This Glock 19 might win over the die-hard 1911 types

For the uninitiated, Battlecock is one of the best "plastic surgeons" there is.  He consistently cranks out amazing Glocks (and others), all modified by hand.

It is kinda fugly.

Well you had me at “Wanna see my Glock?”.

It looks like it’s been in a war

Not hardly, Bubba.

That thing is ugly and I would take it in a heartbeat.  It has “character”. 

[Quavodus]

It has got a different look. Don't even really look like a Glock anymore.

I can ONLY speak for myself, but I would take it. However, NO 9mm would ever replace a 1911 .45 in my book.

I actually like the look for some reason. 

I'll see myself out.

I say this as a 1911 fan with more than a few of them:  There's no good replacement for low round count and slow, heavy rounds except for maybe a slingshot.

TGO David. Do you conceal carry your 1911 all the time? Me, I am a 7 shot revolver guy with MP 9C 15 shot as back up. The 1911 seem large to me, although I admit I have never tried to carry one in the past and just gave my only 1911 away to grandson.

Oddly enough...I think I like it. Gives the Glock a certain panache that improves it's looks. LOL!

Although not really a fan of the "battleworn" appearance of many manufactured items, this does work. Has a realism to it that makes it work.

Nice!  Wish my Glock-45 looked like that!  know most don’t like these kinds of finishes, but I do.  I have 2 Sigs with what they call distressed stainless steel finish that I love.  One is a 1911 We The People and the other is a P-365XL  Spectre.

Probably a very expensive Bubba job, but still a Bubba ...

It’s a Glock.  What else do you need to know.  You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.

I don't carry a 1911 anymore.  If I am carrying something like that, it is a 9mm 2011 and definitely concealed.

Got to love utilitarian simplicity.

While I am not a big Glock fan, I do respect their reliability.  I have a couple in my collection (19 & 20) but don't care for how they look.

All that said..... I DO like the looks of this.  Good stuff.

Just like this Glock made Bubba feel special, that lipsticked up pig would too.....

I will never understand people who want to take a new gun and make it look old on purpose. I guess kind of like the airsoft guys like their guns to look real, so they feel like real soldiers. Unless I buy a gun used, I like to put all the honest wear on a gun myself.

Let's just agree that a lot of you replying in this thread aren't the customer demographic that will spend the money to customize a Glock.  Let's also agree that the people who do that are no different than the people who spend money to customize a 1911.

To me battle worn is like buying jeans with holes already in them

No one wants to see that.   But a more relevant comparison would be a tricked-out custom M&P.  Get out your turd polish!

Love em both, G19/1911.  However if that *gly looking thing were my only choice I would take up archery.

No offense meant, Just Ed's Opinion

edit:  btw, a 1911 is slimmer than the G19 so a Commander sized one conceals ok'ish,  Problem is the weight, better get a good belt and lose some weight.  Then there is the age old issue of 45 acp vs higher capacity 9mm.  Won;t chime in on that one,
