In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves tackles the Glock vs. 1911 question. This isn't the first time or the last time that a "Glock or 1911" video has been or is going to be on YouTube, but it's definitely the best time. This video features renowned instructor and 1911 guru Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch. But more importantly, James' mom, Connie, shoots a Glock and a 1911 for the first time ever, side by side, and gives her opinion of which option is the best. The Glock versus the 1911 from the perspective of a veteran with decades of experience and from the viewpoint of a new shooter, today on TFBTV.
Which is best? That depends on You. I like the 1911. The lack of a safety on the Glock is a problem to me.
ReplyDeleteDecent video, I'll stick with 1911. My view ... guns are like boots, wear what fits you.
ReplyDelete1911’s are like a sports car.
ReplyDeleteA Glock is like a Toyota that doesn’t care how badly you treat it.
I carry the Glock 40, have recently purchased the RIA 2011 in 10 MM 5 & 6 inch barrel models. Also have now acquired a Kimber Rapide in 10MM. Other then the weigh factor they all shoot equally well and like the Jeremy R stated, no safety on the Glock. So you always have to keep that in mind carrying the Glock. I’d say carry what your able to shoot the best, especially in this day and age.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 range guns. A Colt 1911 Government in 9mm and a Glock 17 9mm. I shoot them equally well two handed but I am slightly better with the 1911 one handed. My carry is either a Glock 22 10mm, a S&W 65-2, or a NAA 22WMR.
ReplyDeleteI don't but plastic firearms.
