You can make anything fail. When these two pistols are tested in real world environment the results are more real worldly.
Not really. First of all, I have probably shot as much ammo through a 1911 as anyone here, definitely in excess of 200,000 rounds. I have two much-modified 1911’s, an Ed Brown worked Series 70, and another no-name Colt. I like them.
That said, a box-stock Glock and a box-stock 1911 is no contest. The Glock wins. I also have a Glock 30 .45 ACP that I have carried for years, and have shot 30-5- rounds a week, with whatever ammo is cheap, as well as reloads. The total failures to feed, fire, or eject is 0. It has had nothing done but the lighter trigger connector.
It is pretty much like the AKM/AR15 contest, in rough conditions, the AKM will win. I’d still much rather shoot the more accurate, more ergonomic AR15. That said, the only two always-loaded firearms in my house are the Glock and the AKM.
If you test a Glock and a stock Colt in the real world, the Colt will still lose, and I love the 1911’s!
