[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3847609, member: 45773"] Wow... I get that you're a huge Glock fanboy but those are pretty bold claims (and very questionable in my opinion). You're assuming Glocks are better. I don't buy that at all. Like I said...good gun. I've carried them on duty and off, I've carried them as an EDC gun, and owned at least one for 3 decades now. But better than a 1911 or some of the other top handguns? Nope...not buying that at all. And this statement: ...just doesn't make sense. The 1911 "...existed until something better was invented"? The 1911 is still going strong. It still "exists"...and quite prominently in the gun culture. It's manufactured by more companies than ever before in more varieties and configurations than ever before. 1911 models are still being made because they work...and they work well. Is there some romance and nostalgia involved in some way? Sure...I'd say to a small degree. But that's not what keeps the model going. That's just a silly thing to say when those guns are used by so many people in many capacities...professional, competition, recreational, etc... They're even still used by some military units. When Glocks have been continuously made for over 110 years, and at that point are still being made in huge numbers by a variety of manufacturers, we'll talk again. Until then, well...there's not much else to say. [/QUOTE]
