Sig v Glock
Having purchased a 9mm, I now want to get a .45
I have looked at the Sig p320 .45 and really like it but the gun shop is trying to dissuade me saying that the after sales service on the Glock is much better. Any thoughts? Personally I would love to get a Colt or S&W, but I can't seem to find any in the Cape

Re: Sig v Glock
Any decent gunshop in Cape Town can order you a Colt.

Sweet. I'll try another store. The shop where I have been seems hellbent on selling only Glock. (not that I have a problem with Glock....only with the lack of choice)

Re: Sig v Glock
If you want the gun for anything serious they’re doing you a favour.

Re: Sig v Glock
In this case I think that the shop may only have your best interests at heart, so do not judge them too harshly :)
Glock makes a better 45. Colt makes a better 1911
If you are a fan of the caliber, you really should have one of each. I suggest a G21 for the one, and a new one for the other.
The Glock has a rail, but the 1911 has a legacy
The Glock has backup service, but the 1911 has a cult
The Glock is reliable, but the 1911 gets you the girl
The Glock is the one you marry, but the 1911 is what you want to take home and shag
The Glock has more than 8 rounds, but he 1911 is what Jesus would do.

Re: Sig v Glock
I have a Colt Mark IV Series 80, love it to bits! Shoots like a dream, but I fight with it in competition (Soft IT hands and all) and look jealously at the guys running Glock 21's in the same division as they throw their mags at the mag well and they seat, mags dropped in sand continue to work, slide stop works flawlessly, weirdly shaped ammo, no probs...
You buy a 1911 if you are a gun nut and want to fight a little bit, but oh the satisfaction when it comes right!
I am personally not a Glock fan, they tend to bite me and the triggers leave a little to be desired in my personal opinion. I went the Sig route, though not the typical route, I got myself a P227. It's more expensive than a G21, holds less rounds and parts and mags are definitely scarcer. Would I change my choice? Not a sausage.
The P320 45 is a good second choice, but I have a Signess for the Classic range of Sig pistols
