The G17 is also the platform for the G18, the full auto pistol used by Israeli Forces, as well as other agencies. It is what it is. Romantically the 1911 will always rule. Functionally the Glock rules.

So why aren't there more Glock race guns than 2011's, based on the 1911, race guns in Limited and Open division USPSA? Some of these guys have mags that hold 28 rounds. I know there is the Glock team and I have seen some tricked out Glocks, a member here builds them, but never the less, so far I've seen far fewer of them at both comps then any other gun.
Not trying to pick a fight with you brother, just trying to understand.
I guess it really all boils down to personal preference. I've shot a Glock, didn't like it...not one bit. I will not buy a gun based on functionality, especially if it's FUGLY!
Enjoy your Glock, I'll enjoy my M&P and together we'll enjoy our 1911's
