But will it use Glock mags?
Taking it down isn't half as bad as putting it back together.
No.The funny thing is that the 2 handguns I shoot most are Glock and 1911s. The Glock is the Honda accord. Decent performing, ridiculously reliable, eminently hot rodable.
The 1911 is the finicky european sports car. Sexy, a bit outdated in how its built, but amazing.
No.
The 1911 is the American muscle car: big bore, loud, crude, and effective.
You might need to know how to tune a carburetor to get the best performance out of it, but it will run just fine as it ships, stock.
Yes, and just like the traditional muscle car the 1911 is outperformed by just about anything modern but costs twice as muchNo.

Ha. Yes. 16.0 sec in the quarter was a big deal. To get much faster you had to special order a car with rare and sometimes expensive options like a 6 pack and 4.11 gears with a 4 speed manual.
The typical muscle car with a powerglide and 3.73 rear end was lucky to break 16 seconds. (There is a famous GTO review done by road and track. It was a ringer built specifically for the test. Even then, it turned 14.5 in the quarter. Fast. But because of its 4.11 gears, its top speed was 115 mph)
I'm 50ish. I like to say that I grew up in the doldrums when it came to cars and women's clothes. The 80s were the era of 225 hp corvettes and Benetton sweaters. Now we have 700 hp corvettes and crop tops. Oh to combine today's crop tops with the early 2000s hip huggers. But I digress.
One last thing. Remember that back then it was SOP for the manufacturer to send specially tuned "ringers" to the car mags for testing. This is a well documented fact. Google is loaded with info on this.
Ok. another last thing. We live in an era of 300 hp honda civics. There has never been a better time to be a car enthusiast. Even if you are nostalgic and a purist, $60k gets you an Ariel Atom, a 1300 lb street legal race car with lots of engine options. Including 400 hp turbo 4 cylinders from Honda or GM.
Revolvers being more reliable became obsolete with the introduction of modern era pistols like the Glock, Sigs, etc.Why does everyone forget REVOLVERS...?!

A close friend of mine has Ruger Alaskan that went inop after probably less than a hundred rounds being fired through it during his life span most of it not even 454 Casull.... it lights tried to couple of times and now the thing has a hitch in its giddy up when you pull the trigger something is definitely wrong with the thing.... off to the factory it goes..... not all revolvers at this way obviously but people who think that they're more reliable are really just deluding themselves. The lockwork inside a revolver is ridiculously complicated in the sense that if something is just a little bit out of whack, then the whole thing is going to stop working.... also heaven help you if you get a little bit of sand or something inside the lock work somehow......Revolvers being more reliable became obsolete with the introduction of modern era pistols like the Glock, Sigs, etc.
I have had a hammer pivot stud on a 686 break, and at another time, a trigger pivot stud. On another occasion, I saw a competitors S&W 625 jam up to the point where she could not even open the cylinder. I helped her disassemble it (properly, no prying of the sideplate) and found a broken part in the mag release mechanism. In all cases, these were "hard failures" that could not be cleared in the field and rendered the revolver complete inoperational. All required a trip to the factory for repair.
Ha ha. I had a 78 Dodge Magnum. It had a 318 V8 with maybe 140 HP. They hadn't quite figured out the whole emissions/efficiency/power thing yet. Mine had "Electronic Lean Burn". I miss that car. I wish I had it now, and would put some good tires on it, a carb, and a cam, and rip out all the emissions crap. That thing rode so nice!
Oh, and let's not forget Guess! jeans. The only thing that made high school tolerable. Oh, and Top Gun and Kawasaki Ninjas.
Discussion over here: Best MA-compliant Government Frame 1911?You must be a young guy. We are now in the golden age of 1911s. Prior to that (~2000), you had pretty much 2 brands. Colt and all the other crap.
All needed some attention to be truly reliable compared to modern guns. The Glock I purchased in 2000 ran for 30,000 rounds with nothing more than 2 replacement recoil spring assemblies and one extractor. (time to change 3 minutes).
I like the muscle car analogy though.

There is a reason my trusty gen2 is my HD gun. In the middle of the night I don’t have to worry about it. With a Recover Tactical rail, TLR 8 and pre-ban drop free’s what could possibly be better? Nuttin’ honey.
A gen 5. But that's still very nice.
In all seriousness. The TLR7/8 are terrible lights. Its impossible to trigger it without significantly shifting your grip. Look at where the button is. Now look at where the switch is on a TLR1. The TLR7/8 is an ergonomic disaster. Unless you have the hands of an NBA player. I wear XL size gloves and still can't reach.
