The 1911's are a engineering marvel and its so great to take something like this and turn it into a masterpiece and there is nothing that matches the natural feel that a 1911. The Glock on the other hand is pretty much polymer and stamped steel with a Stainless Barrel (polygonal bbl) that you cant shoot lead bullets with and steel pins. To tighten up a Glock you have to peen the slide and compound it out. Then install a gunsmith fit bbl, not a drop in!  A 1911 you have many options and end up with beautiful buttery slide to frame that feels like is floating at perfection. To get a 3.5 (or less) trigger pull on a 1911 is pretty effortless and has a (breaks like glass) trigger pull with easily adjustable pre-travel and over travel. The Glock on the other hand gets into a incredibly dangerous situation with stamped steel sear engagement teetering on a stamped steel connector that has the engagement angle altered at the verge that a slight bump would allow the sear to drop, just to get a marginal trigger at 3.5 lbs that still has some creep and overtravel. If you adjust it out with the modifications or spend several hundred for a adjustable trigger, then you have gone out of the liability and warranty of the Glock that I would be afraid to holster! The two guns both have a value in our world and I have owned several of each (well maybe a lot more 1911's) because they are just a better gun. Glocks rebuilds are kind of like putting lipstick on a pig! But if they are actually left stock out of the box you have a gun that you can put a lot of rounds through and it still goes bang. Just my two cents worth of many years of sending lead down range.</p></blockquote><p></p>
