Cheap Police tradein G22, then get a .357 SIG barrel, a 9mm barrel and some 9mm magazines. Three guns for the price of one and a half!
(You may have to replace the extractor and ejector to get the 9mm to work 100%, but plenty of people just drop in a 9mm barrel and it runs fine). |

Glock is a no brainer, especially if the alternative is an RIA 1911. THere are 1911's that run relaibly and are good to go out of the box. They usually cost over $3K and are chambered in .45 ACP.
Seriously, the G17 is so reliable its boring. The trigger is good. It is not as crisp as a SA trigger, but that is a small price to pay for an inexpensive pistol that runs like a raped ape. |

G17 might be a better range gun. G19 is good for carry. If you get a Gen 4 G19 it may replace your carry piece.

While 3k 1911's certainly exist they aren't required to enjoy a reliable weapon, no matter how much children say so. RIA makes great pistols , I've owned two and wouldn't flinch at anything in their lineup. Glocks are cheap, really no reason not to own one. I sold mine cause it just didn't do much for me that I didn't already have.

I would never consider a Glock for a range toy. Why would anyone? It's just a utilitarian tool. Nothing fun or aesthetically pleasing about it, it has a shitty trigger, and shitty sights. It's a good, but disposable, cop gun. Not a gun you buy for the shear joy of shooting or owning.

EAA makes nice pistols, as does CZ. Also consider Beretta, Sig, Taurus. I am not a fan of FN because it appears their customer service is primarily geared to military, and everyone else is third tier...not even second tier.

My $900 1911 runs like a raped ape . How is this possible ? Anything is possible, or maybe we have a different idea about reliability. The 1911 is a historically important design and a thing of beauty. JMB was a genius. The issue with it is that it is a design that was based on the assumption that parts would be machined and then hand fitted. It is the same deal as the Winchester Model 12. As labor costs have risen, hand-fitted 1911's are out of the reach of most people. Ed Brown and Nighthawk are nice examples. The lower end guns are made with MIM parts and are assembled without much in the way of fitting. The result is that they just are as reliable as they should be. There can be an occasional gun that works, but most sub-$1000 1911's I have seen have issues and require tinkering. I own two 1911's, and they both work pretty well after I fooled with them a bit, but I haven't carried one in years. I have numerous Glock and H&K pistols, none of which have ever required tinkering or even malfunctioned. Pistols are a personal thing. Carry what seems right to you. |

100% range toy? Get the 9mm 1911. Who cares about reliability if it's a toy? That would be a LOT more fun to shoot than a Glock.
Don't get me wrong--Glock is the no brainer if you'll ever carry it, but they're so reliable and simple that they're boring to shoot. |

I'd never consider a Glock as something to go spend quality time with at the range, and have fun.
1911 in 45acp. Too expensive to shoot a lot? Get an 22lr conversion kit and shoot inexpensively, then drop the 45 parts back in and shoot a few mags of 45. IMHO and YMMV |

G17
More mag capacity. Less finicky. Cheaper mags. Tougher finish. Cheaper. Lighter. Has a rail. Bigbore's torture test. Just because some here have a odd need to go against the grain, common wisdom says that the Glock is popular for a reason...... Oh, and would you rather gunsmith or would you rather shoot? |

I have medium hands, g17's stupid finger grooves don't fit me well. I can shoot them ok, but the G19 grooves seem to be spaced a bit differently, so it's more comfortable. I can shoot them ok too. The only "1911"s I have are Sig P238s, and I'm pretty much in love with them.
So, if you have big manly hands, get a 17. If you have small womanly hands like me, get a 19. Or get a basic Springfield 1911, that fits everyone, and has ridiculously good customer service, if you need it. |

As someone with a .45 1911, .38 super 1911, and a Glock 19, I'd go with a 9mm 1911 too for a fun range toy. Cheap ammo, still useful if you want to every carry it or use it for defense. You can look at a double stack 1911 too. |

9mm 1911 hold like 9 rounds in the mag. G19 holds 15 and the G17 holds 17. |
