Apples and Oranges. Boo Hoo.

Why would you want it to be? If you want a 1911? If you want cheerios you dont buy sugar pops. I have some of both varieties. Stock Glock triggers leave a lot to be desired. Gary does good Work on mine. I like them.

On the other hand, when i shot on the Army pistol team, the first thing we did when we got a 1911 in the arms room was a trigger job. When i was in a regular Army unit, i thought the stock trigger heavy, rough and traveled more than i like. We just didnt want them at competition condition in a combat unit. Someone would have shot themselves in the leg or worse at 2.5#. Todays 1911 in the DW, Wilson, etc have already had their triggger jobs, just look at the price tag.

I have a 1911 on the column of my truck. When I go to the woods, a G19/17, and concealed, a kahr pm9. All three have their pros and cons.

Botttom line, in most cases, my s shoot as good if not better than my 1911 and even with a tuneup cost less than a wilson, NHC, etc.

YMMV.

I don't want it to be, nor would I make claims it could happen. Cause it cannot. A Glock, like the original 1911, is nothing more than a combat handgun. Meant to be more reliable than target accurate. 1911's came up to a higher level of accuracy, due to, of course, accurizing. Glocks do not and never will have the ability to be as accurate as a properly tuned 1911. Never. If anyone thinks they can I will ask why 1911's constistantly win at Pendleton and Quantico.....
And by they way, I own over forty Glocks, mostly 17's, going back to Gen1's. I am Pro-Glock for a SD pistol, carrying a G17 customized by Lane at Cold Bore Customs right now. As good as it point shoots I have stock 1911's that are WAY more accurate, especially after the thirty yard marker.
I am very happy that this conversation is happening now. My plan for the last two weeks was to ask Gary to "have his way" with a stock G17. Much as I know about the pistols I always maintain that somebody always knows more, can do more. Gary's posts say that he is that person, and I have faith he is. Now I just hafta feel the difference fer myself.
