Dude, use a pic of a 45 that could have actually killed Nazis next time....
Still, nice TRP!
And to the OP, have both but I follow JMB!
But, what if Glock started producing 1911s.

I can't choose just one. It may be blasphemy to do so but I can't do it.
A 1911 is like the prom queen. (Sophisticated, higher maintenence, gorgeous, almost everyone likes her.)
A Glock is like a hot Emo chick. (Crude, dark, unsophisticated, but she has a hard time getting everyone to accept her.)
I can assure you that you couldn't find a single Nazi killing gun that looked like that.
GLOCK® surprised the firearms industry today by announcing that the company will begin selling a full-size single stack intended for the American law enforcement and competition market. While prototypes had been designated GLOCK 21SSSSF, or Single Stack Super Slim Fit, the production gun will be marketed simply as the GLOCK 1911 Gen 4. GLOCK’s press release promises the new gun is a “game changer.” A limited number of prototypes emerged from a secret testing regimen with glowing reviews. One tester, a former Tier 1 Operator known only as “Mack”, posted on his Facebook account, “One hit from this and it’s all over.”
The GLOCK 1911 Gen4 breaks from GLOCK tradition in its use of an exposed hammer instead of GLOCK’s signature striker-firing system. To ensure safety, the single-action-only firing mechanism is protected by no less than 12 safety systems including the integral trigger safety, grip safety, thumb safety, other thumb safety, slide lock safety, half-cock safety, and 3 triple-redundant firing pin safeties. The inside of the slide is rumored to be a maze of springs and detents, but no images will be allowed until Brinks gets their approval paperwork back from the U.S. Patent Office.
At today’s press conference, GLOCK spokesman Frederich Unterwafflen appeared to react angrily when asked why the 1911 Gen 4 carries only 8 rounds of ammunition in its magazine, compared to the GLOCK 21 and 21SF which carry 13 rounds. “What, are you planning on missing a lot because you shoot like a sissy?” Unterwafflen responded. Quickly changing the subject, he hinted that GLOCK will also release a limited production run of collector’s edition “Zombie Mutilator” 1911 Gen4 pistols, which will have lime green grips, night sights that glow red, and “Z” factory proofmarks stamped on every single part no matter how small.
Street price of the 1911 Gen4 is anticipated to be around $800, undercutting the upcoming Heckler and Koch 1911 by a hefty $2,300.
Update: Only hours after the 1911 Gen4 rollout,GLOCK announced that they are no longer taking orders for the pistol as they were immediately swamped with thousands of backorders. GLOCK cannot build complete guns quickly enough to meet demand due to the 2012 Lanyard Loop Shortage, of which we are all aware.
Too awesome a story. Well written, like the ones in the Duffel Bag.
It's 1911 blasphemy to post a picture of a railed 1911, and make a WWII Nazi comment

I would say the Glock is more like a sweet fat girl. She's not going to turn any heads, but she's more loyal and reliable than the prom queen.
As for this house, I'm torn on whom to serve. I love the 1911, but am issued a Glock for work.
EDIT : It is one of my dreams to someday have a genuine WW2 era 1911 in a shadow box on my wall aside the 3 boxes of circa 1942 45 ball ammo I have in my safe.... Such a gorgeous gun.
I'll take my Glocks over a 1911.
