This is a fun test. I'm biased being a Glock owner since the 1980's.
I've also carried a 1911 in the US Army.
Both pistols are impressive.

Confession? I've never fired a Glock. I have fired a .45 (WWII Terminology) many times. This pistol feels like it belongs in your hand. This explains why a 100+ year old design still is popular.
I want a genuine US Government .45. They're getting REALLY expensive these days.

I'm actually partial to Berettas and Kimbers. I don't plan on having to throw my guns off the roof of any buildings anytime soon.
I have a Beretta 92fs, Beretta APX 9mm, and a Beretta Pico .380. I like their pistols.
colt 1911 is still probably the best unless you get a custom, brother has one and it's slickYou can get a Turkish 1911 for $380.

I used to have a 92FS and loved it. Currently have an 84FS and a Kimber UCII .45. The .45 is a little bit of a handful with the 3" barrel...I'm actually partial to Berettas and Kimbers. I don't plan on having to throw my guns off the roof of any buildings anytime soon.

Most accurate pistol (non rimfire) I've ever fired out of the box is my old CZ-75. At 25 yards it groups into a single hole. Simply amazing.Glock for reliability and magazine capacity, 1911 for accuracy. The most accurate 9mm I ever owned was a Star Model B. It was identical to a 1911 but had no grip safety.
I have the Pico for deep concealed carry. My 92 is a Reid Knight SEAL Hush Puppy with matching serial # snap on suppressor. Never have had the APX.I have a Beretta 92fs, Beretta APX 9mm, and a Beretta Pico .380. I like their pistols.
how so? glock has no parts to break if you install a NY1, it's loose to the point mud and sand don't jam it up and it's super simple internally, parts are also reasonable to replace and easy to replaceUhhhh, yeah. In 100 years the 1911 will still be functional. The Glock won't.
Plastic frame is constantly degrading thanks to UV radiation. In 60 to 70 years they will begin to delaminate.how so? glock has no parts to break if you install a NY1, it's loose to the point mud and sand don't jam it up and it's super simple internally, parts are also reasonable to replace and easy to replace
why are cops not using 1911's?
the slides unless they have 100K rounds still function and you can always buy another lower and replace it in 10 minutes or lessPlastic frame is constantly degrading thanks to UV radiation. In 60 to 70 years they will begin to delaminate.
I've seen plenty of police turn in that are pretty close to their "due by" date after only 20 years.
Sitting in the holster, on your hip they are in direct sunlight.the slides unless they have 100K rounds still function and you can always buy another lower and replace it in 10 minutes or less
nylon filled polymer will last for a very long time
I have not read anything about the frames just degrading, 99% are in a holster, not laying out on a dashboard with the sun beating on them
