Colt 45 vs. Desert Eagle 1911 vs. Glock 9mm

I don't think it's called CCW in Canada, but yeh thats the purpose

I have both, and honestly I can't say one is better than the other. For accuracy in the middle of the night (wake up to an armed intruder, etc), I'd go with the 9mm. The .45 auto is definitely more stopping power, but unless you keep it chambered (and I don't), it's clumsier to handle than the Glock or other high-end 9mm autos. (IMHO). Daytime protection (behind store counter, etc), I'd go for the 1911. For carrying purposes, the Glock hands down. the 1911 is too big & heavy.

there really isnt too much you can do to the desert eagle 1911 or the colt 45 as far as customization... you can strip the parts and do grips, nickel plating, engraving ect... cosmetics... not too many internal parts, where the glock (i wouldnt do a 9mm) you can make parts, mold parts, there are a million and one accessories, theres the reliability there too... if i had my choice, i would take the glock but in a .45... as far as bad ass blow ya nuts off power, the desert eagle cant loose. those guns were made for one purpose only.. to kill people. they really serve no other purpose. the colt... its an all american classic.. ya kinda have to love em.
if its for self protection get a glock 30... its a .45, accurate, not too heavy, not bulky and never gotta worry about that gun jamming... thats my carry. i just wanna know the mother fucker is gonna work, ya know... and a 45 is a show stopper. you get hit with one round your chances of getting up are slim, and if you are alive... play dead

Go with a Glock 23, .40S&W. Fantastic size for carry, will stop a rhino and effortless to use. I alsow have a Glock 17 9mm and a .45 1911, and the only weapon I carry is the 23. Really love it!!

it's for persnoal safety, tough neighborhoods, work at night, etc

Why not avoid shitty and poor neighborhoods and towns?

If you want it for target practice, then I'd go with the M1 and go old school.

As long as it goes bang who cares. If its a daily carry gun you probably dont want a big, heavy, hard to conceal pain in the ass. Something light, compact, easy to carry/conceal, and reliable. My G19, xd45, & kimber carry well in the winter. My sw642 .38 is perfect for summer time. I care more about comfort than big rounds. The 9mm is perfect imo. Ive never hear anyone whos benn shot by a 9mm saying "man that didnt hurt at all." Gettin shot by a gun, any gun, would fucking suck. I think the 9mm is ample for a carry gun.
