[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1884806, member: 113501"] I like 1911s but I don't know about using one as a backup for bear. The 8 round magazine leaves a bit to be desired. The barrel link, barrel lugs, slide release cut out in the frame, any Series 80 stuff and collet style barrel bushings are all known failure points that get worse when you step up to 10mm or another high power chambering. On the other hand, Glocks are a bit infamous for tolerating a lot of abuse. The barrel hood is the barrel lug and they are a big chunk of steel that is not likely to fail. There is no barrel bushing to fail, instead of a barrel link it uses a steel ramp on an insert and while the trigger isn't the greatest, there is no firing pin block, grip safety or thumb safety to slow you down or fail. I would rather rely on a Glock and a 21 with a 10mm conversion barrel has an even stronger barrel than a Glock 20. It should be a much cheaper option too. [/QUOTE]
