Grampaw Willie, SASS No.26996 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 ok, this is it: Shootout: Glock 17 Handgun vs.1911A1 (Which Is Better)? dissing the glock will get me kicked outta Toostone for ten days but to * with it.

Trigger Mike Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hmmm. I really like Sig but I have never tried HK. I do think the 1911 cooks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 It’s obvious there is bias in whoever created those photos. Grampaw Willie, Why would bad-mouthing Glocks get you in trouble? People just gave their opinions. The link you provided is a form of blogger “click bait”. There was no “test”, only words. From the “article”: There is a temptation to directly compare the 1911 and Glock handguns, but the two really are a form of apples and oranges. As for the photos... It has always baffled me why people feel the need to pee all over another person’s choices when it doesn’t match their own. Another thing that has always baffled me is how some folks like to come off as rugged individualists yet all do the same things, say the same things and in some cases, all dress the same. Harley riders come to mind here. It’s odd to me. Sure, I love to bust someone’s chops all in good fun regarding Glocks, S&W’s, Japanese motorcycles vs whatever, but it’s all in good fun.

Charlie Plasters, SASS#60943 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 It's OK Pat. I took it to be in good fun. Now based on the picture, whilst I have always been a brunette admirer, I think I would like to try the hk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as I don't think they are dangerous or inappropriate, I try not to be critical of someone's firearms choices. The same can be said for motorcycles and other motor vehicles. If someone asks my opinion directly, and I believe mine is somewhat informed, I will offer it. With friends, so long as someone knows it is in good fun, then no harm, no foul I actually did a review on another forum regarding the HK VP9SK about a week and a half ago. I didn't post here because I didn't think it would be quite so relevant.https://www.firearmstalk.com/threads/first-impression-hk-vp9sk.128594/ I hope to get out in the next few days to do the follow up I mention. I would add a 1911 to the mix, but mine is a Series 70 Gold Cup, so it would certainly be an apples to oranges comparison. Perhaps if I borrowed my brother's.

I should add, that although I would like to try the hk, the gal in the 1911 picture is probably the only one who would be interested in me.

Trigger Mike Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 oddly my wife said she resembles the glock (all covered up etc) but said I am more of an HK kind of fellow. I told her I don't even own an HK but thought she was a Sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grampaw Willie, SASS No.26996 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 There's something special about a 1911. You know it, when you pick one up. ain't nothin' else like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 My opinion is that they are all fine handguns. I just prefer the really ugly ones. Bonus - I have my name on a list at my LGS for a Ruger 9mm PC Carbine. It’ll take Glock mags as well as Ruger SR9 / Security 9 and Ruger American pistol mags. I don’t own any of the Rugers.

You will enjoy the Ruger PC Carbine. I had access to one and it jammed at first so it was sent back to Ruger on Monday and was retuned by Friday running like a race car. they replaced the extractor and barrel. i know a fellow that put a nylon ammo pouch on the sling near the stock to hold a spare magazine.

Pat Riot Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I think the Marshal is on to something... Here’s an interesting article that I thought was interesting about .45 ACP and 9mm in regards to the Army switching from 1911’s to M9s years ago. The obviously staged WW2 photo is entertaining... https://www.wearethemighty.com/gear-tech/9x19mm-round-doesnt-suck/amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
