1911 or Glock?

Browning HiPower FTW

I own both and would do the same all over!

OP has good taste.

But in all honesty, hi point is the way to go.

1911 and don't look back. Some people will buy a glock and spend ridiculous amounts to say the trigger is like a 1911. Why not just get a 1911 and save the money and headache, I dont get it...

25,000 rounds on your Springfield Pro Nice....

And while that Glock is very well done... I'd choose the Springfield Pro.

Now I know the rest of the Story...

Appreciate the link for the ones available in Turlock.

Jimmy is right you know. These aren't subjective facts, they are fact facts. Besides, you're drunk. Lol

How's it going old buddy?

Well there you have it. Fact facts always win!!

Going well, just trying to rationalize why I should put a Professional on my credit card haha!

Am I the only one that noticed that the OP's displayed examples of the Glock and 1911 are $2000+ incarnations of each example.

That Glock is not just a Glock, and that 1911 is not just a 1911.

i noticed too snoopy. i agree That glock is not just any other glock and neither is that 1911. i love my glocks but theyre bone stock and right now thats how i like em. im sorry but im not really a fan of That glock. i think its too much imho. that pro though. . . man that is sweet!

My Les Baer Custom Carry 45 has been to a gunsmith twice to fix reliability issues.



The magazine release was positioned just a little high so the pistol would only work with some of my magazines. That was fixed by taking material off of the front strap.



Then the thumb safety needed to be adjusted because it would engage with the slightest bit of upward movement.



It's been accurate and reliable since then but my Glocks have been 99% reliable and I'm no less accurate with a Glock at fighting distances.

I am sorry to hear that. My LB is malfunction free so far. Perhaps, I didn't shoot it much. Since I have decided to keep it, I am going to burn a full 50 Cal can of .45 ammo I have with it

I have heard that Les Baer's customer service is not so friendly. Hope your experience with them turned out smooth.

Ps. My Glocks are 100% reliable.

Do you want something that works sometimes (1911) or something that works all the time (Glock)?

I don't know what kind of 1911's you shoot or where this myth comes from unless you're going to have to fight in Falluja for a week without cleaning it.

That Glock is not just a Glock, and that 1911 is not just a 1911.

That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the first post. Then after I read the rest of the comments, I felt bad for the OP because all he wanted to do was to show off his beautiful counter top, but all anyone wanted to talk about was Glock vs. 1911...

Never been a fan for Glocks that have an identity crises... It has a red dot so it is for racing, oh but wait it has a tactical light so it is for defense... Yes I realize all the Operators have ARs just like that, but I prefer and own Glocks as designed: simple to operate and if maintained, 100% reliable. Most 1911s may take a little more work to get to that point, but can be just as reliable. The Glock the OP posted now has a higher chance of malfunction after all the mods were done, IMO.

Honestly I am the biggest Glock fanatic that you will ever find. I heard them and I absolutely think that they are the best firearm ever built.

However the one in the picture is grossly over modified and to me seems really over the top. I do prefer the simplicity and classic lines of that 1911.

I'm ready for you all to blow me up.

Blow you up?! My eyes exploded when I read this. Lol!
