The venerable 1911-style automatic comes from a time when they were hand-made by skilled craftsmen, but they do not lend themselves well to modern manufacturing processes. Though severely outdated and well surpassed, it is nevertheless an excellent sidearm. Mind you, pretty much any handgun can be lethal in the right hands - shoot a man in the brain or the heart with any bullet and he WILL reconsider his itinerary.
In my personal opinion (which is shared by many professional shooters and operators infinitely more skilled and experienced than myself), the Glock is simply the best sidearm you can carry. It's not a work of art, it's a functional battle handgun - plain and simple. But much respect to everything else out there! I originally learned how to shoot on a Colt 1911.
