Got my new Shooting Times today and guess what? A Springfield Enhanced Micro 1911 ownes the cover, and a Springfield 1911 of another persausion ownes the back cover!! When it's not a 1911 It'll be the Springfield X-D! We do know who has the most advertising dollars these days. What I'd like to see is a real endurance test pitting the 1911, the X-D and the Glock and maybe the H-K and a few others in a real world comparison. Not just what a bunch of pen jocky's want to tell us when their sallary is being paid by the same manufactures.
Why don't you get together a good sampling of comparable handguns, do your own test and review, and let us know your outcome? You probably own a sample of a couple of different makes already?
Many firearms are like debating what is better a ford, chevy, dodge, etc...Most end up being fairly equivalent quality with a manufacturer coming up with a new twist one year and to have other manufacturers copy it quickly.
