For fear of this condition worsening I have consulted a medical professional on your behalf.
Said medical professional has said that; to make certain this condition does not worsen and to avoid any further future relapse of the exact opposite syndrom:

You have been advised by the good doctor to retain your glock and add a 1911 .. any loss of either may cause a relapse.

Also advised are pointing and finger exercises to go hand in hand with paper and bang therapy.

I hope you get well soon :p

Most of my pre 1911 experience was with SIG's and in particular SIG's with those awesome Nill grips. When I got the 1911, it felt edgy by comparison. Now mine nestles into my hand like it was born there. It is surpassed only by my SIG P-210 which also has those Nill masterpieces. I've had a Glock "experience" and again by comparison it felt like picking up a piece of roughly hewn tree. The 1911 has been popular for a very long time. Its cousin the P-210 has a similar history. This is not by accident.
 
I have over 10k plus through my 1911 spartan without a single hicup. That being said you need to clean them - unlike a glock. When I owned a glock it got cleaned after most range trips just because I am OCD about cleaning.
 
Wouldn't sell the glock though ...
Glock was the first handgun I ever got ....even though my taste in firearms has changed, and I think there are way better guns out there.
I find that I miss that ugly old thing .
everyone needs a beater, and glock is probably the best in that category..... hands down ....
Im certain I will be picking another one up sometime soon .
 
I think a 1911 will complement your Glock. No need to sell it. Some people like glocks, some people like 1911's. I like guns. Don't sell it. I guarantee they won't fight with each other after you close the safe door.
 
Both...or sell me the G22 for 400 dollars. ;)

Before you spend money on a gun, go out and buy a really good cleaning kit - you can get them at gun shops (No really, they are there, complete kits JUST for CLEANING). You've never really needed one with your Glock, but now you'll need to be pretty OCD about cleaning, and greasing and oiling.

How many folks do you know who've gone from a Glock to a 1911? Most folks go from maintenance intensive to less maintenance intensive, not vice versa. I met one at the range once, I had to show him how to clean the firing pin and channel, it was ugly in there.

There's no real problem for me with regards to cleaning issues. I've been in the Army for 11 years, and I don't know how to keep a gun dirty. It makes me feel wrong.

I don't have to clean my sledge hammer or crowbar either but that doesn't bother me at all. However I do enjoy cleaning and maintaining my high-end kitchen knives. I'm sorta strange like that.:stirthepot2:
 
;-)
I was thinking more along the lines of acquired taste: the same as they say happens with good scotch or whiskey, which you grow into.
For me this too is just a hearsay, as I apparently haven't yet acquired that taste, being 40 but still having no plans to grow up ;)
I do appreciate a good gun when I see one, though. CZ for the win! :cool:
