Must.....stop ......looking.......at .........sweet assed.........Springfield Loaded............ Looking to be getting a .45 in the near future and its between an HK USPf, SIG 220, or that 1911. Decisions, decisions, and the more I look at that picture the more I want to become part of the JMB cult. |
Alot of people like Glock and alot of people like 1911s. Why the hate? I never understood that. |
| I like em both, main reason I carry a glock is weight. It's lighter than my 1911 and holds 8 more rounds. A good 1911 is a magical thing. Glocks are utilitarian but still a magical thing. It's black, plastic, and works. Good 1911's, blue, steel, and works. Not that hard. |
No hate here, believe me. It seems rare we have a handgun topic that doesnt turn into "mine is the best, yours sucks" though. |
Exactly. I have no problem with Glocks or anything else for that matter. But I find it ridiculous that often times a thread will be started with specific wants/needs/requirements/dislikes etc. and everybody ignores that. When somebody says they specifically do not want or like a certain gun for whatever reason and people disregard that and tell them to buy it anyway, its counter-productive, and doesnt help anybody. BTW: I'm going to go edit my original post as to not start another pissing contest. |

Well I've had or still have at least one of almost every choice you listed but haven't found any of them to be perfect. Is this a "dooms day" question were I would have to keep this weapon (and no others) for the rest of my life with little or no way to fix any major problems\rebuild it? If so, I would probably choose the Glock. BTW - Not that I would have chosen it but I think some people would like an "HK" option? |

I own everyone of them except a Glock,(which I 've shot many times). I like all of them! That is why I own many different handguns. The joy of owning and shooting all these makes for an enjoyable time at the range. People keep asking, "If you had to sell all but one, which would it be? That is too hard for me to answer! I hope it never comes to that!!! |
Ahh there's the noob shooter  You can always spot a noobie when they tell you they've never seen ( insert gun name here ) malfunction. If you've been shooting long enough you'll at least one of everything malf sooner or later. |
Very true, even Glocks can choke! |
....................like you gotta ask 
I would disagree! I think that John Browning's inventions rule over everything, ie. the 1911 and BHP pistols. I'm sitting here with my S.A. 1911 and BHP in front of me as I write this! To me , just the best!! |
+1 JMB > Gaston Glock |

Because until relatively recently HK was not very common. They've only really taken off here in the US in the last few years. The P7 was never a very common gun, it's not really until the USP that they were a common find in gunshops. S&W on the other hand has been a solid seller for many years and frankly I ran out of poll options. I'm sure somebody would like to see XDs and CZs too. Besides, who needs more than one plastic gun per poll....  |
