I have a personal bias towards 1911s though I do think Glocks are good guns. I would be almost willing to bet that if you check what weapons have the most unintended discharges, it would be Glocks. That could be because they are so common in police work, but it could also be because they do not have the external safety that 1911s and other pistols do. I have not done a proper study on this, so it is just a seat of the pants estimate, fueled by bias, so I could be wrong. It is just something to consider, IMO.
There's a reason the term "glock leg" exists; I've never heard it called "1911 leg". :)
