No handgun feels better to shoot than a 1911.

I like how they feel, look, etc. but I have owned some nice ones and they just don't run like a Glock. I guess after owning a $4000 jam-o-matic (Tactical Supergrade from Wilson, as well as a Les Baer TRS--both sucked in the reliability department even when clean, well and correctly lubed, and on the square range. No dirt or running dry needed. They failed when pretty.), you become a bit anti-1911.

Give me my tupperware.

I may not carry one everyday but I will always have one in the stable.

I am with you on the Glocks, though. Big fan. My primary carry is a G26 at the moment. I need something a little bigger (probably the G19) and something a little smaller and I'll have a nice trio of carry guns.

I carry a 4.5" Springfield XDm .40 with a IWB Minotaur holster. Full size gun and still I forget I have it on. The holster makes all the difference in the world. Sits perfectly at 5 o'clock. If I am not at work it is on me... Love Florida! Glad to see all the people who carry! Occasionally I'll carry my glock 23 when I need something more concealable. But that is rare. About to pickup the new XDm 3.8 compact in .40.

dAvenue, props to you on your fantastic taste in firearms! What color?

When you want reliability out of a 1911, you want a GI spec not a super accurate and therefore super tight, Wilson or Les Baer. They are race horses and for every day you want more of a pack horse.

Glocks are great and I do not recommend you change weapons.

Re: tupperware. Mine came in the same but now Glock gives you a lockable box.

yeah pretty much this.

I shoot XDs personally since the glock doesn't really fit my hand, but my GI spec 1911 has been flawless in operation. Not a single failure to feed.
