[QUOTE="J.P., post: 18022, member: 6"] GMT, It is not a 'trick' it is just annoying to me and perhaps others,when someone tries to pick apart every word or statement that is just an internet OPINION,in an attempt to discredit that person. This is not a court of law. Was it a 'blanket' indictment of a whole class of weapons? Probably. So what. I'm sure Jay has enough experience with both weapons to form his opinion. Could he be wrong? Sure,but your persistance in trying to 'correct' him does more damage to the public good than his statement that Glocks are better than 1911s. If he were to have pretexted his statement with : "From what I have seen" (glocks jam less than any other weapon) would that have made a difference or would his experience or "what he has seen" have been called into question as was mine? Will a SIG always jam less than a Glock? Yes,in my experience,I have found that to be true. I'm not going to bother to qualify that or list my extensive experience with both weapons. Since we are checking facts to discredit opinion here,I'm going to give you a rough estimate of Glock vs. 1911 numbers at any local match.If you need exact specifics,you'll have to research it yourself. Roughly the number is 28 Glocks to 7 1911s. Variances among manufacturers do account for poorer quality,no doubt. There are also a lot of poor manufacturers out there. I could take a survey of whaich brands jam the most and say "Kimbers jam more than any other 1911". While that might not necessarily be scientifically accurate,it would satisfy me,because I don't trust them not to. Of course as (at least semi-) intelligent adults,we can draw our own conclusions and just because something is written on an internet board doesn't mean the author has spoken the 'gospel' and has an agenda. Read it,disagree, and move on. I had to edit my original; post to state that he probably put more rounds downrange in a "week" instead of "month" than most of us do all year. ;) Again,he is entitled and more than likely qualified to make blanket statements...he sees and shoots a lot of guns and I don't think his qualifications need to be called into question. Glock ain't the "be all end all" of handguns but they are darn good. When the perfect handgun comes along,I'll let you know. :) [/QUOTE]
