This being said, comparing the Glock 19 and the Glock 17 and trying to find a “winner” from the two is difficult at best. I can numerically show from personal shooting experience with over a million rounds downrange in training and instructing that that an unaltered Glock is least likely to fail when put through the same courses as others. Untested is the key word here, after all, I have shot enough to see even Glocks fail. Obviously I would be an idiot to believe the 1911 was not influential and downright amazing however, I prefer hard reality and facts when looking to defend myself. (Authors note, I love shooting 1911s I simply prefer Glock/ S&W MP-Shields for defensive purposes…)įrom among individuals who actually run guns for combat around the world, you will be hard pressed to find anyone who if given the choice between an untested Glock and an untested 1911 or other brand/type will choose anything except the Glock. Even with the sheer amount of facts, statistics and raw data available several generations still believe the 1911 is the greatest gun on earth. We live at a fun time in history, at no other single point has so much knowledge been available to the average individual. It is my intent to enlighten with a different approach than you may have not seen before. This is one of those articles that is Extremely Difficult to write. It is not my intent to tell you that you are wrong if you choose differently than I.
