A 1911 can be used as a weapon, even when empty...

I'm a Glock guy.. But we ain't gonna lie when people ask us which one is sexier..

Im by no means a gun enthusiast but, there is something about a 1911 thats just so timeless.

“Guns are like women, just can’t have enough of them.” -Ammunations guy from GTA 5

me at the cashier:

1911 is the best looking pistol in my opinion

"glock sounds like a noise youd make before vomiting" - a internet stranger

"Would you prefer a 1911 or a Glock?" Me with my Beretta: "My piece is lonely, so why not both?"

1911 is just a magnificent piece of history and a priceless jewel.

1911 is such a beautiful gun. I wish I could get myself one.

One won World Wars, the other a cop's sweaty holster.

Me at the store explaining the cashier my 100% discount coupon:

Some 1911s are a beautiful work of art . Glock, not so much. So there’s that 🤷🏻

Careful near the end, you tapped them together. Better make sure the Glock is okay.

The one history fact that not too many people know that Gaston Glock’s creation was based on the mechanics of the 1911 pistol (which utilizes the Browning Short Recoil system).

I had 1911 in 45 acp when I was a m60 machine Gunner. We used them and my time ended in late 1979. We had the 1911 made by singer, Ithaca, colt and others. They were wore out and anything further than 10 feet you would have better luck to throw the handgun at the target than hit anything by shooting at it. Very reliable but simply wore out.

I have an 1911 that's 110 years old and still works like new!

I'm glad you're just comparing and contrasting, instead of saying one is better or worse, letting people decide what they want

I think it’s safe to say that we must agree that the 1911 is the most beautiful pistol out there.

I love my 1911. There are few pistols that are as experienced, common, and sturdy as the gun designed by John Browning himself.

Not to mention that the 1911 was also used in Korea and Vietnam. It was the standard issue side arm from 1911 to 1989, when the US military chose the Beretta M9 to replace the 1911.

The M1911 is truly a classic of American engineering. Even to this day - it is a striking and reliable sidearm I wouldn’t mind carrying. But I can see why the major Police departments in America switched to Glocks.

also the 1911 has a grip safety meaning you have to be gripping the gun for it to shoot

Not gonna lie, pulling the hammer back on a 1911 feels cool as hell.

"A 9mm kills the body but a .45 acp kills the soul."

I've always been a 1911 guy. A Kimber Custom (series 70 type before they came out with their series 80 type) was my first firearm over 20 years ago and I still have it. I don't own a Glock but I'm glad they're an option.

Ive always loved the 1911. They only thing Ive never loved is the limited 7 round capacity.

Glock is just a gun 1911 is a Beautiful jewel

Here In Texas , I Still See Sherrifs Who Carry 1911s as Sidearms .

I like both but also have a 2011 as my personal carry cause they found a way to double stack it and they just look dope

Glock : “what the hell is the difference?!” 1911 : “I’m not mid 🗿”

You left out that the 1911 was given to us by god himself, the venerable JMB.

"Not every steel pistol is a 1911" Journalists : I'll pretend I didn't hear that

One’s Austrian and the other one’s American. You can smell the freedom in one of them

My dad was a Marine for 20 yrs . He said if you pull a 1911 45 pistol , you will get everybody's attention . I agree 👍 .

The 1911 is such a beauty

Glocks have steel mags with a polymer coating

Glad you could teach us what we have known since 1982

"What are the main differences between a Glock and a 1911?" Everything.

A chromed out 1911 is such a beauty. It feels more raw

1911 just looks more elegant and feels so much nicer to hold!

Perhaps not legal in Belgium okidoki but I'm parelised from one terrible accident with my Harley Davidson 34 years ego ore past eway capish, thanks for reading this. I have just the left side that completely working?!! Unforgettable and I wash standing still seriously.

That... That is the most beautiful 1911 I have ever seen... I can't even imagine such beauty

1911 is THE ONLY HANDGUN with a confirmed air to air kill. Dude was in the parachute, popped for round of the God caliber and killed the Japanese pilot.

