hard to vote one better than the other. That said, if I could only have one, it would be the 45. Yes it's SLIGHTLY bigger but has a longer barrel & sight radius. Weight is still near 10 oz lighter than a 1911. Recoil is more of a comfortable push vs harsher snap. Mag capacity is hype. Learn to shoot and you'll never need the 10 rounds, never mind 15.
Besides, the 45 acp has been THE standard for semi auto pistols for near 100 years.
