Re: Is 1911 worth the cost?

A good 1911 is a thing of joy - but not all 1911s work well out of the box. (I've read a disturbing number of reports of bad SIGs, and a few of bad Kimbers.)

I have a couple of 1911s and a couple of Glocks. The 1911s are more fun to shoot - especially my Les Baer - and I shoot them faster and more accurately. But they cost more.

The Glocks are completely functional tools, though my Gen 1 G17 is prone to "limp wrist syndrome" when I let a lady shoot it. On the other hand, I often carry a G26, which I haven't been able to make malfunction no matter how I hold it.

Think of a 1911 as a Lexus LS460 and a Glock as a Ford Crown Vic. Which would be more fun to drive?
