Glock vs M-1911A1
First I must qualify that I am a big 1911 fan however single action anything revolver or auto have a severe problem in court, the act of cocking or chambering a round has been used against the victim as proof that the shooting was somehow NOT SELF DEFENSE. A Glock is (in court) more like a double action in that you only pull the trigger. I got this from my CCL instructor.
IMVHO I would buy and carry a Glock and fix the spring/ammo issue, once I got my M-1911A1 spring issues fixed she will digest any ammo I feed her, but I carry a mid sized Glock in 9mm with whatever the hot 9mm round is this week with the local Police Dept. (After shooting a box to be sure that there are no ammo malfunctions.)
If the badguy's lawyer attempts to go down the "Evil Plastic Gun" road I can just say: "Hey that is what the Police use" which shuts down that argument.
On the battlefield you can get away with murder, in civilian courts self defense is no excuse.
