I think there are some posters here that worked for triple canopy. Maybe they can chime in, and let us know whats up.

Watched it and can't argue with anything he said. The shirt is hideous though.

I do love my Kimber, but if given the choice between the 2 in a jam, I would grab the Glock. I have multiple Glocks and I have more 1911s on my list. I also love revolvers. I am like the president, all about diversity.

At the end of the day, Team Glock all the way.

I'm sorry but this dude lost all credibility with that shirt and his statement about there are fewer 1911s that do work than Glocks that don't.
I"ve had a 1911 (sold it) and I have a Glock. There is no way I would say that I'd rather have the Glock over a 1911.

Im surprised yall made it through the entire video. I only made it like a minute when he started throwing out his credentials and insults.

FWIW, I love a nice 1911, but I wouldnt trade my Glock 19 or 17 for one.

That's basically my thoughts as well. I love a smooth shooting 1911, but when the SHTF I'll stick with my glocks.

And when I hit the powerball/megamillions you can guarantee Ill have a freakin nighthawk 1911 strapped to my hip in some sharkskin $500 leather holster for when I boil crawfish or bbq.

If they're good enough for them, they're good enough for me.

I will agree that if the Zombie wars come, I'm going with the Glock. Better yet, if I'm grabbing a revolver.

But, the 1911 is art. A work of fricking art.

I am not doubting this at all.

Kinda like having one of these as a daily driver.



Certainly a work of art, but don't want to have it for every day use.

I would bet that 1911s have been in more battles than any other side arm in history.

Well I just watched this.

I like somebody who stirs the shite. That said, 1911's SUCK is quite a stretch. They're not for everybody, but neither are Glock's. Glock's don't fit my hand worth a shite and I can't shoot them very well. Probably not the best choice for me.

Depends on your definition of "battle", but probably so. Again, I am not knocking the 1911 at all, but I give Glocks a slight nod if I were in a bind. Hell, I give em the nod based on mag capacity alone, much less reliability.
