Why does there need to be a "versus"...?

Use what you like and what you shoot well with...who cares what the other guy shoots or likes...
'Cause he don't know you , or your situation , likes or dislikes....

Both designs work and work well...so pick which one ( or both ) that you like.

Fair enough Andy I like both I just tend to carry Glocks more! I just used the title of the video for some reason people get all riled up when it comes to choosing platforms. I do not discriminate I love all calibers and platforms!

"19 is as small as I go." Spot on. No little mouse guns.

I like the fact that Clint is honest…. No matter how you feel. I love Glocks and 1911s.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

I just gotta ask...

If Glock equals Perfection...how come there are so many different models of 'em...?

Just kidding here....

"I say , I say that's a joke son"....

I like 'em both...both have their well earned place in the firearms world.
As I said earlier both work well ...I prefer the 1911...but that don't mean nothing other than that I prefer it

Glock has a funny definition of perfection. They're certainly reliable, durable, and affordable. But my god are they ugly. We're talking red headed stepchild/crap-house door off a tuna boat ugly. Do they have to be so ugly?

Fortunately, however, there are M&P's.

TFB. Young lawyer with no military or law enforcement experience is a YouTube gun expert. I'll admit, he's actually fairly engaging and has some great guests (he's interviewed Jack Carr a couple times, good episodes). Plus, his mom Connie appears to around my age and still looks darn good.

Why does there need to be a "versus"...?

Exactly. Apples to oranges. I love my 1911s (too much, my wife says), but I'm pretty pragmatic about the rest of my tools.

Fortunately, however, there are M&P's

And SIG P-320s, and Walther PDPs, and HK VP9s, hell, even the Caniks and Sar pistols are nice....

Learned on a 1911, carried one for years, it will always be one of favorite pistol designs and legacies, but today I own zero 1911's and five 9mm Glocks. If I were to purchase a 1911 style right now it would be a Staccato P.

 

[titsonritz]

Crack me up the the ol' boy behind the counter was trying to say the 1911 was just a reliable as the Glock and mom goes out the range and a malfunction in her 50 rounds.

 

[cigars]

I just sold my Glonk (see my updated signature). It's in a better place now. Still have my 1911, always will. Truth being told, I wouldn't want to get shot by any of them. So own/shoot what makes you happy. Lately I've been into Kahr's and Jericho's. I believe that I have found my calling.

 

[titsonritz]

James Reeves: So why would I buy a 1911 in the year 2022?

Clint Smith: I don't know why you would because you can buy three Glocks for one 1911 and sh!tload of magazines and bunch of ammo so I can become competent.

 

[Koda]

Clint his the nail on the head, todays 1911s are way overpriced for what they are.
In todays age, a -modern- 2011(1911) is just as viable a tool as a glock, but their high price tag keeps them in the niche market of nostalgia.

 

[Ducati_Meister]

I can't crap on either platform as I use both and both seem to work well for me. It's just a matter of what works for you personally.

Dude don't hesitate if your thinking about a 2011 in 9mm. My 2011 is the best handgun I've ever used, I'm thankful the Lord presented the opportunity to acquire it. You will love it if you already like 1911's, it is similar but brings the 1911 into the modern era. I'd carry mine daily if it wasn't a 5", I'll probably later get a C2 or buy a frame and build one with a 4" for carry.

Oh, I'll get one I just currently have other priorities like this years training season, if it isn't tuition or ammo it isn't even getting a glance right now.

I'm a 1911 guy. First gun I ever bought was a 1911. I carried one in the Navy. My Kimber pro carry is the most accurate, reliable pistol I own. I'm all in on 1911's, all day, every day!

My EDC is a Glock 23.

I know, I know, just shoot me.....

I'm in the same boat as you, the first pistol I ever shot was a 1911 in Navy Boot Camp circa 1975. I've got 3 of them now. I carry a Glock 22 but only have just the one Glock.

 

[solv3nt]

I find myself with one 1911, and another one on order. It's currently outnumbered by three Blocks.

My thoughts 100%!!

We call those...50/10/50's!

At 50ft, they are looking pretty hot! Then when you see 'em at 10ft, you are wishing they were back at 50ft!


My daddy says, that's why they invented the paper sack so, I really never cared!
