The one major advantage that the 1911 has over the Glock is that the former is fully "tunable". There is an un-ending supply of aftermarket parts for the 1911. A person of ordinary skill with simple tools can completely build his/her own custom 1911; one can go from mild custom carry pieces to wild, all-out race guns built on the 1911 frame. Custom barrels like Bar-Sto can be neatly hand fitted with a minimum of trouble and vastly improve the accuracy. A little smoothing up here and there and feeding reliability can be superb. Trigger tune can be adjusted incrementally to achieve any desired pull. By contrast, although infinitely reliable, even master gunsmiths tend not to want to modify the Glock pistol in any way, beyond the installation of a custom barrel. That's because the trigger system/safety system are intimately intertwined. Changes in spring weight might compromise safety and that's a big no-no. I leave mine stock.
