[QUOTE="J.P., post: 17955, member: 6"] Again,there is no gospel in this thread. Just opinion and nobody ever said that Glock is the law of the land. Jays opinion is formed from many many hours of IDPA and IPSC match shooting. I'd wager that he puts more rounds downrange in a week than most of this group does in a year. So,even though he's 16 years old,he still cannot deny what he sees regarding reliabilty of certain models. I just cannot see the logic in arguing with that. Are there 100% reliable 1911s?...No.....nothing is 100%....not Glock....not S&W....not SIG (well, maybe SIG ;) ) Are there 99% 1911s?.....Yes. On a whole,1911s are less reliable in the situations in which *we* encounter them. For whatever reason....shooter induced....bad modifications.....bad factory quality...bad ammo....etc....doesn't matter. By the same token,it is very rare to see any malfunctions with a Glock. Does it happen? Yes ,but at nowhere near the rate that it does with 1911s. Glocks also greatly outnumber 1911s so there is a greater chance of seeing a malfunction in one than in a 1911. If you wish to call that experience 'limited' then go ahead Now,please feel free to dissect my post with your 'trick of the day' quote and reply game. [/QUOTE]
