Who Else Likes Both Glocks and 1911's?

[NikatKimber]

Have both, like both, want more of both.

Here's an interesting comparison:
1911 w/ 10rds 9mm

Glock 19 w/ 31rds 9mm AND weapon light

I carry and own Glocks but I appreciate the 1911.

First place will always be the 1911 followed by the HiPower. Now, what do I carry, the Glock 43 or my Kahr MK9 Elite.

How are the Kahr's? I've thought about adding one. They're a nice looking gun for the money, or at least the budget line they have that Cabelas usually stocks. The MK9 is the nicer one, right????

I like 'em both! I don't get it about why some people can only do one or the other. I don't have a problem switching back and forth carrying or shooting them either. Anybody else the same way?

Hey guys, new to the forum here. I'm from Moore, OK. Been a shooter most of my life and just started to dabble in hunting, just looking for a local pro-gun community to be apart of.

Anyways, I love them both. It's just a different kind of love of each for me! I don't tend to carry my 1911's, ever really, while I do carry my G19 everyday and shoot it weekly. But I can't say I love my 1911s any less! I definitely don't shoot my 1911's as much either, as I prefer to be more proficient with my daily carry.

While I do shoot it from time to time, my 1911s are more of an admiration kind of love. When I have some free time I'll bring it out, break it down, give it a good cleaning and just admire the hell out of it. It's like if I had a Ferrari in the garage but drove a Honda to work everyday.

The super short ones like the PM's have been known to have reliability issues (mostly feeding). All Kahrs benefit from extensive firing when new before relying on then for defense. 250-500 rounds is not too much. They're tight, which is one reason they have good accuracy. The CW series is budget, K, P, and PM are mid-range (Kahr still calls them premium) and T & MK series are top end. The sights are SUPER tight in the dovetails, so opt for night sights up front if you ever plan to have them. The triggers are the stand out feature for two reasons. They're long double action in feel, but light and incredibly smooth. Not Para Ordinance LDA light, but in the 5-7# range. The best direct comparison I can come up with is the Ruger LCR trigger, but it's even smoother and a touch lighter. Recoil springs are stiff due to the light slide weight and really stiff on the short ones, so consider that if hand or upper body strength is an issue. That's one reason I think people have issues with the PM & MK series guns (more on the PM side).

I've owned a couple and shot quite a few and like them. I think the P9 and TP9 are the best of the bunch as far as shooters you can carry well. They're just less bulky than anything else in their range.

I see more Glocks and 1911's malfunction than any other handgun available.

I've owned several finely tuned high end 1911's. But when Suarez started putting RMR'S on Glocks with cowitnessed irons, I switched. Never looked back. With fitted Barsto barrels, my Glocks are every bit as accurate as my 1911's, and more so because of the red dot.

I also carry a lot more 9mm ammo than I could with a 45. More bullets is better than big bullets, imo.

Well, there's more of them out there, so you see more of them period.
