Is a 1911 Good for concealed carry?
If you find you run 1911 pistols better than anything, that makes it a good gun for you, and it’s what you should carry. A lot of people do, for those reasons.
Is carrying a 1911 cocked and locked safe?
Virtually all experts agree that for self-defense, the 1911 should be carried cocked and locked — that is, hammer back and thumb safety engaged with a round in the chamber and a full magazine. (If the hammer is not cocked, the safety on these single-action pistols will not engage; it is “locked off,” so to speak.)
Why you should carry a 1911?
It’s slim for its power level, an important dimension for both comfort and concealment. When properly built, it’s also remarkably accurate, and its trigger system and grip shape adapt well to a broad range of hand sizes. The 1911 is not seen as often in holsters as polymer-framed, striker-fired pistols.
Which is better a 1911 or a Glock 21?
When compared to the 1911, we zero in on the Glock 21, equal in its .45-caliber chambering, but superior in the number one can carry. With a polymer frame, interchangeable backstraps, and greater capacity, the striker-fired Glock 21 is equal to the challenge.
How much does a Glock weigh?
The overall weight is 24.9 ounces. Both the 1911 and Glock come in a handful of different calibers. However, each has chambered various rounds in their models over time. For the 1911, they are more compatible with rounds like the .22 round rifle. Other rounds include a 9mm Parabellum, 10mm auto, and a .38 super among many others.
Can a Glock shoot a 22 Long Rifle?
The Glock also is compatible with some of the various ammo that can be chambered with the 1911. More specifically, the .22 long rifle and the 10mm auto. However, other rounds that can be fired with a Glock include 40 S&W, .45GAP, and 9mm rounds, to name a few.
Are Glock pistols reliable?
Unlike the 1911, the Glock never had any reliability issues to speak of, due to the fact that it was made from one manufacturer. Plus, the designs have become more advanced over the span of a few decades. However, it’s not free and clear of all issues.
