I've had several of the 1911 frame guns and several glocks. Glock has never let me down. Now it's all I will shoot.

I like Glocks. I have 7 of them. Most have trigger jobs and after market sights. They work every time.

I have a 1911 Kimber that is going to have to go to the gunsmith yet again. I can fix anything with my Glocks with nothing but a punch pin. Not so with the 1911.

Get T.R. Graham's DVD "Making Your Glock Rock". It will put them in a new light.

Glocks are not built to be pretty. They are built to be reliable and easy to use

Something I read on another gun forum that made sense to me was that the difference between Glocks, or for that matter most polymer guns, and the all steel guns is that they call the steel guns “wet guns”, meaning that they need the rails to be always wet lubed---meaning more frequent attention to cleaning, etc. I bet you could leave Glock or H&K on the shelf for a year or two, or longer without cleaning, and it would run flawlessly.

I don’t know about a Sig, but I have owned about every other quality name brand all steel gun. None of them were as reliable as the Glock. And the 1911 was the most un-reliable gun I have ever owned. I would rather have a J.C. Higgins side by side 12 gauge than a COLT 1911. I have had literally about ten Colts, a Kimber, and a Springfield Armory Loaded1911 and the Springfield Armory was the only one that worked.
