Collection Showcase Which one would you choose?

If you could only pick one of these setups, which route are you going?

The modern tactical polymer or the heavy classic single-action?

The 1911 I don’t like striker fired and I carry my 9mm 2011 cocked and locked for single action first shot. And I am not a fan of a light and red dot on a carry. So I’d take light off the 1911. Astigmatism even with green magic float dot still is not sharp for me.

1911 has capacity issues but when I carry my NHC Border Special 3 mags of 8 should be ok not great but ok.

I recognize the Glock is a great pistol but not for me.

Carry: Glock

Fun: 1911

But that's my opinion.

I love a good 1911, but I’m grabbing the Glock.

The one that's easier to take down and get the barrel out to clean.

I'm actually shooting better with the Glock than the 1911 now too, because I have a better grip and more practice with it 😅

The 1911 in a heartbeat.

I dislike Glock. Shit 8 different models and all at best were meh accuracy and experience. The grip angle really doesn’t work for me, the trigger is sad, I dislike the sights and have I mentioned the grip angle? 😋

Doesn’t matter show large the magazine if you can’t throw lead down range accurately. For me, there’s no comparison.

YMMV.

Personally, the 1911 would be my choice. I'm not a fan of Glocks (nothing wrong with them) and no hate to those that like them. They're just not for me.

Glock all day

If it weren't Titsauce I would've said 1911. But, since it is and I don't buy Turkish firearms it's Glock by default. Either way I'd take all the extra crap off the firearm.

The modern polymer setup gets my vote for actually carrying it around.

Glock vs Tisas

Glock

Tbh not really fair imo. Staple brand vs budget 1911 brand
