I was born and raised a 1911 man since I was ten I have been around used and was told the 1911 pistol was the best and only sidearm fit for an American! When I talked my wife (who works in the legal profession ) to get a firstly we went to a gun show and spent a full two hours of her picking up guns and to my demise she selected a Glock 23! So we purchased her a Glock and we went to a gun range at the time I carried a Springfield 1911 btw and we shot 100 rounds each! Being that she is very new to firearm's in general we decided to take a beginners gun course! Our instructor carries glocks yes plural he carries a 19 and a 23 at all times! I shot a 23 while we took the course and ........ well fell in love! Now this was months ago since we have completed the beginners coarse and as soon as she has our son (she is 7 months pregnant) we are going to complete our intermediate coarse and the advanced as well! I have carried my Glock in a iwb m tac Minotaur EVERYWHERE that the law allows in ga in all conditions submerged in water while fishing thrown it over my shoulder in a gravel parking lot to show a Springfield guy why I chose Glock over an xdm! In its short life life span 1000 rounds more or less it has no signs of wear is deadly accurate and most importantly I feel 100% confident that any time I pull it and squeeze the trigger it will kill or destroy what ever I'm aiming at! With my 1911 I was a good shooter! After last weeks session with my instructor my second one overall he remarked that I could qualify with local law enforcement and most federal agencies that he has trained with!! I LOVE my Glock! It needed only two mods for me to be totally satisfied with it and for what my needs are for it! Trijicon night sights and a mag well plug! Cost of mods 120$ ! With my 1911 it needed trigger work sights ported and a new beavertail / hammer at a cost of 400+ ! My Glock 23 is the best gun purchase I have ever made I LOVE MY GLOCK! And to think I used to make fun if cops for eating too many doughnuts and carrying plastic guns! Ha ha
