I've never been much of a glock guy but my kahr isn't doing it for me. Just don't really like it after carrying it for a few months. After doing some good hard training with a few friends and instructors I decided to find a gen 3 G19.......
Or not, cause they're sold out everywhere. I wanted the glock for its robustness, high capacity, and huge aftermarket support. I like 9 cause I shoot alot and it's cheaper.
So today I was at a couple shops browsing I found myself thinking about a great deal of options. Some that stuck out were a .40 glock and grabbing a 9 drop in barrel for cheaper practice. Then the gun buying madness (already picked up a new shotgun!) began to take hold and started looking at a compact glock 10mm and a .40 conversion barrel. Then, oh my goodness, a sexy looking commander 1911 for 600.....
I had to leave or I would have made a silly purchase. So I turn to you, dear friends, to give me advice, experiences of reliability in running a 1911 hard, any firsthand knowledge you may have (for example I hear gen 4 9mm glocks are having some troubles...)
I understand the 1911 leaves me with the same capacity my kahr has, but I'm liking it. Maybe instead of advice I just need to justify it? Do full size 1911 mags work in smaller framed pistols?
