It was great discussing with you the advantages of both the 1911 and the Glock. I was trained by a gentleman who trained special forces. When it comes to the choice of weapon, I would use the one I am most familiar with. Nice to have people of your age engaging in the shooting sports. You are the future. I just wanted to remove the myth of the complex nature of the 1911. With some of the modern versions of the 1911, yes you do need extra tools, but you do not need any tools to repair the original 1911 design. Bwelch47
