1911 or Glock?
So, be honest. Who owns 1911s but uses a Glock for EDC?
Which model? Am I bad?!

Yes, own/carry a 1911 ... do not own a Glock.

Of the two I carry the 1911 but having just bought a new G19, once I take it to the range a few times, it will be carried as well. I mean, it's a Glock for crying out loud - simple and reliable. Sure, I love the 1911 but a Glock is a damn fine gun. Haters are going to hate

Glock is my department issued weapon. I carry that everywhere off duty unless it's out of state. Then I carry my personal Glock which is the same model as my issued one. Occasionally I wear sweats when I go work out. In those instances I'll put my .38 in a pocket holster.
When I retire I'll re-think my carry options.

We had Glocks as issue weapons. There were instances when slides flew off during training, coatings peeling off due to certain solvents being used which caused malfunctions. Glock came down and replaced the pistols immediately (great customer service) and in so many words asked that we refrain from "getting the word out" about the issues. I'm glad that the flying slides etc., happened during training and not in an actual situation. I've never had an issue with the 1911 platform, or even the Ruger P90 which is ugly, but works reliably. I personally am not a fan of the (plastic piece of sh!t) Glock
 . I know the majority of police departments are equipped with Glocks, but that's because Glock made a deal swapping out the old department weapons one for one, basically for free. With the budget constraints the police departments had, they jumped on the deal, not because they were the better gun, but because they were free.

I carry a G17 daily. Two spare mags. Gives me, with one extended mag, fifty four rounds on board. My rounds are either Winchester Ranger T's or Federal HST, both in 147 grain. I have ran this G17 over 100K rounds, never replaced even one spring, and the barrel is not shot out. The G17 is rarely cleaned. Much as I love 1911's, they just cannot do what a G17 can.
