Some background info regarding my question was due to dinner discussion with a friend who stated that his $500 Glock is more reliable than 1911's.
The only weakness is incredibly stupid statements such as that.
It could be someone's life work to describe the variations in quality and design across a myriad of manufacturers to describe the '1911'. Folks ignorantly cram the good and the bad, the compact and the full size, the cheap and the expensive, and all manufacturers into one pattern that to them is somehow a "1911". It's as if we could take every polymer pistol ever made anywhere and call it a "17".
Then I could ask without any remote reference to Glock, "What's more reliable, a Colt XSE or a 17?"
