My CCW gun since 1992, a G17, will be on its way back to GA in a month to get a new 3rd Gen frame. I have a crack in my 20-year-old 2nd gen frame. Anyway, my CCW gun while the G17 is away will be a 48-ounce M1911A1 Springfield Armory .45 ACP pistol loaded with 255-grain SWC hanloads loaded to 840 FPS!!! What an increase in weight on all accounts. From a 32-oz G17 to a 48-oz M111A1. The bullet weight will be increasing from 124gr to 255gr. Bullet velocity will be decreasing from 1300FPS down to 840FPS. I can do it for a few weeks, I suppose.

Quite a change, but that 1911 won't let you down.

I'll bet that the 1911 won't have a cracked frame after 20 years of carry and shooting.

Glock... perfection...

someone had to go there... (grin)

You'll probably have to get a drill holster from home depot to tote that heavy thing around Welcome to INGO!

1911

You may like carrying that 1911/45ACP so much, you may end up putting the Glock in the safe

Probably not, but you never know...

The 3rd generation grip sucks compared to the 2nd generation, IMO. I hope you like your gun when you get it back.

 

[oneshotonekill]

I'm telling ya, there is a reason everybody likes Glocks. I'd like to know what it takes to actually destroy one.

Anyway, you better tighten your belt another notch so that 1911 don't pull your drawers down!!!

Just ask any 'banger. He'll tell ya. Glocks are lighter so they can keep in the waistband of boxer shorts. And oh yeah***,you can shoot'em sideways!

You want to destroy a GLOCK just shoot LEAD bullets, the glock will destroy itself

Apparently, carrying it in a holster.

Gosh, I'd better go check my 1911s!! They are both from the early 40's, and SURELY must be merely piles of disconnected frame remnants.

Nope. Not one crack in either of them. Maybe it's because they spent the first few years of their lives being neglected in Europe that they are immune to cracks from being a mere "carry piece."

MAN that really hurt , I can't believe you would say something like that .

I think, never mind .................................................

O'really.... I'm calling BS here, that is a myth from all accounts I've ever seen. Have you personally seen it happen where the failure could 100% be attributed to use of lead bullets?

I used to be an officer of a gun-club that fired primarily lead reloads through club firearms. We would fire several k lead reloads through the Glocks every year, and up to 1k before cleanings. Never had a glock have any problems due to that.

We did have a 1911 kaboom once though... but that was unrelated to the bullets used...

where do you get your info? I have yet to see a single post from you that has any fact in it...Ive seen several post where you've mocked quit a few internet myths and you have posted them like they are pure fact. You'll get a bit more fouling with lead but that is true for anything you shoot lead from. You should learn to think for yourself a bit and stop acting like a parrot.

 

[jimbo-indy]

I have an all stainless 1911 on my belt right now. Don't even know it's there. What's all this complaining about weight? If it's not the 1911, it's a CZ97. Neither is uncomfortable when carried in a quality holster with a proper belt.
Must be the young generation. My 62 yr old body isn't bothered one bit.

 

[pig957]

Sounds like you need a back-up glock. I have serveral.

 

[gunman]

i'm young & relatively small, carry my 1911 religiously. weight has never been an issue so much so that i've forgotten to put it in the holster once and didn't notice for a few hours. felt like such an idiot
