I have a G23, I carry my 5" Colt 1911 condition 1. In more respects than not the Glock makes more sense, lighter, smaller, higher ammo capacity. But I can't get over not having a traditional safety. I just can't carry comfortably with that in mind. That and I shoot my 1911 better.

Carrying cocked and locked in a modern 1911 is, IMHO, much less fraught with risk than carrying a safety-less semiauto. It won't fire unless the gun is in your hand and the safety switch down. Practice can make flipping the safety off as the barrel becomes parallel with the deck second nature.
