Hey guys.
I currently own a Springfield 1911 V-16 (big chunk of steel with a 6" barrel). I am looking for a more practical pistol to be used for every day carry and home defense. I have looked around and am kinda wanting to get a Glock. My girlfriend will also be using this gun and we have shot the Glock models 21, 17 and 19. I am comfortable with all three, and my girlfriend claims to have no trouble with any of them. She seems to fumble a little with the 21 but maintains about an 8" circle at roughly 20 yards slow fire, and can generally keep all rapid shots in the black on a silhouette target. Do you think I could reasonably ask to trade my 1911 (very good condition) with the original case, springs, and 3 magazines for a new Glock and a couple boxes of ammo? Or do you think I should do something else entirely? Advice and comments are welcome, and thanks!
