'cause Glocks owners start calling the 1911 guys old farts

Damn newfangled 1911's anyway - just use a Colt Walker; it will scare the crap out of the bad guys, and one shot makes a smoke screen to allow your escape



New ideas aren't automatically good, and old ideas aren't automatically bad. Vice versa applies, too Gaston figured out how to make a mint off a cheaper manufacturing method, and also did some creative marketing.

Mag capacity is good(sometimes critical), hitting what you aim at is crucial. No contest for me, I can make hits easier with a 1911 than a Glock. Yeah, I know - some people can shoot them just as well as a 1911. Especially after they modify the trigger. And then you'll have a carry gun with a 3 lb trigger, with no safety

This is a newer idea than a Glock:



although it has some old ideas, too. Shoots pretty well, too. But I still carry a 1911 more often.
