Let the discussion begin.

Recently (within the last year I believe) 3 NYC cops shot a guy who had just killed someone, they also hit several bystanders, if they would have had 1911s they wouldn't have missed.

Surely it has nothing to do with NY mandating their sigs being dao, and glocks having much heavier connectors to increase trigger pull weight.

Also when you modify a gun from the original specs it can effect reliability.

They have a standard 12 lb trigger pull.

Man, glock fans get more bent than 1911 guys when one messes up.

Do y'all remember the DEA agent that shot himself in the leg with his Glock foety? He definitely needed a 1911. It certainly would have jammed, saving him from injury.

I disagree, if he was dumb enough to do it with a glock he still would have found a way with a 1911.

Officer Clark (HPD) was killed by robbery suspects when his 1911 jammed. I think I that was in 2003. A lot of officers gave up the 1911s after that and switched to Sig and Glock. I know that any gun could have jammed...but it seemed that every year at annual qualifications the 1911 guys were raising their hands and having to get extra time after they cleared the jams. Seemed like you had to buy a 1911 and then spend another grand to get it "nice" so it fed properly. I'm sure there are a million stories to contradict this one, but this one was personal. He was shot down like a dog and executed while trying to get his Colt to operate.

RIP Officer Clark

And to make that story even more infuriating "In 2013 the subject who murdered Officer Clark was granted a new trial and then released on a technicality." So either the guy did it and got off, or the real killer never got caught
