Another one bailing from the Glock bandwagon

[LPMan59]

I was out at WW this morning for some early morning shooting- the first time I've been in quite a while. It was as if I couldn't remember how to shoot my Glock 17 or my M&P 45. It was a sad affair.

I put them away and put a mag in my 1911. And shazam! i had my mojo back. I have always loved the 1911, but I preferred to carry a Glock because of capacity and the lack of manual safety (one less thing to worry about yada yada).

But I suppose that if one should carry what he shoots best, then a 1911 is the carry piece for me. Time to start retraining the muscles......

glock are for throwing a gun in the trunk of my atv, if it get scratches no big deal, cause it's not collector piece, it's just a tool & nothing more

Glock and M&P's are for rugged manly men.

1911's are for sissies who are afraid of getting their nails chipped.

 

[Birds Away]

Heh, heh......don't mind me, waiting for Jetgirl....heh, heh......

LOL!!

Naw, I'm just jealous because I want a 1911. The only one I've ever shot was one that was used in WWII.

Wait, weren't you complaining a few months ago that 1911's were too expensive and you couldn't justify a pistol that cost more than $600?

 

[lovemachine]

Nah, I can justify it. I just cant afford it!

Glock bandwagon

Glocks and other plastic/polymer guns are some pretty amazing achievements in materials for handguns. Polymer technology is relatively new in guns hence perhaps more "trendy". I don't think they are going away anytime soon.
That being said who wouldn't want a quality built 1911.
There is a reason they have been around as many years as they have. Rock solid.

I own a Glock 27 and Colt 1911 and yes, the Glock is more of a "tool", IMHO. A good tool but not a 1911....

 

[Jeremiah]

I love glock, kind of indifferent to the 1911 even though I own three right now.

If my dan wesson and springfeild ever sell I will just own the series one kimber, and possibly a delta elite in the furutre.

 

[JetGirl]

I must admit that Glocks are great to shoot. They make EXCELLENT targets!

 

[gglass]

Now that choice can only be described as "Perfection".

 

[JJT*90]

I think you may have just hit the nail on the head. You have to carry what you are comfortable with, and can shoot. If you can't reliably put rounds on target, you're carrying a liability, not a tool. I guess that's just how I see it though.

"If you can't reliably put rounds on target, you're carrying a liability, not a tool."

Now that's repworthy right there!

Like my Glock 26, tried 30 didn't care for it. Really like my Springfield & Sig Trad Compact 1911s, but Love my HKs (HK45C, P30 in 9mm & 40). Want to try out new 3.8 XDM in 45 acp

 

[RBrianHarless]

At least you are still shooting and got your mojo back. Glock/1911, whatever helps a person out with their "trigger therapy" at the range. All is good.

Yeah, like all those wussy military guys who won WWII.
