I carried a Glock 22 (.40) and later a Glock 21 (.45) for many years. I later transitioned to a Kimber 1911 TLE/II after transfering to a tactical unit. Both weapons served me well, and each has their pro's and cons. Unless you rework a Glock, it will not be the accurate tack driver that the Kimber 1911 is. The intent of the Glock is to be a combat handgun, loosened tolerances, and to work in adverse environments/conditions, and it does this very well. If I had to pick between a Glock and a Kimber for survival if dropped on a deserted island, I would pick the Glock for the reliability factor. For day to day use where I can clean my weapon frequently and as required, I will pick the 1911 hands down as it is (for me) more accurate, and when cleaned and maintained, just as reliable. Not maintained, the 1911 will be prone to rust and feeding failures. The Glock is less susceptable to rust, and even when dirty just seems to work. All that being said, and that is not even .1%, it really boils down to what you like, are comfortable with, and have trigger time with. You can have the best weapon in the world, but if you are proficient with it, its crap.
