Going with a Wilson CQB over a gen 4 Glock 17

[motorcopm4]

Buying a $3k plus gun is all about art and luxury.

For $4000, you could get a serious long range rifle. You could outfit yourself with several sport utility rifles, a reloading setup with supplies, several self-defense handguns and a good 22 (with several thousand rounds of ammo).

$4k could be HALF of a fairly decent double barrel shotgun. If you were serious, $20k can get you something nice. Yes...there are people who spend that much money on a shotgun.

But...for self-defense, I just don't see the need for a $3k+ gun. The gun is going to get dinged up and won't hold its value. If you use it to stop a criminal, you will probably lose it (not in all jurisdictions, but many of them).

What does this gun do that a Glock, SIG, S&W or other won't do?

Granted, I consider my self-defense guns to be just another expense. The real cost will be your legal defense (since in some places in the US, even being right gets the good guy jail time).

never understood that and I have 12 1911's

Every day I spend away from a 1911 in my hand makes me revert to my previous Glock experience and interest. Maybe I'll just get both, and compare them over a year or two.

That's the best option. I have both.

If I ever get that reloading setup I've been drooling over, I'll get one of those sf 45 glocks. Until then, the lone G19 RTF2 in my collection is enough plastic for me...at least until the gen4 G19 or G23 is released.

I think that is a great Idea, if you can swing it.
