Today is the 4th Glock vs. 1911 Match held outside OK City. Rules are that any malfunction happens to your gun and you are out. No maintenance is allowed at any time. The idea is to go 1000 rounds. The match starts in an hour. I will post updates on platform performance during the day.

Liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guy probably limp-wristed it. :evil:

Do they allow adding oil every 150 or so rounds or just run through 1,000 rounds of abuse?

Okay, match is over. Came down to a G17 and a Colt Commander. Both went the full distnace and then some. The winner was the G17 because of a better time..

Doc, NO maintenance of any kind is allowed.

We started with 9 Gocks and 7 1911s.
 
Very good.

Could we get a list of what failure/FTF caused each weapon to be dropped? Hopefully with round count or approximate round count etc. and ammunition used. Thank you.

I own both. In fact right now I am campaigning in the Steel Challenge with a Glock 34. IDPA I still shoot my 1911's. Bowling Pins, 1911. Most other misc training and match's I shoot 1911. I maintain both weapons equally. Cleaned and inspected after every time it is used, and any faulty parts are immediately replaced or in some rare cases repaired.

My 1911's (9 of them) don't FTF any more than any of my Glocks. At this time I only have 3. Have owned many about 15 others, but now only 3, I still own every 1911 I have ever owned. I also have MOST of the SIG'S I have ever owned. Not so with my revolvers. That was a mistake.

So the end results. You began with more Glocks than 1911's, and in the end one of each was reliable, and on score, which is more an example of the shooter the Glock won.

Ok I can live with that. Sort of blows the Glock koolaide all to hell, doesn't it. Note no 45cal Glock survived.

Real life. So few can accept it.

Go figure.

And a big thank you, for letting us know about this.

Thanks so much for sharing this. Great info to have. I did a 3,000 round test on my Colt Series 70 reissue and my Glock 17. Neither failed in any manner, but I did add oil every 150 rounds or so.

This will be an awesome thread for discussion. I'm excited to see it develop.

I am doing updates from a blackberry in the field. I did not run the match. HOWEVER, the head guy will ge me the results in a day or two. We are all pretty beat.
 
Very cool thread. Didn't this competition start on Glocktalk? I remember seeing a similar match like this IIRC.

Nonetheless, glad to hear a 1911 pulled through. :D

Interesting results also!
 
"fail to seat mag after reload" sounds like operator error, not a malfunction



also, if this was the FOURTH match, then what were the results of the first three?
 
Any or all of those jams could be operator error. I know my G23, when limp-wristed, will fail to feed rather than stovepipe. The round nosedives into the base of the feedramp (or even the front of the magazine, in extreme cases). The fact that there were so many failures, in both platforms, probably indicates that the shooters were messing up under stress.

So can "fail to lock back on empty". Occasionally I accidentally hold down the slide lock on my Glock with my thumb.
 
The only time my G23 has had problems not related to a weak mag spring, was when I took it apart and put sand in it. And then I only had about 3 in the next 300 rds I shot.

It was operator error. I am the one that did it.

However, big boy rules apply If you pull trigger and your gun does not fire then you are out, operator error or not.
 
bummer, man. better luck in the 5th match!

i guess I can understand the purpose of the rules, but it means the endurance results only speak to operator+gun, not gun alone.
 
Oh, I can't resist it anymore:

Snicker, snicker, snicker. I know, I know. Someone with the word "Glock" in their nick will be a long soon enough to counter the joke. The difference, they'll be blindly serious. ;)

Seems like it would be more fair if there were an equal number of Glocks vs 1911s. Otherwise there's an advantage to the gun type that has the most entrants since that type of gun can have more overall malfunctions and still have an entrant left in the running.

It also seems that it would be more fair if there were caliber restrictions as well. Like for every 9mm Glock entered there should be a 9mm 1911 entered.
 
operator or gun

Isn`t it funny how quickly excuses are given from people that own the models that were indicated to fail without being there? I just bought a Glock 22, .40 and the reason that I bought it is because it`s utilized by more police departments and government officials than any other. Tried and trued.

I am very happy with it. The first thing that I did was have the gunsmith at the shop that I bought it from replace the 6 pound trigger with a 3 pounder. The next thing that I did was take it to my uncles land and waiste about $70.00 in ammo. I loaded all 3 magazines and fired as fast as I could as he reloaded the expended magazines. I went through 300 rounds in just a few minutes without 1 single problem. I am, however, curious as to the accuracy. I used 180 grain Remington JHP`s I know that these could be considered as a bit much but they were on sale. Tried and trued, that`s why I bought it.

Actually it was a COLT Government stainless that won. I had the only Commander.
 
johnksa, you really think one caliber is inherently more reliable than another?
 
Hi everyone, First post here...

I'm the guy who had the 1911 that made it to the end of the 1000 round shoot today.

Sorry for the confusion but to clarify, the pistol is a carbon steel Colt 1991A1 Government Model. It has been modified with the addition of a Commander hammer, beavertail grip safety, ambidextrous thumb safety, Ed Brown barrel and bushing, Heinie sights, and a hard chrome finish. I was running CMC Powermags and Federal American Eagle 230 grain ball.

I'd also like to say...to me it did not matter if there were more Glocks than 1911's or vice-versa, or more 9mm's than .45's, or shooter induced malfunctions, or whatever other concern some nay-sayer may come up with. I shot the match to have a lot of fun with a lot of great people. I had a GREAT time and plan to attend next year!

-Tim
