I'm not a Glock fanboy, but I have a G23c that I like a lot. I'm a slim guy and it carries well in my Crossbreed Supertuck.

I dont mean to stir the pot or get anyone angry, but you asked for opinions. I would not carry a Glock if you gave it to me. I am past law enforcement, now a Firefighter. I have seen one Glock slide come off its frame while being fired and the local police department here recalled all Glocks from there officers after having 2 trigger assemblies come apart during qualifying. For concealment I would recommend the Ruger SP101, 5 shot 357 revolver. Less to think about in a bad situation, just aim and pull trigger.

I'm putting a vote for other. I love my Sig 239 for CCW. If you are in the market for a full size gun, they have that as well. Love all the Sigs I have ever fired.

:tpd: For a full size auto, I agree. Sig makes one awesome gun.

Guns are just like cigars. Each will feel right in a different persons hand. I know a lot of the 1911 issues are ammo related. Once you start tightening up the tolerances on that platform for better accuracy it gets to be a very picky eater in my opinion. I love my Sig 226 as much as my colt commander. Got an 4in XD in 9mm about 6 months ago. I have a glock 19 I am waiting to get the grip reduced on. Depending on what I am doing and wearing will really play a huge part in which tool I grab. The most important part is find one you like to shoot and that fits well. Then get a good belt and holster and start shooting.

I was taking a pistol class and all the instructors were using Glock 21s. They gave me and the two other guys with 1911s crap about them joking around about their unreliability. Three guns had a malfunction that day. None were a 1911. ;) And I was running hollow points through mine cause that's all the ammo I had at the time.

But truthfully, my under the pillow gun is my Glock 23. Has thousands of rounds through it and has never had a hiccup.

My .02

It depends on what kind of 1911 though.....If it was a cheapie...might be the reason. Also did said guns FTF before 500 rounds? Gotta break them in.

IMO the sights on a 1911 shoot truer and have (to me at least) proven to be more accurate then any other gun I've shot. I've probably shot somewhere around ~20 different handguns.

I know I don't get a lot of people who agree with me but I continue to vote support for the HK P2000. Ive carried it for a year and a half now for work and have over 5k rounds through it and have had maybe 2 hickups at the range.
