My daughter isn't that picky yet. Although, her first choice of handguns was a Colt 1911/22 Gold Cup. I let her try a few different types and she choose that one. We're on the verge of dating, so maybe it will start to make a difference in the next few years. I'll just have to wait and see where her tastes take her.LabRat wrote:Cars and guns....lotta guys here......TangoX-ray wrote:The Glock is the automotive equivalent of a Toyota Camry: seats 5, has a decent trunk, and reliable for many miles. 1911s are like Corvettes: seats 2, has some old tech (looking at you, single cam), and a great history.
But let me relate a story about my daughter.
5'9".....125 lbs......maybe.
Loves my 1911-so much so I have to lock it up when she visits.
Shooting at Bullet Trap a few months back. She's rocking that 1911 with pretty good precision.
I'm loading magazines like a hired servant.
She's blond, tall and slim.....several young guys are asking...."What's she shooting?" (That 1911 has a distinctive report). (Like that was the reason)
Says I: "A 1911.... .45 cal...you want to give it a go?" NO takers for shooting the pistol.....they were 9mm Glock guys, as I observed later.
They struck up a conversation with my daughter afterwards...but they were not messing with the 1911.
I laughed all the way home. My daughter told them: "No 1911...no date." I laughed some more.

Re: It's finally been settled!
I've always found it curious and wondered why some 1911 folks are always comparing their 1911's to Glocks or trying to convince others that they are better than Glocks, but Glock folks don't do the same. Is it envy, jealousy, or something else?
