Why all of the 1911 hatred lately?

[billt]

Show your pet 1911's to your friends. Show your Glock to your enemies. Makes perfect sense to me. And I own twice as many 1911's, (12), as I do Glock's, (6).

Nice idea. My Glock to 1911 ratio is the same, but with smaller numbers. I'm at 4 Glocks and 8 1911s. I may buy a second G19 here shortly which means I'll need to buy two 1911s to keep things balanced.

Logical response. Thumbs up

Well, 1911 does add up to 12.

Motorcycles and guns... both should be black and metal. Just purchased a 1911 for EDC yesterday. Glocks and others have great ability without a doubt, but there's just something truly badass about a 1911 that the polymers can't duplicate.

Hater's gonna hate.
A custom 1911 is a creation requiring skill, patience, knowledge, and artistry. It almost feels sensuous in the hand. It has style, panache, and elan.
A Glock, by comparison, is a '58 DeSoto bumper. Stamped, molded, strong as a tank, and perfectly functional, but hardly the cutting edge of fashion.
Maybe they should let Pininfarina have a go at the Glock.

The 1911 has a soul. The Glock is just a tool. A good one, but in the end, it's just a tool.

I think the Remington R51 would be the result. A swoopy design that does not function all that well. Or, it could be a drop dead sexy looking pistol that runs forever. You never know with a Pininfarina. The oldest car in my garage was built by Pininfarina and at 45 years old, it still works beautifully. I just put another 70 miles on it yesterday winding around the Johnson County back roads and it is like Zen on 4 wheels.

So, who knows, they might be able to pull it off if they can keep the Ferrari mindset at bay.

As to round count....hit what you are shooting at and 8 will be enough. Hopefully.

How many rounds would you actually need with 10-15 assailants? How many good hits are you going to get with multiple moving targets?

Practice those reloads.

When you're shooting 45 you need only one round on target

Disclaimer: I do not hate 1911s. Just adding food for thought. The above applies to any single stack small round count hand gun. Not just 1911s.

1911 vs Glock

OK guys which one is which? Which one will vanquish your foe? Which one would you rather have standing beside you?

My money is on a samurai versus Conan. His skill and speed will beat the brute force.

If I'm facing 10 to 15 assailants that don't turn tail and run when the shooting starts, I'm screwed no matter what I'm carrying.

You'll just be more screwed with a 7 round 1911, than you will be with a 17 round Glock.

Unless your Jerry Miculek fast at reloading

Never mind.

Dead is dead. A 17 round Glock has never floated my boat, I don't own one and probably never will. Now, a 15 round Glock has been known to give me that warm fuzzy feeling that only 15+1 of 10mm goodness can deliver. If I ever were to live out the last scene of 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid', it would probably be with a G20sf in my hand and a pair of spare mags in my belt.

No, on second thought, if I'm facing 15 to one odds, I think I'd rather run that 10mm love through a Delta Elite.

On second thought you would go with the same caliber, but in a lesser capacity pistol???

Well yeah! I mean a Glock makes bad guys hurt and all, but a 1911 does it with style. Haven't you been reading all the 1911 threads on INGO?
