Glock vs. 1911

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 | Guns |

“A Glock is like that son that goes to college, gets a decent paying job, and is just a normal person. That kid that always does the right thing, doesn’t ask for much attention, and you sometimes don’t show enough attention to because it isn’t very exciting. But that’s why you love it, you know it’s fine and you did a good job picking it out.

A 1911 on the other hand… that’s the son that acts out in school, doesn’t make it through college, never holds a good job, and never really acts right. He might even dress different, have his own style, and be more refined in appearance than the other 1911 sons. You still love it, even though it is a pain in your butt most of the time.”

A Glock is like a fine German performance sedan. It’s sexy. It shoots (drives) well. It’s high-tech.

A 1911 is like a 56 Chevy. Big. Brash. Low-tech. Simple.

Okay, my first gun was a Glock 26, and I love that gun. But sexy? Glocks?

I wish my 1911s would start not acting right so I could see what all the fuss is about. Tam´s last blog ..East vs. West

i would certainly replace my 1911 if and only if IPSC fanatics will do the same!

so much for that reliability issue…
