Some people have to customize them (Glocks) to get the right feel. The 1911 is a really nice gun, but the price point was beyond me. The Glock was my first gun purchase, so I wasn’t likely to slip the purchase of a 1911 beyond the wife without a lot of controversy. Heck, buying the Glock caused enough controversy and I talked to her about buying it, plus I thought I had her o.k. beforehand.
Imagine if I had spent another 400-600 dollars (which is what it would’ve taken to get me into the territory of a 1911A1).
You would be sleeping on the couch I guess.
