A 1911 is like the model wife... beautiful but high maintenance. The Glock is the "not much to look at but, she's got a great personality and...boy can she cook" kind of wife.jeeperbryan wrote:Really nice. I've been considering one of the new Gen 4 Glock 22s.
I hate to tell you, but you're definitely in the minority here. Although most would agree Glocks are utilitarian and ugly, I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to a 1911 as ugly. IMO, the 1911 is the most beautiful handgun that's every been made. Probably why every manufacturer has their clone. Do a poll and I'm willing to bet 99 out of 100 dentists agree.karl wrote:I'm actually starting to warm up to Glocks, still uglier than a 1911 though
Comparing Glock to Taurus is like comparing a Toyata to a Ford. They're not even in the same class. The Glock will run forever, under whatever conditions. I've yet to hear of any Taurus torture tests or 20000 round tests.karl wrote: When I first bought my Taurus it went bang every time too, so if you look at only that we're on par.
I still desire my 1911's.
