Once I thought it was a horrible cartridge, but I bought a Glock and my mind was changed. I blame the 1911 after getting the Glock for my distane of the 45acp. All good now! A bit slow, but still good for training my kids on shooting.

Agreed, the Glock is definitely for slow learners.

Who could ever learn with a 1911. Good for hammers when in a tight spot or just want to beat yourself senselessAgreed, the Glock is definitely for slow learners.

Bought my first and only .45 (albeit striker fire) XD45 well over 10-12 yrs ago.
Never gave much thought or impressed by the SF action but awed by the smoothness of the jumbo caliber.
Still today I find The 45 to be a quite a pleasant, trusty, and reliable delight that never fails.
The 45 will continue to keep and make shooting great again. The 45 is the idea candidate for protection, freedom and the American way.

Yeah, Glock is just great to give to those who can't master a real pistol. Sorta like the Can AM Spyder of motorcycles to the 1911s Harley.Who could ever learn with a 1911. Good for hammers when in a tight spot or just want to beat yourself senseless

I don't know if the 1911 crowd will ever catch up, but it's good to see they still rely on the .45 ACP.

While you guys bicker between a 1911 and a Glock, I like my Shield .45.

I think the 1911 is beautiful. I could easily see a hard chromed or beautifully blued 1911 on display in a modern art museum. In fact you could do a complete exhibit. A 100 Year Retrospective: The Art of the 1911.

Wasn't the 1911 I was talking about. If you read the post I was replying to, it said, this what YOU look like with a 1911. With a picture of some 80s guy and 80s phone. I was saying I really don't worry what I look like. I don't care If I look anachronistic. I care about the results of the tool
The 1911 is the best looking pistol I know of, IMO. Or CAN BE the best looking, in its military guise its utilitarian looking.

I must have misunderstood. I have always considered you a gentleman of impeccable taste.

Why thank you, the feeling is mutual.

Now, photoshop a Glock in the G.I.'s hand in the picture. Then, photoshop Tom Selleck, (Magnum P.I.) into a Prius. Same result.

I like mine too. It is however not my favorite .45.