My 1911 is nickel plated with wood handle grips...beautiful weapon...you can keep your Glock

I've never heard the word "typically" used more in one minute in my life.

There was a story, I think it was back in the 70s, the Miami PD was looking to replace their 38s. The trial came down to the 38s or a 1911. The final test was to see how long it would take a fire arm novice (bad guy) to shoot the weapon after they took it from the cop. The longer the better. The 38 was like 1.5 seconds. The 1911 was like 18 seconds. They went with the 1911. The other great thing about a 1911, it uses the same amo as a Thompson. One amo.

The Sig Sauer Nightmare 1911 is a work of art.

Whats better than 1911? Two of 1911‘s😃

Food for thought: the 1911 was established because it revolutionized how people thought about handguns. It was a fine piece of equipment for the time. Likewise, the glock did the same thing. In a way, these sidearms couldn’t possibly be any more different, and in a way, they couldn’t possibly be more alike.

The dynamic between you guys 😂

One is a tool, the other one is a piece of history... You can't beat the 1911 trigger tho... Thanks for the likes !

fun fact in Brazil Imbel has licensed the 1911 model and developed several variants that are produced along with the 1911 .45 in the cal 9mm, .380 and .40

1911 hammer sound is so heavenly

The fact that this pistol survived over an hundred years of weapon-evolution and still gets produced to this day shows me everythibg i need to know

1911 IS A BEAUTY!

I got a 1911 because I love the history behind it, looks, and the feel of weight in my hand. Went and got my first handgun, Springfield Mil-Spec M1911

I own and love them both . I conceal carry my Glock .40 cal . 16 rounds makes sense. For target shooting, my 1911s are a lot more fun . My 1911s recoil is much softer , it keeps me on target a lot quicker.

"Follow my rhythm, feel the endless charm!"

GODDAMN that is a beautiful 1911

John Browning's design is well over 100 years old now and still the best in my opinion...

I heard somewhere once "The 1911 brought peace, the Glock tries to keep it".

Another big difference is that a 1911 is typically chambered in .45 ACP while Glock Pistols are typically Chambered in 9mm. .45 has more stopping power and a higher velocity (Hurts the wrist if said wrist isn’t that strong.) 9mm can usually be carried easier, but at the expense of less power compared to .45 (Can be fired for far longer without wrist fatigue.)

I’ll take the 1911 any day of the week!

Fucking am in love with my 1911

1911 sounds just beautifull. That sound of steel brushing against steel when putting in magazine is amazing

Everyone says that glocks are superior to 1911's but they don't talk about how the new 2011 pistols are the fastest pistols on the market and hold double stack 😭I still think 1911 is better at close range

Media: Assault pistols.

Damn, I thought all steel pistols were 1911s. Goddammit

The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. It's not going to have any feeding problems. The slide's been replaced with a reinforced version, and it meshes perfectly with the frame. The frame itself has been iron-welded and scraped down multiple times for maximum precision. The front strap part of the frame has been checkered to make it dig into the hand. That prevents any slipping. The sight system's original too. It's a 3-dot type. It's got an enlarged front sight, giving it superior target sighting capability. The regular hammer's been replaced with a ring hammer. That enhances the cocking control and increases the hammer-down speed. They also reworked the grip safety to accommodate the ring hammer. It looks like they eliminated it altogether. This is a tool for pros. The thumb safety and slide stop are extended for precise handling. The base of the trigger guard is whittled down so you can use a high grip, and the trigger itself is a long type for easy finger access. The trigger pull is about 3.5 pounds. that's about a pound and a half lighter than normal. The magazine well has been widened to make it easier to put in a new magazine. The magazine catch button has been filed down low to make it harder to hit it by mistake. The mainspring housing has been changed to a flat type to increase grip, and it's even been fitted with stepping so that it won't slip from the recoil when firing. On top of that, they added cocking serrations to the top part of the slide. That lets you load and eject cartridges faster in an emergency. Whoever did this is a professional, no question. This thing could shoot a one-hole at 25 yards in a machine rest

The most common problems with Glocks include failure to feed, failure to eject, slide lock issues, magazine base plate issues, loose slide plates, failure to fire, trigger points, slide not locking back, double feeds, slide not returning to the battery, stovepipes, and light primer strikes.

