Know Glocks are great weapons, but I just never could shoot them well.

Same here. They don't fit my hand properly. However, the first time my daughter fired one, she fell in love with them. I got her for for the Christmas right after that.

As for me, I had to fire a 1911 annually while I was in the Air Force (back before they switched to the .38), and it feels like I was born holding one. Points naturally and I shoot it well.

My feelings on the 1911 exactly. Had my first one 16. No one cared, because everyone else did too. It was so loose and beaten up that when you shook it, it would rattle, even with a full magazine pushing up against the slide!

In RVN, even took mine into the shower hooch in base camp.

Look at a Sig 938 if you get a chance. It’s like a half size 1911. and it just “feels right!”

Be well.
