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.

Uh oh, Joe ... you better enter some sort of witness protection for saying that!

I bought a Block once, it lasted about 6 months only because I really tried to like it, before I dumped it.

I do not own a Glock said Sam. I do not own one Sam I am.

I own a number of 1911's but my carry varies from a 1911 to normal EDC of P239 40 cal to Ruger 357 mag snubbie

G19, G21SF and a G30. Compare that to my Dan Wesson CCO and my Dan Wesson Patriot? Hmmmm.... which to carry.. .which to carry... Dan Wesson wins ... again. All this said, IF IF IF... I had to bug out fast and furious.... the G19 and 21 would be in the bug out bag. Why? simply this. They are reliable. Yes my Dan Wessons are reliable also. But the Glocks would come too. Just sayin'

OH... what do I carry? Dan Wesson CCO

I carry a G21 for the simple reason that if I am ever forced to use deadly force, I know that my weapon will most likely be taken as evidence for a period of time. Let'em take the tupperware gun, but leave my 1911 & Hi Power alone!!!

Someone point me to a story about a PD that found cracks in half of their 1911s, or half of their Sigs...

http://www.wdrb.com/story/29078319/b...-defects-found

Quote:
Dangerous defects were found on the guns that Bardstown Police Officers carry with them on a daily basis.

Hairline fractures appeared on 12 guns, which were immediately taken out of commission. That's nearly half of the weapons of the 27-man department and Captain Tom Roby says it's a serious concern.

“At one point the gun would actually fall apart,” said Cpt. Roby.

The issue was discovered on the Glock model 23s during recent training practices. Those guns were purchased back in 2000.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
