late to the post..just thought here we go
Glock vs 1911..so i will end the argument fast
When Glock wins 2 world wars..maybe
What nonsense! By your standard both world wars were won by cigarettes by virtue of their inclusion with field rations.
1911 pistols haven't won ANY wars.
I love the 1911. I carried a 1911 in the service. Colt combat commander was my first carry weapon. I still own several 1911s.
That being said, in today’s world, I would never recommend a 1911 as someone’s first or only handgun. It really breaks my heart to say that but with all the options available today, and with modern ammo selection, a 1911 is luxury. It is something to own because you love the aesthetics, history or have a personal connection.
You love a 1911, you take care of a 1911, you list your 1911 in your will and ponder who is worthy of owning it.
A Glock or any number of other polymer weapons, are the new weapons of war. You beat on them, don’t worry if they get wet or dirty. why? It was ugly when you bought it, they won’t get uglier with use and if you break or lose it it won’t break your heart.
