I've had both the 45 and 9mm version. The 9mm is a LOT more pleasant to shoot.
The 45 felt like a fire cracker going off in my hand every time I shot it.
As for Pros or Cons, they are good guns, no better or worse than the offerings from Glock, S&W, Sig, etc...Really just personal preference.
Great advise. Couple of years ago I went to the LGS to buy a Springfield but, after handling them all, I walked out with a S&W. I really wanted to like the Springfield, but the Smith just felt better in my hand.
