I posted this to a thread on 1911forum.com and thought I'd post it here too because I think I made an interesting connection. This is a somewhat edited version for clarity.
PCs being 1911s, made by everyone including hobbiests with performance and reliability all over the board. Glocks are like Macs. One company makes them. They're all the same. Costs a fortune to modify and are extremely simple to opperate. Since there is one source and one design they are very consistant.
For a long time I was somewhat biased against the 1911 style guns for no particularly good reason. As I've matured as a shooter and finished growing my hands have changed and so they point better for me now and I've gotten over the wierd feel of the grip safety.
After renting a Kimber Stainless Target II I added the Delta Elite to the 10mms I was shopping for and found a good deal on one so it's on it's way.
The Delta will be my 1st Colt, my 1st Government model pattern gun, and my 1st 10mm. I own lots of differant guns and I expect them all to go Bang when they're supposed to. I expect the Colt to also be pretty so I'm getting some Black Pearlite Ajax grip panels for it
I guess I'm a pretty rare breed. I like both Glocks and 1911 pattern guns. I've got a Delta Elite on the way and I look foreward to putting as may rounds down range as I have with my G24P.
I'm a PC fan but understand where the Macs fit. I love my Glock, but the 1911 really is a great gun.
I think the animocity between the Glockers and the 1911 fans is more of an excuse to start an argument than having anything to do with the quality of the weapons.
Can't we all just get along? For the children!
