Does a Ballester Molina count as a 1911?
If not, then I also do not have either! |

A 1911 in 9mm is an abomination and a crime against humanity. You should be ashamed of yourself. No, a 9mm 1911 is accepting a truth. A 1911 is a range toy IMHO. Cheaper is better for range toys. 9mm is cheaper. For defensive use, more capacity than the 1911 is capable of is attractive. Not having a lot of $ tied up in the pistol is also a desirable trait. Being lighter is good. I like 1911s for their history, their look.....they are a classic, beautiful design.......but they are outclassed for social use in the common age. Father John Moses doesn't like you. Not all are worthy of the prophets blessing. |

I prefer my VP9 to my Glocks, but 1911's are sweet shooters too.

If you're going to get a Glock for a range toy get a Glock 40 MOS. 10mm longslide FTW! People at the range will look on at your hand cannon in awe. Two and four legged predators alike will cower at the first sight of its 6" slide.

There is merit to this. I don't have one yet, but it is on my list. I do have a 20 Gen 4, and it is excellent. |

I have a bunch of Glocks. Recently I picked up a couple of 1911s. These were my first and only 1911s. One RIA .45 and a double stack RIA 9mm/22tcm. I still prefer the Glocks but don't have any issues with the 1911s. They both run good with no issues.

There was a time when I couldn't afford a decent 1911, and I didn't want any Glock.
That has since changed, and I passed over MANY great deals to make my TRP Operator my first 1911. And since Glock is the easiest gun in the world to make a suppressor host, I finally succumbed to the necessity of having a few in the safe. 
Gone but not forgotten. 
Please note I am not recommending any of them to you to purchase. Just choose wisely when you do. |

If you going to go with the RIA flavor 9mm - shop for the Citadel offshoot that RIA puts out. They are shown more detail and love at the factory. Mine is a very well put together pistol. On my unit the fit is on par with with my SA Loaded. I lucked out!

I would take a G17 over a 9mm RIA. 1911s should only be in three calibers: 45, 38 Super, and 10mm.

If you are getting purely a range toy. Get the Glock 34 and mod it some for fun. Can get a better trigger, ported barrel and other fun stuff. It'll be same size as a full size 1911. I love shooting my 34.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My $900 1911 runs like a raped ape . How is this possible ? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: 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. My $900 1911 runs like a raped ape . How is this possible ? I know right. I have just under $2200 into 3 1911's. Not one has ever malfunctioned. What am I doing wrong? |

I hate Glocks.
I hate all the fanboi-ism. That said, having seen a lot of Glocks and 1911's at USPSA and IDPA matches, I would say get a Glock 17 or 34. The Glock will run just fine as long as they have not been subjected to some fiddle-fucking or kitchen table dremel jockey-ing. |
