Ouch!
This picture hurts my eyes.
 
It would go against everything Glock is and the 1911 is. Manual Safety and a good SA trigger nothing more anti-Glock.

Glock had better do something otherwise eventually they will become outdated lets face it the world wouldn't belong to Microsoft if Windows still looked like Win3.1. Evolve or die, I believe is the phrase.
 
I always thought it would be cool if someone could build a striker-fired pistol on a single-stack 1911ish frame. If glock or anyone else decided to make something like that, I would get one in a heartbeat, specially if you could interchange the mags and grips with a 1911.
Doesn't Para already do this with their LDA guns?
 
Not ever gonna happen. The market place is crowded already. Glock's production methods are totally wrong for it - their pistols are engineered from the ground up to be reliable but cheap and quick to produce. 1911's are engineered for HEAVY hand fitting, which in the developed world is very, very expensive. That's why 1911's manufactured in developed countries cost a fortune and the cheap ones come from poorer countries where manual labor is cheaper.

Overall, the ONLY way I'd see Glock doing this is if they were stamping their name on a 1911 made by someone else, and that is unlikley to happen. Problems with those guns manufactured by a separate company could hurt Glock's reputation, and Glock's bread and butter is in government (LEO) contracts where reputation is a VERY important thing.

Not to mention that the mismatch of philosophies would likely turn people off. For example, I like Taco Bell - eat it fairly often. I also like eating sushi. However, if Taco Bell started selling sushi, there's no way in heck I'd buy it. Just not what they're good at.
 
We'd be more likely to see a factory produced .22lr Glock before we'd see a Glock re-engineered 1911...and for the same reason. The glitches would ruin their reputation...as long as the .22lr conversions are after market, they can just point and say, "Not Ours".

Of course, I didn't think anyone would re-engineer the S&W revolver lockwork to improve it either...and I was proven wrong
 
I defer to you Gentlemen who have more knowledge on the topic of 1911's and Glocks agenda. I just thought it might make a novelty piece.Never thought I would see a 200 MPH caddilac either.
 
Glock makes Glocks, I have a feeling that is all they will ever make. Besides we have plenty of 1911's on the market do we really need another one?
