If you like the single stack .45 ACP, theres always the G-36.
holy crap dont get these OSA guys started on that comment...
Go ahead and sell the glock to fund the 1911. A glock is a glock is a glock and you can always get another that is identical.

Ordinarily, the rule is "don't sell; add" - but in this case an exception applies - get that 1911 and get rid of that well, umm, other gun! Oh boy will you be glad you did.
Recently bought my first 1911 (a Springfield TRP). Shot it last night...what a gun!!!! Extremely accurate! My advice, forget the Glock and get a quality 1911. You wont regret it.
1911s I've owned:
4 springfield (9mm, 2 gov't, and 1 champion)
1 smith & wesson (gov't)
2 rock island (both gov't)
1 colt (gov't)
I've replaced the springs in some and have always used 8rd power mags, so I've never had a single malfunction in one of them. In that old colt (made in the 20s) I even shot semi-wadcutters in it trying to make it jam and it never did. 2 of the springfrields came with buffers and I removed them. I try to keep the gun to as original JMB design as possible. Maybe that's the key to having great pistols that always run. Even the cheapo RIA 1911s ran just fine so it's not like you've got to pay over $1k to get one that's reliable.

I've owned about 2 dozen guns, but never a cf autoloader pistol. I'm curious, just from what I've read, do all the 1911's & offshoots have to be carried hammer down and thumb cocked, or carried Cooper-style? Are any true DA?
