Thinking about the article in modern service weapons about the 1911 platform (and our 1911 romantics thread) and my last trip to the range. No matter how I confront it my Glock 19 is as good a shooter as my Kimber CDP Pro. And while thinking about buying another 1911 w/rail for home protection (I prefer .45) I was just offered ( I have it on hold) a Glock Gen3 21 for $349 which is a deal that is probably too good to refuse. While the Glock isn't near as pretty it will hold 5 more rounds of ammo, it's easier to maintain and won't cost me 400 rounds of ball ammo to break in.
Now I'm considering selling the Kimber CDP Pro, with holster I ought to be able to get a grand for it easy. I carry a lot in the backcountry on Fly fishing trips where the Kimber could and does get wet. The carbon steel bbl doesn't like this. It requires much more tender care and the idea of a Glock 30SF is sounding very appealing. Plus it will take the mags from my 21 in a pinch. I haven't decided yet, but while the 1911 is pretty and shoots great the tupperware is damn practical. And having one platform for all my main guns makes since, what think yee?
