Let me say this: I bought my first Glock several months ago, a Gen 4 G35. My first impression is that it is very poorly and cheaply made. I am sure it runs ok, I am just of the school where I judge quality by an objects feel. I have never owned a 1911 but recently ordered one, I have never picked up a 1911 that appeared to be a POS. This is my opinion as to what I feel.
As for this poll there is only one answer, John Moses Browning was a genius of firearm design, The 1911 while not the only autoloading pistol of the period was and is the single most important pistol of the 20th century, to say nothing of the fact that it entered service 70 years before Glocks came about. The simple fact that today 1911's are more popular than ever with some 20 companies making them as fast as we can buy them. While the Glock has obviously had a huge effect on the market I believe it has more to do with marketing than the actual design.
