I have never learned to appreciate striker or double action fired handguns. I am spoiled and have enough problems with old eyes and progressive lenses without making it any more complicated. I have nothing against light weight 1911 frames nor 1911 style plastic frames, in fact falling in love with my Wilson Combat Spec-Ops 9. Never owned or fired a Glock but respect their reputation for being work horse weapons.

Howdy Pard's
Lets all talk what is real in the world.. That's right we might love 1911's, we might love wheel guns, we might love Glock's or M&P's but we are not being real. We carry a gun or at least I do for protection. Not because I want to carry an extra 1.5-X Lbs on my side. I carry because I sometimes work in very bad areas and carry a lot of very expensive equipment I carry because I will defend my family to the end (day or night). So some one asked me yesterday, why I carry in the day time and just today in a very good are of Palm Beach there was an armed robbery attempt at a shopping center and I rest my case (day or night, good area or bad) things happen to good people. Yep, I build Custom Glock's for competition and carry. Yep, I shoot 1911's and 2011's all the time...But if I am not with a wheel gun (now the new Ruger LCR9mm) I am carrying a Glock, We must Remember, that if you have to use it, and some day you might, you want in my mind two things, a gun that will go BANG every time and a gun that you can GIVE UP to the Authorities for at lest 6 months and not worry that you will get it back some day in the same condition that you gave it up. Yep, we all say 1911 only thing to carry until you have to give up your $1K + prized 1911 and not know if or when it will be returned. Giving up a $500+ or - gun as we might not like it is a lot easier to do. So if it is not Sunday and you are out back making Lunch or Dinner and what to show off your BEAUTIFUL 1911 and Rig or you are not in a competition I would opt for the Plastic gun that goes Bang! Well that is my $0.02 and my story and I am sticking to it
