The definitive Glock or 1911 answer

[xd ED]

For all you Corps guys...THESE are real guns!

I am reminded of a question I had when I first saw this photo:
The wake suggests the ship is not moving forward, but rather laterally to the left (port/ port side?). Is that in fact what is happening? Is it a reaction the the guns' recoil?

And what would happen to someone on deck when they're firing?

yes, yes, yes,...........loss of hearing

wouldn't choosing the one you shoot best with be the answer?

In proper hands, the Glock serves just as well as the 1911 - at conversational distances. And such distances are the rule in defensive combat. The Guru

Thus endeth the lesson

So he is saying the glock is better? There I was all excited that someone figured this one out.

AND since it came from Gunsite / Cooper, who's to argue the point. Both are great, both do the job, one looks better doing it.

Oh come on now, there is no need to piss off the 1911 guys by calling their guns ugly...

[MissouriDave]

You caught that correctly sir.

I'll take a quality 1911 over a Glock anyday ! If its a good quality 1911 you won't be doing any tinkering, the design is second to none !
For carry a full size 1911 is more comfortable and more concealable than a Glock because they are nice and narrow. Glocks just seem too blocky to for carry and I don't carry IWB. My 1911 hugs my side so nice, where my Glock would be buldeging out all over. If I want to carry a striker fired gun I'd rather carry my XDM 40 3.8 .
