Glock vs. 1911

The reality is that 1911s are a design that shooters know and love, and modern engineering has made 1911s perfect for any application.

Okay people let's have your opinions.

If my choice is only between a 1911 and a Glock, it is the 1911 every time.

 

[hpclayto]

Well this always ends well.

Just like the vax, I choose the 1911, you choose whatever you want. I'm not going to tell you what to buy. I don't like nor shoot glocks well and I prefer my pistols to look nice. You may shoot a glock well and like lego bricks in your hand. Who am I to criticize as long as you own, carry and practice.

 

[Biggredchev]

I don’t discriminate. Id take a handful of both each in different calibers and sizes. In my experience they both go bang when i pull the trigger EVERY TIME.

 

[DadSmith]

This article is slightly slanted towards 1911's of course but it still has good points for both camps.

Why not both?

Why not both?

Exactly. As a gun collector I should get a few on hand of both even if they are on safe duty. You can always hand down firearms to your children and grandchildren.

Right. And give the 1911s to the ones you like best....lol
Just joking I'm sure you love them equally.

Glocks are pioneers of the polymer framed firearms

Or H&K with the VP70...

The "I don't know what to write about this week, but I've got a deadline coming up" articles:

1) Glock vs 1911
2) Is your J-frame enough?
3) Is (insert new pistol) the Glock Killer? (spoiler: no)

Recycle as necessary.

So just pointing out the article is by Armscor pimping RIA 1911's it's literally an advertisment designed to look like an article. Probably my favorite paragraph below , commentary inserted by me in red


"Glocks have a distinct grip angle that many find awkward and their triggers are often times called soft (the Glock trigger is a self portrait of Sponge Bob SquarePants soft and mushy) . 1911s have the most crisp, comfortable triggers out there. Plus, many argue that 1911s have a grip that feels more natural in the hand and that their front and rear sight have a more natural alignment. If you’re new to firearm shooting, the 1911 is an easy first choice. With Glocks, there’s only a little bit of plastic holding back an explosion (What in the hell is that the frame does not contain the explosion the barrel and slide do). 1911s definitely take the edge in terms of handling"

Or you could get the best of both worlds in each platform , also and this is just my personal opinion no one should ever buy a 1911 made outside of the United States that's just plain wrong , poor's can flame me all they want.

Well, I have never had to re-blue a Glock.

But then I will never own one either...

 

[Itchytriggerfinger]

I own a few 1911's because at some point I'm going to be old. For now, I'll carry a Glock. They've been reliable for me since the 90's.

I love 1911s and even I think that was written to sell guns to new gun owners. Now, there are good reasons supporting carry of a 1911 over a Glock, just as there are good reasons in support of carrying a Glock over a 1911. But, exploding grips are not among them.

Miyamoto Musashi suggests it is wrong to have a favorite weapon. Instead, you should strive to be competent with all weapons if I recall

 

[KellyinAvon]

Why not both?

I own both.

Back around 2004 or 2005 Springfield Armory had a high capacity 1911 in 45acp I was wanting to get. I saved up the money went to buy one and all out of stock and I waited for a long time then found out they stopped making them. I wonder if they were a good pistol to this day.

When I saw this article, I was concerned it was going to be some biased and partial piece of opinion.

I was very pleased to see it is completely unbiased, sticks to truth, and arrives at the only possible correct conclusion.

What's a glock?
