1911 vs. Glock wars! Which one is better!

[Sunwolf]

Well you said KelTec is better.....

What is your point?

Nope,I never said Keltec was better.

THis is an interesting discussion, but to compare a BRAND name w/ completely different style of a product is like comparing a Mercedes SUV w/ a Toyota Prius. Each has it's advantages/disadvantages. Personally for general shooting & competition, I prefer a 1911 Para. Don't own a Glock, have shoot less than 100 rounds through a few different models. If I had to carry a CCW, it would be my S&W J frame.

Impressive pics/videos on the Glock tho.

I saw a Glock this weekend do this...(see pic)

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

If not, I'll do it.

I did, see page 4 post #35.

Apples to oranges man. Nothing will ever compare to a 1911 as far as a great manufactured pistol with gobs of history, and nothing will compare to a glock as far as drag through the mud reliability with the sake of some accuracy lost. Both absolutely fine weapons for their intentions. Both capable of being made into tack drivers and both utterly dependable depending on what you get.

Oh yeah you HEARD.....

I heard a lot of things too

1911 is a proven firearm with over one hundred years of history. Although, there are many variations on the market today the design is time tested to be a great weapon!

Glocks are made of polymer plastic and although light in weight they are not made nearly as well as a Kimber 1911! I currently have have a Warrior 2 and it is a phenomenal gun!

I would take it over a Glock any day! Just my personal opinion!

What say you all?

I'm not a Koolaid drinker and I would take the Glock over the 1911 in a heartbeat! Glock wins this contest!

Better for what?

I own a Kimber 1911 AND a Glock 19.

Apples vs oranges.

It's obvious you are a new gun owner as this debate is as old as when glocks were introduced.

I own 1911 since mid 70's and owned my first glock since 1988. I liked them both dearly, but if I can only own one to protect myself,loved ones, and property I will choose Glock without doubt or hesitation. Bar-none

I think it is safe to say if shtf most people hear pick a glock but that doesn't mean we don't like 1911s. 1911s is a different tool for a different job.

I think that a properly built 1911 is reliable enough for combat. Afterall, if your Glock KB's in a firefight, it won't be of much use to you.

Yup you got it.. properly built. A lot of 1911s require some minor tweaking out of the box. Some can't shoot hp either.

Glocks are ready to rock out of the box.

2 cents...Both great guns...depends who's shooting it. As mentioned before Apples and Oranges, A Model vs A Company. I have both and hard for me to choose what I want to shoot. Great conversations!!!!

Generally speaking, yes. But high end 1911's are ready to rock from the box as well, generally speaking. The difference is in cost.

Apples to oranges would be a gun vs knife. They are both semi-automatic combat pistols.
