Don't tell anyone, but I ended up with a Glock 20 that I was going to turn over, after shooting it, I will keep it around. Just traded for a Glock 21C, scared to shoot it as I might want to keep it as well!

All I see here is an admittance that Glocks need to have multiple parts replaced to be an acceptable gun. I'm glad one of you finally admitted it.
A real mans firearm that doesn't require half of its guts replaced upon purchase - 1911's, Revolvers, etc.
Either I'm not understanding what you're getting at, or you're speaking from a lot of ignorance, partner. Nothing on a Glock needs replacing. People frequently upgrade triggers and sights, for preference, but absolutely nothing is "required." Quite contrary to 1911s, which generally need to be completely overhauled by a good smith before being put into service.
I have two Glocks. No need to change anything.
When there are accessories around, guys will buy them, necessary or not. ARs, mossberg 500s, Remington 870s, Glocks, S&W M&Ps, and a host of other firearms are proof of this. In reality, they're all great out of the box.
Being a certified Glock armored I can say with complete impartiality that the worst Glock with out run, out last, out perform, and generally outlive the best 1911ever conceived.

Highest profile 1911 users: Sgt. York, Col. Cooper, MSgt. Gary Gordon. All three of these men were weapons using a tool.
Highest profile Glock user: James Yeager, a tool who uses a weapon.
I'm not at all trying to offend, but isn't 1911/Glock=apples/oranges?
Capacity is great, but Sgt. York killed 6 Germans with his 1911 before reloading. I honestly believe higher capacity has destroyed marksmanship. Didn't we fire 40-50 rounds per kill in WWII & 10,000 per kill in Vietnam?
I have yet to meet someone who hasn't gutted their 1911 and upgraded it, unless they paid over a grand. I can buy two glocks for that price carry twice the ammo in one gun.
And three times the ammo in one gun than you can with a revolver.
So, how did this turn into a 1911 bashing thread?!?!
I have a Ruger SR1911 that is "box stock". No need to replace anything. Period.
