Sure you can own 30 round mags made before a certain year, but you can't go online and order a 10 pack of 30 round PMAGs and have them delivered to your house. |

Yeah. Lighter, more reliable, more corrosion resistant, multiple calibers on the same platform, easier operation, doesn't cost a fortune. All of these things make glock a better CCW choice than a 1911. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Am I the only guy that loves Glocks and 1911s? I carry both and shoot both. Couldn't imagine not owning a 1911, or owning a Glock I own a Glock. Don't get me wrong its okay. Kinda like banging the fat chick after a night of drinking, better than nothing, but theres better out there

Lately there have been several 1911 threads pop up. In this thread we will discuss why you settled on carrying/shooting a Glock instead of having something better. While Im sure it will be argued that a Glock is decently priced and goes bang when you want it to, lets look at a few other things in life that do what they are suppose to while also being conveniently priced and making life easy. Here are a few analogies You could have had this http://www.ausmotive.com/images/Ferrari-458-Italia-01.jpg Instead you settled with this http://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2010/04/22/21/33/1994_toyota_camry_4_dr_xle_v6_sedan-pic-4132254433501968372.jpeg While both get you from point A to point B reliably, one is arguably more fun to drive. While yes it could be argued that one has more upkeep costs and maintenance, atleast you will get laid. You could have had this http://singlesblogforyou.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/the_most_beautiful_women_according_98.jpg Instead you settled with this http://www.dumpaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wow.jpg While both will get the job done in the sack, isn't one more desirable than the other? Sure there may be more upkeep costs for the better choice, but isn't the end result worth it? Discuss why some gave up on life and settled with Glock.  I agree completely I prefer the Walther p99 as

I simply meant that although 1911's can be had in 9mm or 38 super, glocks are offered in everything from 380 to 10mm and they all retain their reliability and ease of use. The advantage of being able to run 9mm in a .40 glock with a drop in barrel is yet another point for glock. I'm going to dinner? Glock 19 Going camping and worried about Bears? Glock 20 Going to a formal event and need to be discrete? Glock 43 Targets? Glock 34 A glock for every use and my training is the same for all of them. You're not going to get equally excellent performance out of a colt mustang, coonan 357, various 1911s in 45 or whatever other obscure clamberings you can find a 1911 in. |

Spend $2k on a gun that will need several hundred rounds to break in and may still have to go back to the factory to be tuned vs. $500 and a gun you can use right out of the box. Here is the test. Bad guys are beating down the door, there is a whatever brand new 1911 loaded on the table right next to a brand new loaded Glock. The door is splintering, you can only choose one. Which one do you grab? A rifle or shotgun. Pistols are weak sauce and for CC. |
