As already mentioned in this LONG thread, the 1911 is a "Design" there so many people making them and with that they are bound to have problems. Even the high end makers let one slip through QC once in a blue moon but when you get one that is built right, there is no other handgun on this earth more satisfying to me. Some of These guns cost more because of the hand fitting, intensive labor and attention to detail involved, to me they are worth every cent, to others they are not.
Glocks are only made by Glock, I own 3 and like them Very much perhaps when they have proven themselves for a Hundred years, several other manufacturers will make their own version and the platform will suffer from this. Smith and Wesson has already done this and their first version of the Sigma is a total POS compared to the Glock
