[QUOTE="JD8, post: 2774883, member: 24"] You're just not getting it and I'm not sure why. Somehow magically, the 1911 is only good for the range in your world when it's been used for years in combat. As if defending yourself from another human being has significantly changed. 1911s are rampant in competition, which shows their reliability and accuracy have the potential to be sufficient in any SD situation as shots can be placed on target in very quick succession. You see, the reality is that none of us here are in combat. Therefore, for any practical purpose of self defense in the reality that we live in, 1911s will work very well. However, if you believe yourself to be in "combat" day in and day out and think the latetst and greatest will only suffice, then glock isn't your answer. There are several platforms that have surpassed Glock in several ways. In essence, it's obsolete as a polymer framed pistol if that's your measure. To your last comment, actually...... a good knife is imperative in several situations in daily life, self defense and of course, "combat." Point is that every tool has it's purpose, obsolete in your opinion or not, and some can serve you very well. Finally, I'm not so sure that many steel framed guns out perform a hi-power, but that's just me. [/QUOTE]
