Harleys have come a long long long way in reliability. I however still quite often read about $2000 or more custom 1911's not quite working right off the bat.
Harelys are big, slow compared tons of other bikes, turn like a log floating down a river, and are sexy.
1911's "once tuned in" if they need it, are relatively accurate if not dead nuts on, have a light easy trigger and are sexy. Mainly the opposite of a Harely but they have the sexy thing working together.
I love to look at Harely's and I can admire them most easily. Same thing with a 1911, super pretty to look at and I can really appreciate it when someone lets me shoot one. But here comes the but!
I'll take the SV650 and the Glock 19. Both are pretty plain but they do what they need to do with no complaints. Both have enough grunt for me, look good enough even when roughed up and dirty, and both are reasonably price.
Hey, I'm sure this one is going to go down hill but my true opinion is rock what you like. I love to look at the custom Harely, I've even got to ride a few and enjoyed it tremondously, same with the 1911. But I'm a much more toned down type guy, I have to figure in bang for the buck factor.
And as far as accuracy goes, the previous poster was right, their 1911 will more than likely outshoot the Glock, easily. But I'm not looking for MOA out of a pistol, I just want Minute of a Meth Head.
