[QUOTE="english kanigit, post: 806051, member: 4701"] To quote what I said someplace else... Why I chose a G19 over my beloved and trusted 1911: Ammo- Right now ammo prices are high and .45acp is just stupid high... assuming of course that you can find it. It is possible to find 9mm almost anywhere in the little rat-hole towns I frequent. Weapon mounted light- The G19 and Surefire x300 go together like PB&J especially with a Raven Concealment holster. Most of the time I'm on the move it's dark and bad people tend to do bad things when it's dark. Reliability- My 1911 never failed to work... but then again I didn't treat it like a lawn mower. I came to the conclusion that if I needed the gun I was likely to be very tired after multiple 100+ hour work weeks and it would be dark. My transient work life has me on the road with lots of seedier folks so the possibility for multiple assailants is higher than usual. Having 15+1 chances to save my ass seems like a good idea to me. The gun's only mods have been a Vickers mag release and 10-8 night sights. The only other thing needed is a buttload of ammo for practice and play. Ek [/QUOTE]
