Gotta have a black pistol to go with my black rifle.

Yep.

And if you can point me to a link that shows 1911s doing the same thing I’ll cheerfully retract my comment…

(PS: Ain’t got no dog in this hunt. No Glock, but I do have a S&W SW99 [Walther P99]. Have a 1911, but it’s a family heirloom and as such doesn’t get shot much…)

That’s right – 1000 rounds in one day. That’s a bunch of reloads. And it was an IDPA/USPSA-style match, to boot. You know you’ve shot a lot when you say, “I’ve shot enough today.”

Glocks won. Both times.

Either put up or shut up.

Seriously though. I’d hate to use a nice 1911 for self defense and have it taken into evidence but with a Glock who’d care.

I also wouldn’t want to rely on any of my (1911 based) race-guns for self protection. Not with the number of rounds that get shot through them and not with the finicky normal capacity magazines. Even though a .38-super race-gun with a 170mm magazine is like having a 28-shot .357 magnum (125 grains at 1440 fps under the old power factor of 175).

Of course, I cleaned it after every range session.

Here’s another one

Let me know when the 1911 has it own page(s) dedicated to ways it can blow up.

Thanks for playing…

There’s a page for that? I know there’s an issue (particularly with the 40S&W model) that causes it to go boom when you use non-jacketed rounds. Lead builds up in the polygonal rifling or some such. Glock warns against using it.

All right you two, let’s make this a clean fight, no gou–…uh, Mr. Browning…are you going to join us at center ring for the referee’s instructions? Mr. Browning….

They are hideously ugly though.

Thanks for playing…

I will, Glock wins easily

You bastard! Everyone knows Glocks are tupperware made for loosers, not to mention the ugliest piles of junk known to man. And talk about bad ergonomics, blech. Who chose that grip angle anyway?

Alrighty, I’m all warmed up.
