I've owned and shot 1911's for many years, going all the way back to the 80's when I was in the Army, and I shoot them the best of all the centerfire pistols I have ever owned. But when it was time to pick what to carry when I got my CCW it was a G26 that I chose. I also pocket carry an LCP when belt carry is not an option.

My reason for going with the Glock instead of my 1911 was simple: I did not feel that I would be willing/able to put in the training time to remember 100% of the time to hit that thumb safety on the draw when fighting for my life. So I went with my second choice.
