Glocks are "better" than 1911's. That is what one of my co-workers believes because he sees the "torture tests" and only a glock could handle it. He also thinks that the only round you should ever need is the .45 ACP. I have discussed that some people can not shoot a .45 well, and a 9 mm or .40 would be a better choice, but he knows all and can not be wrong.
No marine would be caught dead using a pistol. I know for a fact that is not the case as a friend of mine was on a house clearing detail in Iraq a few years ago. He got into a situation where it was easier to drop the M4 and transition to the pistol due to the tight quarters. He also did not buy into the myth that the 9 mm is not a man-stopper, he used well placed shots to stop the bad guys (head shots and belt buckle shots work well).
