[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1681011, member: 684"] This has been weighed and measured so many times, it ranks up there with the 9mm vs. .45, the Ford vs. Chevy, the Ginger vs. Mary Ann debates. :rolleyes2 The bottom line is this. And rest assured, it took me a long time and a wise old leatherneck to convince me of such. The old slab-sides, 1911 and the ol' wheelgun are great weapons. I have both and I love both. But when I go armed both on and off duty, I carry a Glock. I have 15 rounds in my G22 and 10 in my G27. I used to carry a wheelgun on duty many years ago and I just recently acquired the 1911 I have now but I still go with the Glock. Why? Because the wise old Marine told me, and these are his exact words that hit home... "Why would you handicap yourself to only 6 or 8 rounds? You can bet your ass the bad guy has more than that!" Now I ask...if General George Washington, General Custer or General Patton woulda had access to a Glock or any other hi-cap dead-nuts reliable sidearm, do you think they woulda kept their flintlock, Colt SAA or 1911? Maybe...maybe not. All I know is that after 20 years of totin' "Death by Tupperware" I know what it'll do and what it won't. After thousands and thousands of rounds, I've never had ONE single fart out of it. Sadly, I can't say that for my Colt 1911 and (gulp!) my Smith & Wesson revolver. Yes, even my good ol' sixgun jammed up on me during range time at CLEET back in the day. Those unburnt pieces of powder under the cylinder's star are a *****! Usually and as always, YMMV. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
