The kids like Glocks because they’re cheap and light. Picking up a 1911 would burst a gut for them.
My armorer is an IDPA shooter. He only had one gun, a Glock he tricked out for competition like no other Glock. He was top of the line in B division. One day he decided to switch to a doubles stack 1911 race gun and immediately jumped to mid A division....
Some of old guys are learning to appreciate a lighter carry weapon.
The 1911 says, "Hey you ugly foreigner, want to have a drinking contest?"
The Glock replies, "You old idiot, you won't last more than 8 rounds."
How about us geezers that own both in .45?
Really? I’ve shot both, and like them for different reasons. You might ask, how could anyone who has shot John Moses Browning’s Holy Relic like a plastic thing like a Glock? They’re different. I shoot my Glock well, it has a higher capacity, and it’s easy to carry.
