Seems to me the 1911 (with the right ammo) was rain proof tested pretty extensively between 1917-1918, 1941-1945, 1950-1953, and 1964-1972. My team still had them in 1992 and for the most part they still functioned reliably, pretty impressive since the last ones in military service were produced during WWII. Hard to get excited about a plastic gun that may have been a toothbrush in a previous life.

I carried a 1911 sometimes in 1970-71 in wet weather it required maintanence at least once a day to avoid rust from just being carried and not used. My commments were half in jest (well maybe 1/4 in jest). I don't think the argument of Glock vs. 1911 or 1911 vs. H&K is worth a lot of time. Carry what you a comfortable with and can shoot well and be happy. Remember I still own my Colt Government model so you never know.
