In \"Which Gun Would You Rather Have?\", we kicked off the series with a good one: Mossberg 500 vs Remington 870<\/a>. After more than 3,500 votes, Mossberg has a healthy lead. Now it's time to turn our attention to another hotly contested debate: the 1911 vs Glock 21.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"203674\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n1911 vs Glock<\/h3>\r\nAs much as this one is a contest between types of gun, it might just be a contradiction between types of shooter. Because this one is about more than just comparing two companies. No, 1911s and Glocks represent something altogether different, as the very soul of the firearm is at the heart of the debate.\r\n
John Browning's 1911<\/h3>\r\nOn one side, you have the most traditional semi-auto in American history, the 1911. Designed by none other than John Moses Browning himself, the 1911, strapped to the Yanks' sides, won two world wars. From Belleau Wood to the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima, few things are more symbolic to America's great war efforts than a Government Model.\r\n\r\nIn civilian circles, the 1911 comes in countless forms and from an ever-growing myriad of companies. Though it has certainly taken on modern characteristics in recent years, with coatings, accessories and components, it will nevertheless maintain its image in its most classic form, sporting wood grips and a blue or parkerized finish. This is grandad's pistol, your daddy's pistol, America's pistol.\r\n
Glock 21<\/h3>\r\nOn the other hand, arguably no other pistol so thoroughly represents the modern firearm industry, from duty guns, to conceal carry to competition, better than the Glock. Gaston Glock revolutionized the firearm industry like few others before him. The Glock pistol went on a tenacious run outfitting law enforcement agencies across the country.\r\n\r\nWhen compared to the 1911, we zero in on the Glock 21<\/a>, equal in its .45-caliber chambering, but superior in the number one can carry. With a polymer frame, interchangeable backstraps, and greater capacity, the striker-fired Glock 21<\/a> is equal to the challenge. The Glock, in any form, has become ubiquitous with law enforcement agencies, backyard plinkers, and holsters across the land.\r\n\r\nSo there you have it, the next pair of challengers square off: 1911 vs Glock. Vote which gun you'd rather have. We have a feeling this vote says as much about you, as it does about the guns themselves.\r\n\r\n
The Glock Gen5 family is probably the most inclusive group of pistol's in Glock's inventory. Gen5 includes pistols chambered in 9x19, .40 S&W, 10MM AUTO, and .45 AUTO. There are over 20 design modifications from their Gen4 predecessors. These include the Glock Marksman Barrel, nDLC finish, ambidextrous slide stop levers, the removal of finger grooves, and a flared mag-well. The Glock Marksman Barrel offers a more aggressive polygonal rifling with a target-style crown and tighter chamber specs for improved accuracy. The ambidextrous slide stop levers offer improved ergonomics for left-hand shooters and shooting with the support hand. Glock removed the finger grooves on the grip to enhance ergonomics and fit for shooters of all hand sizes. Lastly, the flared mag-well has a larger funnel for faster and smoother reloading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Glock 42 also employs a locked-breech system, which is unusual for a .380 ACP pistol, as most use a blowback system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Glock 41 Gen4 is a competition-sized pistol with a 5.31-inch barrel chambered in the fight-stopping .45 ACP. The dual recoil spring assembly helps reduce the felt recoil in the Glock 41 Gen4, and the interchangeable backstraps offer operators a high degree of customization. The white-dot front sight and white-outlined rear sight offer fast target acquisitions, and the wraparound frame texturing provides added control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Glock 43 is a single-stack pistol chambered in 9mm and designed specifically for concealed carry. With a capacity of 6+1 rounds, an overall length of 6.26 inches, and an unloaded weight of 17.95 ounces, the Glock 43 may be small in stature but offers all the legendary Glock safety features and reliability. For everyday carry, it is ultra-concealable, comfortable to carry, and offers plenty of 9mm firepower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RELATED STORY: 3 GLOCK Subcompact & Full-Size Pistols For Self-Defense<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2015, Glock rolled out the Modular Optic System to accommodate optics which increased the Glock's overall function. Glock Modular Optic System (MOS) Configuration pistols<\/a> feature slides that come with mounting plates to accept a variety of popular miniature reflex sights. These models, including the Glock 34 Gen4, Glock 35 Gen4, Glock 41 Gen4, and the Glock 40 Gen4 in 10mm, are perfect for hunting, self-defense, and competition, offering quick target acquisitions and power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Glock Gen5 family is probably the most inclusive group of pistol's in Glock's inventory. Gen5 includes pistols chambered in 9x19, .40 S&W, 10MM AUTO, and .45 AUTO. There are over 20 design modifications from their Gen4 predecessors. These include the Glock Marksman Barrel, nDLC finish, ambidextrous slide stop levers, the removal of finger grooves, and a flared mag-well. The Glock Marksman Barrel offers a more aggressive polygonal rifling with a target-style crown and tighter chamber specs for improved accuracy. The ambidextrous slide stop levers offer improved ergonomics for left-hand shooters and shooting with the support hand. Glock removed the finger grooves on the grip to enhance ergonomics and fit for shooters of all hand sizes. Lastly, the flared mag-well has a larger funnel for faster and smoother reloading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Glock is an innovative firearms company that has changed pistol design and manufacturing forever. Over the past three decades, the company has listened to its users and refined its pistols so they truly aspire to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information, visit https:\/\/us.glock.com<\/a> or call 770-432-1202.