Welcome aboard John, I see you have met one of our resident village idiots. The good news is there are only three more to figure out...

Look at how many Glocks you see for sale (or even for resale) in the classifieds over here... Now look how many 1911s... Coincidence? I think not

that's right, all the 1911s blow up, the glocks on the other hand are sturdy and hold up to abuse, thus, they're able to be resold lol.

Oh, I've thought of it, but I don't think even I could lie that much and to that many people lol.

A Glock is a piece of machinery without a soul. A 1911 is beauty, grace, and elegance in a pistol. It has a soul.
That said, a Glock is more reliable than some 1911s. Some 1911s are just as reliable as a Glock.
Pinnacle says that he will never buy another 1911 of lesser quality than a Nighthawk. I can see his logic. I'd also have to say that a mil-spec 1911 is just as reliable as a Nighthawk (yes, without the features, accuracy, and purdyness).
For a range gun, I'd take a 1911 over a Glock any day. For self-defense, I'd take one of my 1911s over a Glock any day.

I'm with you. Glocks point about a foot high for me. I don't care how reliable a gun is if I can't shoot it.

Another board I frequent has a thread about 140 pages long on Winchester vs. Marlin.
I sense a nascent thread of epic proportions beginning here.

The difference is that it makes only a difference to the operator, nothing more nothing less. To me a lot of entry level 1911 platforms are problematic. And, while I could buy a slew of G17's or G20's for the price of NH Talon. And, I could buy bunch of ammo, too. Nonetheless, it is what it is a personal choice. There are two guns of the self loader variety that I have ultimate confidence in HK USPf in 45ACP and G17 in 9mm. Having shot piss pot of rounds thru various 1911's in the past, and I will qualify this that some inroads have been made in the out of the box reliability of 1911's.
Many people do not have a good mastery of the manual of arms of a 1911, and that concerns me.

I won't carry any handgun with a manual safety.
It turns out that what you have is less important than what you do with it.
