I love the butthurt that always seems to develop on INGO.
Billt actually has the right idea if we look at handguns purely as a tool. Glocks are lighter, hold more ammo and are plug and play so far as parts are concerned. All good attributes in a fighting pistol. I have owned several Glocks over the years. I shoot them well. I carried Glock for many years. When the zombies come to eat my brains there will be a Glock on my side. It is also interesting to note the number of well respected instructors that are switching from 1911s to polymer. Tom Givens refers to a 1911 as a 2 bad guy gun, his Glock 35 is a 3 bad guy gun. Never mentioned 15 bad guys.
I have switched from Glock to 1911 because I can. Same reason I drive an F-150 instead of a Honda Civic. The Honda is a heck of a lot more practical. Call it ego if you will but I like being able to send a very accurate chunk of heavy lead down range. Now I am really going to blow your mind. We have invested in a couple 9mm 1911s and I am here to say that I think they are great! The day Smith & Wesson releases a commander sized, scandium framed roundbutt in 9mm will be the same day you see me shelling out some cash.
