You can make anything fail. When these two pistols are tested in real world environment the results are more real worldly.
The Glock performed flawlessly, the 1911, as expected, failed miserably
Thats where I ended reading
These articles are pointless. Oh wait... Remind me to bury my pistols with actions open before I jump off a 93 story building.
So when buried alive, make sure you have a Glock. Got it.
And the Army did not choose the 1911 for its new pistol. Glock? nope.
Must have been the answer to writers block to come up with an article in the Shooters Journal.
There is no place in the modern world for firearms discrimination, diversity is strength!
Repeat at least ten times, with at least three samples of each firearm, then call us again...
As a professional researcher, I love it how the “one trial wonders prove everything beyond doubt”.
That said, I have Glocks and 1911s. I prefer the Glock for daily carry about the farm and shop and river and lake and... but if I were knowingly going to a gun fight and could only chose a handgun ( of course, if given any choice, it would be a B2 delivered JDAM applied from the next mountain top over), it would be the 1911.
Well the one thing about this video that stands out.....black guns matter!
I’ll be the first to say that 1911 reliability is shit compared to the Glock 19. But one test, with one magazine isn’t the way to prove it.
A 1911 tuned for accuracy does not tolerate dirt, everyone already knew that.
You can jam any gun, including revolvers, with dirt in the right spot. That is why I don’t bury my guns. That, and because I cannot think of ANY reason to do so...
“For anyone who wants to know EXACTLY what happened to the 1911…
...and there was a pebble jammed under the leaf spring.”
So, the 1911 was buried under dirt AND a pebble.
