RE: Which 1911?
Nope, you're not looking for a 1911.
I have always hated Glocks. Hated them. They have always felt horrible in my hand, and they still do. I think their grip angle is the worst in the industry. However I admit that I am about to purchase a 26 as my deep concealment piece for Summer weather. The are supremely reliable. They are just great guns.
I like the XDs a lot, and even more so that they have a safety on them. But as fat as the Glocks are, the XD's are even fatter.
I think two some questions you need to ask yourself, before you decide on a firearm, are:
- What am I going to use this for (self defense, home defense, range work, combination)
- am I going to carry this firearm?
