I have never seen a Glock locked up like that.
Have you seen 'em blown up?
Simple = reliable - get a Kahr...
That said, I own a few 1911s and like them. But they're not for people who know zip about handguns.. But my day-to-day carry guns are Kahrs - simply because they work and work well, every time I pull the trigger..
Only reason I carry the Ruger SR9c at times is because it has a 17 round capacity AND I'm somewhere around/near/in Murderapolis..
