This was a debate a couple of buddies and I had, and I though I would extend it too you, my fellow Warriors. So here it is: Glock 21, H&K or a Kimber or other 1911 type, which .45 do you prefer?

Duty use HK, I like the 1911 for concealed carry

on duty a 21 or 1911, off duty 1911 all the way, it is slimmer and fits between my hip and waistband without a holster.have worn it that way for 15 years, and i tell my dad that no im not worried about blowing another crack in my ass.

i'd go with a Kimber TLE 2. Hell ! i'd take anything over this damn Beretta M9 9mm

On duty, My glock 21 SF, off duty Kimber 1911.. HK is fun but a little bit too big for my hand.

Love the 1911's but I gotta go with the Glock 21SF for everyday.

I pick the 1911 over any other choice, personally. For department issue, however, we chose the 45 cal HK USP. This has been a great pistol for us, so far. I am leery of training all officers with a single action auto pistol. The average officer/shooter does not train often enough to be safe with a s/a pistol.

I am just not a fan of Glocks...not sure why, as I have owned one, but I never really took to it.

It all depends if you want it to work, or just look pretty. If you need to shoot someone, right now with no worry of misfire, Glock. I recently did some training where we had to start fighting, go to the ground, then draw and fire, all while still fighting full out. That really opened my eyes about my choice of guns. Before that, I was a Kimber guy hands down. After seeing all the 1911's misfire, glad I had a Glock. No offense guys, but you did ask.

I'm wondering if poor maintenance was responsible for what you witnessed.

Kimber 1911 then glock 21 .45

Carried a S&W 645 for a year, hated it.  Been carrying a 1911 combat elite for almost 18 years and love it. Glock is too fat even with my big hands. Kimber is too nice to F-up on duty. HK is too expensive for me.

I like the glock 21 then a 1911.

I used to be a 911 fan, still am but after getting a glock I carried it till retirement, either way you can go wrong!!

 This is what I have been carrying as a Reserve.

Great gun, but between people coming up to tell me "excuse me Officer but your pistol is cocked" and the fact that the full time guys have G21s I am switching to a brand new G21SF with a TLR-2 and 10-8 sights. Qualed with the new gun and shot the same score (300/300) as with the Kimber so its all good.

I love the Warrior!

Actually, its a TLE that I had some work done on.  I added a YB rear sight, Ed Brown Beaver tail, SA mag well, VZ grips, a Dawson light rail, removed the full length guide rod and had it refinished.  But you are right, the Warrior is a damn good gun.
