"A properly set up 1911 is just as reliable as any glock and 4 times as pretty."
What is a "properly set up 1911."
And how many parts and man hours would be required for this properly set up 1911

M-1911, if made as JMB intended. E.g., no MIM parts, spring steel extractor, and a 7 round mag with the dimple on the follower.
Finally, still proclaiming my ignorance, I'll say this--style matters. Style differentiates a man who will fight, from one who will not. In my humble opinion, an M1911 is a suitable weapon for a man, because it looks like a man’s weapon.
Here are a couple of articles that explain the short-recoil system:

http://www.rkba.org/guns/principles/...rt-recoil.html
Handgun manufacturers which use the Browning style short-recoil system include Browning, Colt (and all other 1911 makers), Sig Sauer, Glock, CZ, Ruger, Smith&Wesson, FN, Kahr, and I'm sure there are others that I don't know about.
you just don't know for sure what will happen when you squeese the trigger on an autoloader.
That's BS.a tuned 1911 would fire any ammo
even a tuned glock would choke on reloads
I’m sorry, but all the posts about the Glock?!
Don’t the French police carry 9mm Glocks? I mean come on guys! THE FRENCH? Any society that ranks Jerry Lewis as a comic genius and have mimes as street entertainment plus eat egg pie (quiche) and the men kiss each other on the cheeks? They can’t even hold cigarettes right! You just can’t take the French seriously, so how could you trust the Glock?? Is their even a Chevy pick-up in France, or do they have to go and borrow one from England or Spain when they need one? Please, an Austrian weapon favored by the French, ha!
Don't they also have man-purses too?!?!
Thanks for the useful contribution to the discussion with your 14th post.Wake me up when we get to the 4th quarter with two minutes left.
(Golly, gee whiz...I hope this one doesn't go into overtime....uhhhh, are we in overtime now???. Whooze ahead, the Glockophiles, the Siggies, or the 1911ers??? Anyone seen the hotdog vendor?)
