1911 vs. Glock

[crufflers]

Here is an article written comparing the G41 to a 1911. Not necesarrily going to solve the "dilemma" just like this thread isn't. Comparing guns to cars certainly won't hahah.

It'll come up again next month, but that's how we like it.

I'm not looking at 9mm because honestly I'm slower with the sharp recoil of the 9mm than with the soft push of the 45 ACP. Furthermore, I prefer big and heavy than light and fast.

So one poster calls out 9mm shooters, essentially calling them weak because they don't have the strength to actually hoist up and hold the 1911, because only the manliest of men are strong enough to do it.

Then this poster claims he can't handle the recoil of 9mm.

I encourage everyone to compete in organized shooting matches. They are all over the place.

Shoot enough and your firearm selection will be a combination of your preferred venue, division, capability and personal budget. It will not be a influenced by an internet forum of people who don't actually shoot proficiently.

How else can this come out? OP wants to know which platform will make him faster and more accurate.

So, I'm wondering if anyone can chime in with their experience as far as a faster rate of fire and accuracy? The trigger on a 1911 feels better than the Glock trigger, but I couldn't see if it actually translates into faster, more accurate shooting or not really?

BIG AND SLOW / light and fast.

What about Munden?

So the truth comes out. The reason why all the "get off my lawn" 1911 crowd constantly trashes 9mm is because they can't handle the recoil.

So you are here with popcorn like the rest of us, except you are proficient.

I love the chaos of a good ford vs chevy rehash - even the ad hominem attacks and Corvette ads are better than Facebook. First world problems.

Yep, we should all be out shooting instead.

Yeah, welcome to Calguns...

Yea, basically.

I try and get to every competition my schedule allows. I work on my own guns, and reload my own ammo. I also support my wife's competitive shooting by maintaining her equipment as well (but she's mostly long gun stuff, so I reload 308 for her).

Anyway............ by far........... the most influential input to shooting competence of any firearm is focused and disciplined practice.

I'm a big fish in a small pond. I know it. Barely a Class B shooter.

I jump at the chance to taunt/troll folks to get out to competitive matches any chance I get. This is one such chance.

My singular focused shooting goal is to get better and better with my Open Gun.

I use to be a diehard 45ACP 1911 guy. Now not so much. It comes and goes.

What do you shoot now the most?

For their own safety, I hope these folks never have to experience 12g slugs. They might disintegrate.

Funny.

Here's my $.02, when the timer goes "Beep!", I couldn't tell you how the trigger felt or how the recoil felt. Hell, most stages I couldn't tell you why I didn't shoot at that one target I walked by, or why I shot the white "No Shoot" target standing all by itself. But I had fun. So there's that.

All one has to do is research Larry Vickers video on the multiple points that one has to pay attention to when using the 1911 platform, and then compare that to the maintenance one has to do when using a Glock pistol.

The Glock overall the Glock can run more reliable, weighs less, holds more rounds, and if you cannot hit minute of man at 25 yards, it's not a better trigger you need, is more practice.

I don't hate tnt 1911 platform - I was raised in the steel and wood era, and own a colt ace all thru the Gold cup model, but that Glock ( overall ) runs better than the 1911, it is what it is.
