I think the 1911, depending on who made it, is a very reliable weapon. But, I think most of them are not as resilient to improper care as a Glock. They just need a bit more love.

As for the shooting of the Glock 19, I love mine. But, I really love ACP. I think I am getting almost as good with my 21 as I am with my 19. Die red circle.
