I say we stick a G17 and a 1911 in a box and let them fight it out for themselves. Just mail the box to me, and I'll be the official referee...

KInd of reminds me of all the riceburner riders always going on about how their bike looks just as good as a Harley but is faster, better, cheaper. Yeah sure whatever. You do it your way, I'll do it mine just don't expect me to have to use one of those ugly things...

'whether 'tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outraged plastic, or to sleep, perhaps to dream of an all steel 1911a1...
All I know is, at 1911forum under the LEO section, very few recommend anything less than a full blown Wilson combat for a duty weapon. The same is not said about Glock. I own both (a Springfield 1911 that is) and a Glock, my Glock resides in my duty belt.

Benchmarks for reliability?
Depends on who's marking the bench, and when?
When first tested by the US military the M1911 ran 6,000 rounds w/o a malfunction. The 40 year old M1911A1s that set the benchmark for the US military in the early 80s/XM9 trials avgd about 450 rounds. The Beretta and SIG beat that (except in wet/dry mud, where old slabsides was still numero uno).
FBI 1911s and Glocks have fired 20K rounds w/o a malfunction. So have M9s. SIGs, HKs, and S&Ws in recent LE tests have gone 10K w/o a malfunction.
Lottsa good guns out there now.
Get what ya like, or flip a coin and like what ya get.

I love these debates, it is a chance for people to start sharing what they feel, may be fact, may be what they read somewhere, who knows.
I am a dyed in the wool 1911 man. I have owned, traded, sold them for 30+ years. In 45 cal I have to say that the ones I have owned have been very reliable. Maybe the “1911 fairy” has just shined on me. I love them old; I love them new (Colt series 70 re-issue only). I have owned them stock; I have owned them modified. They fit my hand and just are the only thing I collect and keep.
BUT, I also own three Glock's and shoot them far more often than my 1911’s.The reason is simple. I pull trigger they go bang. I use them for CCW and house guns. My reason for doing this is simple. I have NO emotional attachment to any of them. If God forbid I have to use one, I will not shed a tear when they spend a year or more in a police property room, easy to attach lights and lasers. I will not have to explain in court why I felt the need to have a “modified” weapon to defend myself. I do not worry about them rusting, I do not worry about them period.
Both have their place, and both are fine weapons. One is only “better” because we choose to say it is.
