Please help me decide... 1911 vs Glock

[dizzy]

You need to consider a few things the 1911 is made by over 100 different companies if I am not mistaken so its a well liked well used pistol design, but was designed for 45 acp, design changes to modify a pisto are not always advantageous. The glock 17 is a 9mm flat out. If you are looking for trouble free range fun buy the glock they are easy to fix easy to sell easy to clean and will be better value for your money, today. If you want a 1911 you will have to save and spend good dollars on a good one and get it in 45. I personally hate glocks (sold mine) and shoot only sigs, but for what you are looking for and comparing I think the glock will serve you better, so I think its fair to say my opinion on this one is unbiased.

for the same price, I would get the 1911.

It find it grips better in my hand and the single action trigger beats the safe action glock trigger

+1

The best trigger job on a Glock is a 2.5lb connector with the NY trigger. Smooth and predictable. Way better than the stock spring and its horrible pull.

Glock in 9mm is unbeatable tool,especially G34 and buy it new.
1911's I like more than any other model but my favourite is in .40 S&W.

Buy the 1911 - there are fewer of them around and you can always find a Glock...

If you intend on getting a .45 down the road I'd get the 1911 in 9mm now.
That way the controls on both your pistols will be identical.

Every pistol on the Canadian market is wonderful. Each one is more accurate than any shooter can be. They are all trouble free--especially if you leave them as they are out-of-the-box, IMHO.

Some will feel more comfortable in your hand at first, but as you become a better shooter, you'll get tight groups with any pistol you pick up.

For target shooting at a bench, they are all wonderful. But some give more shooting pleasure than others. Some are too snappy. Some grips feel like chair legs.

Reload your ammo. Then, your ammo becomes so cheap that you can afford both a Glock and a 1911.

But, make sure that your 1911 is .45ACP, not 9mm.

Shooting a .45 1911 is one of the great aesthetic joys of shooting. That pleasure will be lost with a 9mm 1911.

Glock has limit service life/round. 1911 will last basically forever so it is better for range use.

I guess 345,000 rounds on original parts isn't long enough.

Not a big Glock fan, but limited life with the glock in 9mm? like the one that has fired 1,000,000 rds.

I guess when we live in such a "disposable" world, it's easy to believe that something "plastic" would wear out faster than metal. But still, do some research before posting stuff like that.

Is my Glock here yet? I miss it already.
