Can't say that one really motivates me.

If womenz would be like guns Glock womenz would be like Russian Babushkas & 1911 womenz would be from the Swedish Bikini Team.....

Aren't they carrying CZ's though?

They are carrying guns......

Sorry, I'm an old married guy. I notice guns first.

It would motivate you if you were a gunsmith.

You see, I thought your photo was inferring that the 1911 is a POS, and constantly being at the gunsmith was the side-effect of owning one.

I own both Glocks and 1911's. My Dan Wesson is a work of art. It has a trigger that is almost sex itself, breaks like the proverbial glass rod, right at 3 pounds, almost no take up, hardly any overtravel, and very crisp reset. It's slide to frame fit makes it feel like it's on ball bearings. The barrel is very tightly fitted. It is very good at putting one round after another into one ragged hole, with almost boring regularity. I've yet to see a shooter that it doesn't make look good. It runs well, but it cost a substantial amount more than 2 Glocks to purchase. Those that are less expensive commonly choke with certain bullets, or certain magazines, or will require 'smith work to run reliably with the ammunition one chooses for their defense. Even my DW needs to run wet, and to be reasonably clean. That tight fitting comes at a price, and that price is paid in cleanliness and maintenance. It's like a high-maintenance supermodel. Ignore it for a while, don't expect it to perform like you'd want. It's exactly what I want in an occasional carry, but mostly target/game gun.

My Glocks are not works of art. They're almost industrial tools that just work. They're black, ugly, and very utilitarian. No one is going to pick one up, and show it to their buddies saying, "look at this sweet looking Glock, and this awesome hand-cut checkering on the grips". It's a tool, and it works. When I need a gun that can be drug through the mud, sand, water, suffer all sorts of neglect and just keep on working, it will always get the nod. It will do so with at a minimum, good accuracy. It will shoot into "minute of dirtbag" at ranges that extend past what I'd be comfortable shooting a handgun. It will feed anything in it's chambering, right out of the box. While it's nice to have it clean and lubed, it doesn't have to be. It can be completely dry, and full of crap and nastiness, and it will keep working. It's exactly what I want when I need to depend on something to work 100% of the time, and I'm betting my life on it.

Not that it's a POS and constantly at the gunsmith...

More along the lines of it takes a gunsmith to build a really good one and sometimes a good gunsmith to repair one.
