Perhaps. If John Moses Browning had access to modern materials, he would have designed a Glock.
The Glock 17 is simply an updated John Moses Browning design.

The Glock 17 is simply an updated John Moses Browning design. Obviously you have never held, much less ever shot a 1911. There are absolutely zero similarities between the Glock and 1911 actions.
As for the Glock plastic frame concept and the use of a polygonal barrel in a pistol, it was developed in Germany by Heckler & Koch.

You couldn't hope to knock anyone unconscious by hitting them with a Glock, nor could you even entertain the notion of doing anything like this to one of your disposable Bic handguns:

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
