Glock 23 which I carry or the baby Glock 27. They are as ugly as they are functional meaning they just DO NOT jam. These old 1911 guys can have those heavy but nice looking pistols. The Glock was designed to do the job and the .40 S&W is far superior to the 9mm and equal in stopping power to the .45ACP with less recole. Takes a little getting used to but with all that free ammo who cares. Again the Glock can be counted on to work and thats what counts in a carry situation.

I too carry the Glock 23, but I'm looking for a used Glock 27
This soon after Michigan got "shall issue" they are harder to find than frog hair.
The only jam problems I ever had with the Glock was with
some weak hand loads which came with my sons Glock 22.
My son bought it used from a fool that didn't like it because it jammed.
I've put hundreds of factory and full power hand loads though my Glock 23 with no problems,
as has my son with his Glock 22.

I have to concur with the comments you've made. I confess a liking for the 1911. But in a down-and-dirty combat situation, there is no way I would favor it over the Glock, which is much more rugged.
