BTW I own a Glock 30 and speak from experience. Before I bought it I shot many different pistols of varying caliber. I settled on the Glock 30 due to its compact size and stopping power.
I think I don't want a short grip gun because I have big old monkey hands. That's why I am looking at the Glock 21c

Regardless of which, I find that how it feels and shoots in your hands is most important. I would see if you can hold each one...and if possible find a range that will rent out those guns and shoot them. I've shot a few pistols and each of them feel very different. Although, I havent shot any of the ones you posted. The closest would be a Glock 17.
I mostly looking for hand gun for target shooting, but I also like a pistol that could take down a rageing schizophrenic crack head if I needed to in self defense of course.

Ya the 1991 is just a newer version of the ww2's 1911 45acp. I like them both to.