The Glock is the quiet, mild mannered dorky girl with good grades and the 1911 is the smoking hot blonde who’s head of the cheer squad. You know which one would be the safer and more reasonable option, but you reeeeaaaally want the other one 😂

1911's are what I grew up on. Love it!

The Glock is a 9mm double stack polymer handgun that can hold 17-18 rounds. The 1911 is a .45ACP Singlestack steel framed handgun that can hold 7-8 rounds. Despite holding less rounds, the 1911 does more damage.

I have both a Glock 19 and a Springfield 1911 stainless and love them both. The 1911 does shoot more accurately in my opinion because of the heavyweight frame

I shelved my 1911 one deer season for a Glock. At lunch I accidently melted the Glock while drying it out on the woodstove. Thank goodness I was able to dial 1911!

One thing that the Glock doesn’t have is over a hundred years of proven combat reliability.

I love the small 'tink' near the end

I'll still choose the M 1911 for home defense.

Jesus, all the team Glock and team 1911 boys giving themselves handies in the comments...lads, they're both extremely reliable sidearms with a lengthy history of service which serve their purposes extremely well. Can we all colectively chill?

I honestly love 1911’s. Their trigger, the weight, the slimness, how they shoot, everything. However, if I were to pick one to use as a concealed carry, I’d take the Glock (pains me to say that). It’s a lot easier to attach a laser/light to a Glock than a 1911, and, the Glock holds more bullets. Not that I’m gonna be getting in a 10-15 bullet shootout, but I’d rather have the extra capacity and not need it, than need it and not have it.

1911 is like a Glock, but for adults. The 1911 is the Chuck Norris of handguns

Glock: I’m better M1911: no I’m better The revolver in the corner: hello there son

1911 is my favorite pistol shit looks so clean

Get yourself a double stack 1911 and have the best of both worlds...and suspenders for your holster, cause 15 rounds of 45aarp is like carrying a toddler on your hip 😅

Glock for conceal carry. 1911 For showing to your friends.

I like the 1911. I like that the steel frame makes it feel just a little heavier even if choosing it sacrifices mag capacity

I carried the colt 1911 for years. Served me well. Have glocks also just cant get away from the 1911. Personal preference.

People need this. It’s rational informative and you slip in some good info. Good videos.

I mean when I played Metal Gear Solid 3, the codec call with sigint where snake gushes over the tailor made M1911A1 he has helped me alot learning English as a kid.

I'm glad he worked in the phrase "Two World Wars" (he said "Both" but it still counts) since that phrase is required in every video about a 1911

I remember back when my dad’s department changed over to glocks for their service weapons. He absolutely hated them. His Glock was always in his briefcase. He never had it on is hip. He’s in his 80’s now and he still hates glocks.

“Sir, this is a Wendys”

What brand is this 1911? It looks gorgeous. 🙌🏼😍🔥

The M1911 came out in… you guessed it, 1911. The Glock was invented over 50 years later. Lower recoil for more accurate follow up shots and more ammunition will always win you more battles than sheer stopping power. Why do you think that Army STILL hasn’t gotten rid of the M4 despite accepting the XM7(M5)?

The Glock is the steady wife waiting at home with dinner and the 1911 is the pretty girl at the bar in a low cut dress. Both are fun for very different reasons

Bro thank u for an actual unbiased video of a Glock and 1911🙏

The 1911 looks intimidating and beautiful, and it doesn't need 15 shots to stop your target. John Browning was a great gunsmith.
