 Its definitely fake, but I figured I would poke fun at the Glock vs. 1911 and Mens calibers(.45ACP, .30-06, 7.62x39/51/54R,etc) vs. poodle-shooters(9mm, 5.56) debates. -------------

Every other manf has made an 1911, they might as well join. Hurray for 100 year old designs! |

That's a fake, I've seen the base pic before.
It is well done though. Someone took their time. But now you gotta ask yourself which is more manly? The girly wristed all steel construction that absorbs recoil and contains explosions, or the brass balls plastic that'll let the uncontained explosion rip through your hand? ------------- Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.

A polymer 1911 would be something I would want no part of.. ------------- I need a new Sig... |

I like how Glock junkies around the world scoff at 1911's for an "antiquated design" and a "prehistoric caliber" when Glock essentially ripped off Brownings Hi-Power design, and the 9mm round is older than 1911's and designed by the grandfather of Glock's design, John Browning. Not that I call Glocks outdated, but they really aren't any different from most early semiautomatics sans polymer and trigger designs. -------------

The 9x19mm was made by Luger by opening the necked down cartridge that was a 7.6 something bottleneck round.
It was made 3 years before the .45ACP, so the claims of the out dated .45 is incorrect. ------------- Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo. H = 2 |

| Hi Power. The solution to the 911 problems. |

| The only thing that looks polymer on that 1911 is the grips. Anyone notice the giagantisaurus rex 1911 in the background of that picture? |

As the owner of a Hi-Power, I could say that is 80% true. Replace the trigger with a slider and get rid of the magazine disconnect and we'll have a winner. Still my favorite pistol thus far, however. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Sorry, I meant to say that .45 ACP was designed by Browning. Typo on my part. Buuuut I was right on the Glock bit. -------------

And the CZ 75b is the answer to the Hi-Power problem of "How can I make this much prettier?" -------------

Fanboys of any kind are retarded, Glock fanboys are no exception. I love my Glock because it suits me to a tee-inexpensive, great trigger pull, and very accurate out of the box. Beyond that, I still love my H&K that I still own and the Xtreme Duty I had before the Glock. Handguns are pure personal preference. -------------

Agreed. Defensive handguns, as long as they're reliable, should first be based on your needs I.E. budget, personal ergonomics, concealment purposes, state laws etc. I know a guy who built a beautiful 1911 as a range gun/ house gun. I got a long-gun for HD, and a carry pistol so he sold it any got a S&W M&P. He shoots it well, it's cheaper and he's not typically doing bullseye-style shooting anymore. Both work but fit different needs. |

| Yeah the hard-core target competition guys at the range that shoot 1911's run their customs so tight that they have oil literally running down theirs hands to keep them from malfunctioning. |

And the CZ is an even more beautiful piece, haha. The grip on my CZ is probably the best grip I've ever held on a handgun and it points so naturally. -------------

The thing is ALL guns should be run like that. Mechanical devices need lubrication to function. Polymer frames are not magically immune to needing it. Unless you are using what was it? Sulpher powder the Russians used to use? Your weapons need to be like a good woman, dripping and waiting. (On that note, graphite powder is not a good thing to use, there will be corrosion) Run your guns sloppy and you'll see a marked increase in reliability.

I was always told that Glocks required VERY little oil, just on the 4 contact points on the receiver and the trigger contact point with the slide. I ran my Glock moderately dry in this fashion, but I generally disliked mine. -------------
