Hey vic,

I have several Glocks and have grown to like the platform. Took me a summer to learn how to shoot them but find them comfortable and accurate. If I had my wishes, I'd use a Glock 21 with aftermarket barrel. I like the platform and capacity of Glocks.

I had a couple 1911s and love them. I would like a bit more magazine capacity than the 1911 offers. For reference, I carry my Glock 20 alot. Each magazine holds 15 rounds. I dont feel undergunned with a single magazine but almost always carry 2 riding in an HPG chest rig. The Glock 21 holds 13. My RIA held 7-8 as I recall.

Spray and pray is not a viable strategy but I shoot the Glock fairly accurate at a rapid pace. I wasn't as accurate with my RIAs in quick fire mode. Slow, rested or offhand, the RIAs were accurate enough for me - but when I began moving around and mimicking situations I thought might develop in the woods, the Glock is a bit more accurate, and it carries more rounds.

Long-winded way of saying, I'd use a Glock if safe and feasible.


Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
