I know it's been asked many many times, but here goes just for opinions and fun. When I first started, I carried a 1911 for two years. Then on a whim one day I bought a G17, fell in love with it and its been my CCW ever since. I've got that itch again, and I'm thinking about switching back to the 1911 because lets not deny it a good 1911 is a damn sexy and comforting gun. Should I stick with the G17, or buy a new Springfield MC operator to CCW

| I personally wouldn't go with the 1911 platform unless you train with it all the freaking time. I didn't train enough, and I always forgot to disengage the safety when I was at classes. If I had to use it in a defensive situation, I probably wouldn't be here today because of that. That's why I carry a Sig now. I shoot it better and there is no safety to worry about disengaging. I think you should stay with your Glock if you can shoot it well enough. Plus, it weighs less. MJD |
