    1911s are better because they cost more than a Glock and you can spend thousands customizing and tuning them to shoot as reliably as a Glock.

    Who wants a handgun you can't tinker with?

      Bottom line her fellas is that each gun has it's own advantages and disadvantages in tactical situations. Since it is all of our hopes (I hope)! to never have to use any firearm in self-defense.

      The conversation should really be about which gun is better for sporting use, which we all do (Hopefully)! I prefer the 1911 because of how it feels when I shoot it!

      We may differ as to our reasons, however, in a self-defense situation either or any gun of enough caliber will do the job. Let's hope we never have to find out!

        Then why start the thread about which one is better?

            The 1911 has an ergonomically superior grip.

              You can buy grips for any handgun. Depending on your hand size some are better then others.

                      I was a fervent Glock hater until I fired one.

                      I own several high end 1911 types, but my house gun and my carry guns are all Glocks, except for a J frame Smith back-up.
                      The way some gunshop clerks spout off, you'd think that they invented gunpowder and the repeating rifle, and sat on the Supreme Court as well.

                          The best firearm is what ever you have in your hand when you need it.

                          Glock's innovation was the introduction of steel guides into a polymer frame and the reduction in the number of parts in the firearm. The striker was from an old Steyr pistol, the grip angle duplicated the P08 and the lockup was from Sig. The innovation was putting it all together. If you study or collect firearms, your effort is incomplete without a Glock in your collection.

                          I love my 1911s very much, IMO there is no better trigger system than the 1911s. My stock Colt will not feed hollow points, but shoots hardball through one hole. My Kimbers have jammed on an SXT round, thus I like using Golden Sabers who have never given me a problem. I run Wilson mags in all of my 1911s.

                          My Glock 21s have never ever misfed any round I have fed them. They are easy to disassemble and clean (both field and full stripping). LEO mags have 13 rounds vs. 10 for CA. The trigger system does require getting used to, but with time you can shoot them accurately. They have worked for me every time. That can not be said about the old Colt 1911s.

                            Has anyone shown up yet to choose and defend the 1911?

                            If not, I'll do it.
