Yet another revolver guy checking in with an opinion.
I agree with ClickClickD'oh on the Filipino 1911s. Don't discount them just because they don't cost $1000. Many people here, myself included, have had wonderful experiences with those guns. Mine's an RIA, and it's been a fantastically flawless gun. You don't have to spend a ton of money these days to get a good 1911.
Regarding the Glocks; I've always disliked them. They're just ugly to me. I don't own one.
Unfortunately, they're also probably the closest thing in the semi world that you're going to find to a revolver's reliability (I know, that's a hot topic). Discount the bland aesthetics, though, and they are ridiculously good guns.
(It's never easy for a revolver guy to admit that ... so, give me a moment.)
If you have access to a range with a wide variety of rentals, take advantage of that. Try anything and everything you can get your hands on. If it feels good in your hand initially, take it out and shoot it. Or, do like I'm doing now; make a list of everything you think you want to shoot, and check one or two off every time you go. You never know what you might end up liking. Your Glock experience has already taught you that.
Enjoy your hunt, and be sure to let us know (with pictures) when you finally decide to buy.
