(except for Glock, still gate them) And yes, I am a 1911 snob too I guess, there is no denying that the over 100 year old design is one of the most time tested and battle proven pistol designs of all time, I think every serious shooter should have a John Moses Browning designed weapon in their arsenal. I cant have an M2 so I have to settle for a 1911! lol

Btw the accuracy and caliber reference was to the M9, not the Glocks. I know the Glocks come in several calibers, they even have their own (.45 GAP)
