One of the reason Glock lovers hate 1911's is because of capacity.
I've never heard that.


To me it's a question of size.

Yep.

The Shield is a single stack polymer pistol in 9mm, something Glock refuses to build for the populace.

And in the grand scheme of things, 9mm, 40, and 45 are about equal, with some specific rounds being slightly better than others. But none of that is huge enough to make a crazy difference. For a true crazy difference, grab a rifle or shotgun.

You haven't seen many Glock vs. 1911 debates then.

I agree about the size. I bought a 1911 thinking I'd carry it and quit because it was to bulky. Thats also why I decided to replace it with the Shield. That's what got me thinking about this thread. I've got a gun that holds the same number of rounds that seems more acceptable, and some people's only reason for hating the 1911 was capacity.

It would take forever to dig it up with this site splendid search function, but I promise, that argument has been made numerous times in the Glock vs. 1911 threads.