<\/p>\n","post_title":"The Evolution of Glock Pistols","post_excerpt":"Four generations of Glock designs have forever changed the world of firearms.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"the-evolution-of-glock-pistols","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.personaldefenseworld.com\/2015\/10\/stealth-nine-the-single-stack-glock-43-pistol\/#glock-43-5-4","post_modified":"2023-10-31 22:44:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-01 02:44:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2015\/11\/25\/the-evolution-of-glock-pistols\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":128562,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2019-05-03 06:00:36","post_date_gmt":"2019-05-03 10:00:36","post_content":"About one month ago we launched a brand new series here on Tactical Life, where you, the reader, make the call. In \"Which Gun Would You Rather Have?\", we kicked off the series with a good one: Mossberg 500 vs Remington 870<\/a>. After more than 3,500 votes, Mossberg has a healthy lead. Now it's time to turn our attention to another hotly contested debate: the 1911 vs Glock 21.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"203674\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n1911 vs Glock<\/h3>\r\nAs much as this one is a contest between types of gun, it might just be a contradiction between types of shooter. Because this one is about more than just comparing two companies. No, 1911s and Glocks represent something altogether different, as the very soul of the firearm is at the heart of the debate.\r\n
John Browning's 1911<\/h3>\r\nOn one side, you have the most traditional semi-auto in American history, the 1911. Designed by none other than John Moses Browning himself, the 1911, strapped to the Yanks' sides, won two world wars. From Belleau Wood to the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima, few things are more symbolic to America's great war efforts than a Government Model.\r\n\r\nIn civilian circles, the 1911 comes in countless forms and from an ever-growing myriad of companies. Though it has certainly taken on modern characteristics in recent years, with coatings, accessories and components, it will nevertheless maintain its image in its most classic form, sporting wood grips and a blue or parkerized finish. This is grandad's pistol, your daddy's pistol, America's pistol.\r\n
Glock 21<\/h3>\r\nOn the other hand, arguably no other pistol so thoroughly represents the modern firearm industry, from duty guns, to conceal carry to competition, better than the Glock. Gaston Glock revolutionized the firearm industry like few others before him. The Glock pistol went on a tenacious run outfitting law enforcement agencies across the country.\r\n\r\nWhen compared to the 1911, we zero in on the Glock 21<\/a>, equal in its .45-caliber chambering, but superior in the number one can carry. With a polymer frame, interchangeable backstraps, and greater capacity, the striker-fired Glock 21<\/a> is equal to the challenge. The Glock, in any form, has become ubiquitous with law enforcement agencies, backyard plinkers, and holsters across the land.\r\n\r\nSo there you have it, the next pair of challengers square off: 1911 vs Glock. Vote which gun you'd rather have. We have a feeling this vote says as much about you, as it does about the guns themselves.\r\n\r\n

Because this one is about more than just comparing two companies. No, 1911s and Glocks represent something altogether different, as the very soul of the firearm is at the heart of the debate.\r\n
John Browning's 1911<\/h3>\r\nOn one side, you have the most traditional semi-auto in American history, the 1911. Designed by none other than John Moses Browning himself, the 1911, strapped to the Yanks' sides, won two world wars. From Belleau Wood to the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima, few things are more symbolic to America's great war efforts than a Government Model.\r\n\r\nIn civilian circles, the 1911 comes in countless forms and from an ever-growing myriad of companies. Though it has certainly taken on modern characteristics in recent years, with coatings, accessories and components, it will nevertheless maintain its image in its most classic form, sporting wood grips and a blue or parkerized finish. This is grandad's pistol, your daddy's pistol, America's pistol.\r\n
Glock 21<\/h3>\r\nOn the other hand, arguably no other pistol so thoroughly represents the modern firearm industry, from duty guns, to conceal carry to competition, better than the Glock. Gaston Glock revolutionized the firearm industry like few others before him. The Glock pistol went on a tenacious run outfitting law enforcement agencies across the country.\r\n\r\nWhen compared to the 1911, we zero in on the Glock 21<\/a>, equal in its .45-caliber chambering, but superior in the number one can carry. With a polymer frame, interchangeable backstraps, and greater capacity, the striker-fired Glock 21<\/a> is equal to the challenge. The Glock, in any form, has become ubiquitous with law enforcement agencies, backyard plinkers, and holsters across the land.\r\n\r\nSo there you have it, the next pair of challengers square off: 1911 vs Glock. Vote which gun you'd rather have. We have a feeling this vote says as much about you, as it does about the guns themselves.\r\n\r\n
