You can convince people that Glocks are better than 1911s without pretending the only ones on the market are top end custom jobs that cost more than a teenager's auto insurance premium.

Just to pass on my perspective....... I've had 5 different 1911s over the years, a Gold Cup National Match, a MkIV Series 70 Gov't Model, a Series 70 Combat Commander, a Norinco clone, and finally a Wilson Combat CQB. NONE of these (some with considerable tweaking) were ever reliable enough for defensive carry. The Wilson CQB comes close. I haven't been able to make it choke on factory ammo, but the tight chamber means that I REALLY have to take pains on making reloads for competition.

I've had a lot of different handguns over the years, and when it comes to protecting me and my family, there is only one that I'll trust. Glock.

I had many 1911 Jammament Models too, and the 9mm and 10mm were the only feed reliable ones. I have watched many a 1911 choke at matches when the other designs kept on ticking. S&W .45s seem to have a much better feed angle from the mag. The 3 of them that I had fed perfectly.
