Youll never shoot another Glock.
I've shot many Glocks over the last 15 years and I cannot get used to the odd grip angle, plastic sights, and the fact that there is no external safety. Carrying a hot Glock is akin to carrying a hot 1911 with the safety off.
That being said, I'm a fan of Sig Sauer, Heckler & Koch and 1911s (a few are in my FR profile page).

Not even remotely comparable, mechanically.
Look, I’m all for Glocks, and I’m all for 1911s. Misinformation, however, I am against.
I strongly disagree! It's much more akin to carrying a double action revolver, which also doesn't have a manual safety.

Not the same at all, but the Glock does require a good holster that completely covers the trigger guard. It's more like carrying a double action revolver, except the Glock has a lot better trigger. The Springfield XD is very similar to the Glock, but has a grip safety as well, which could be a plus or not, depending upon how you look at it. Treat all guns with respect and you shouldn't have a problem.
