Glock vs 1911... or anything

All your need to know here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yr_cM8kvig

IMO - the redeeming characteristics about both:

1911 - Trigger pull, You feel like a man carrying one

GLOCK - Trigger reset, you feel like a professional carrying one

The crappy part of them both:

1911 - .45 is expensive, it's HEAVY on your hip after 8 hours

GLOCK - It feels like a toy (until you fire it)

Glock paid publicity BS! I've fired over 800 rounds in one session with my 1911 loaded with dirty W231 and cast lead bullets, and I never felt any drag at all.

Todd Jarret has fired 1000 rounds through a 1911, as fast as he could, and it never failed.

I'm not saying you couldn't do it with a Glock, just that saying it can't be done with a 1911 is utter BS!
 
I will only shoot 9mm and 38 special = rounds that wont brake the bank. I would love to have something chamberd in a 45acp but just like my ar-15 right now..it will just be sitting in the safe. (I love my glock)

Try reloading...
I really like my 9MM Glocks, and my G21 is the only 45ACP pistol that I can fire without my arthritic wrists screaming bloody murder!
I trialed some reloads using some of the AIM 230 Gr. copper wash projectiles, and was pleasantly surprised to see some sub 3" groups at 25 yards, freehand.
Once you get up and running, you can shoot your own reloads for basically
1/2 the cost of factory......

And I have been told that a Glock (with round in chamber) will fire if dropped on the end of the barrel. Inertia causes firing pin to come forward and striking primer.

Didn't when I dropped mine (thank god) which was a Gen one (so early they only had 2 models 17 and 17L) All Glocks have a very effective firing pin block. Incidently, neither will a Series 70 Colt, unless you drop it off the second story and it happens to land directly on it's muzzle. Firing pin blocks are largely a defence against spurious lawsuits.

since glocks and ALL modern pistols have to pass a "drop" test especially when sold in california, which all unmodified glock model's are....

your friend is full of poop.... the drop test consists of dropping the glock pistol from 2 meters onto a steel plate, this test is performed with a drop directly onto the muzzle and directly onto the back of the slide, as performed for the austrian army acceptance protocols.

glock passed with flying colours, also of note that it went 15k rounds with only one stoppage.

the gen 1 glocks DID have problems with the DEA frisbee test, this consisted of throwing the glock 15 feet forward from a 4 foot height (so a 4 foot drop), the problem with the Gen 1 guns is the slide would seperate from the frame due to rail failure in the frame, glock redesigned this in the gen2 pistols. and further upgraded it in the gen3 guns.

glocks are great guns and as safe as any other gun out there....

Whoever told you that has no idea what they're talking about. Let me guess, they probably don't own a Glock either.

also of note that the california acceptance protocols and drop test is the most stringent for civilian..... most military drop tests will be different, for example the austrian army 2 meter's.

here are the california criteria.

12128. As used in this chapter, the "drop safety requirement for handguns" means that at the conclusion of the firing requirements for handguns described in Section 12127, the same certified independent testing laboratory shall subject the same three handguns of the make and model for which certification is sought, to the following test:
A primed case (no powder or projectile) shall be inserted into the chamber. For pistols, the slide shall be released, allowing it to move forward under the impetus of the recoil spring, and an empty magazine shall be inserted. For both pistols and revolvers, the weapon shall be placed in a drop fixture capable of dropping the pistol from a drop height of 1m + 1cm (39.4 + 0.4 in.) onto the largest side of a slab of solid concrete having minimum dimensions of 7.5 X 15 X 15 cm (3 X 6 X 6 in.). The drop distance shall be measured from the lowermost portion of the weapon to the top surface of the slab. The weapon shall be dropped from a fixture and not from the hand. The weapon shall be dropped in the condition that it would be in if it were dropped from a hand (cocked with no manual safety applied). If the design of a pistol is such that upon leaving the hand a "safety" is automatically applied by the pistol, this feature shall not be defeated. An approved drop fixture is a short piece of string with the weapon attached at one end and the other end held in an air vise until the drop is initiated.
The following six drops shall be performed:
(a) Normal firing position with barrel horizontal.
(b) Upside down with barrel horizontal.
(c) On grip with barrel vertical.
(d) On muzzle with barrel vertical.
(e) On either side with barrel horizontal.
(f) If there is an exposed hammer or striker, on the rearmost point of that device, otherwise on the rearmost point of the weapon.
The primer shall be examined for indentations after each drop. If indentations are present, a fresh primed case shall be used for the next drop.
The handgun shall pass this test if each of the three test guns does not fire the primer.

And hey...don't mess with California. There was invented the hot water, the smell of used socks and the say: "I'll be back". Please don't mess with "The Guvernator".

Quite possibly the biggest political disappointment ever, on either side of the border - ran Cali into the ground and then groveled to Maobama to bail the state out. He should be run out of the state and back to Austria on a rail, covered in tar and feathers...
