[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1266035, member: 87243"] I started on a browning high power 9mm when I was 13, started shooting my dad's first gen glock 10mm, and liked both. I turned 21 and bought a 1911 45 acp for carry. Nice gun, very accurate, easy to shoot well, but how can I say this without upsetting people.... It's not glock reliable. Everyone I know that has or has had a 1911 says they can be ammo picky or mag picky. I don't like that. So when I carry my 1911, it's loaded with 230 grain ball ammo in a wilson combat mag. It has never failed with that combo. But I must say...I don't really carry it. I personally have a glock 42, a glock 22, and a glock 27, as well as my service glock 22, and in well over 10,000 rounds of those combined, have NEVER had a failure that wasn't the fault of cheap/poorly manufactured ammunition. But, glocks do have a downside in my mind.... They don't have a 1911 trigger. But, on my personal guns I put aftermarket disconnects and do some minor hand polishing work, and it makes them good enough to do some serious work. And I know glocks are accurate, I have watched my dad print 6" groups at 100 yards with his gen1 10mm and handloaded 165 xtp's. You will like it, they are awesome guns. I would recommend some trigger work, but they don't need much else in my opinion. I'm currently in the process of putting together a g34 open gun to play with in USPSA. I'm stocked for when I finally have to funds to finish getting it put together, it will be fun. [/QUOTE]
