What's wrong with Glocks?

[teal325]

I have shot Glocks and the various 1911 pistols. I am by no means a pistol shooter or a pistol nut but for me the 1911 fills my hand perfectly and was a ton easier to shoot accurately.

I can shoot a Glock to a very acceptable level of accuracy (scored 248 out of 250 on the TX CCW course of fire having never shot a 9mm or a Glock before in my life - was a loaner gun).

For me I like the 1911, it fits my hand, easy to shoot acurately, and they are neat, ie easily personalized.

I would own a Glock but prob not as my primary CCW.

My personal beef:

1. Doesn't fit my hand all that well.

2. Can not seem to shoot it as well as a 1911. (that may just take time)

3. Lack of the external safety - Sure I know how it works but what if my wife picks it up and isn't familiar? We all like to think that type of stuff never could or doesn't happen but it DOES and the person it happens to always says "... I can't believe I did that..."
