I own a Glock 23c and. S&W 15. What should i get next? Im thinking something in a .45 caliber like a 1911
 
Buy them all, safe queens rule! And now another boring post:

If you are planning to carry either then I'd recommend you ONLY carry one OR the other forever and ever. Why? If you shoot and train with a Glock or any other non-thumb safety and only minimally train with a 1911 then when you are full of adrenaline and cannot even remember your name while being brutally attacked you will FORGET to put the safety off if you carry a 1911 thereby having a club in your hand as you are stabbed over and over. You will be terrified, bleeding and dying right before your loved one's eyes as you yank on the trigger, and yank and yank... Train with one of them, and carry it only. Just my .02.
 
I recently rented a HK45 compact...WOW what a great firearm...I plan to add it ASAP...that is to say as soon as the wife signs off lol
 
Buy some ammo. And give yourself a gift card for Christmas in one of the best ranges around. Or gift yourself with a pump up advanced class. It will not only help you but also keep the dollars in this country instead of buying something made in China or Korea or some other foreign country. Just a thought. This year buy something American.
 
LOL, it never ends. I bought a G21, then a Walther 380, just picked up a SW 40, and just traded for a mossberg 500 home defense. Love guns, now just to re-scope my 270, pick up the 308 I want and then the AR, I will set. Well, and then there is stocking up on ammo.
 
Buy a years worth of food and water first, use the guns you have to protect it. Then when you have food, ammo for the first guns, you can splurge on more guns. Without food stocks, you will have to "bite the bullet".
 
I agree with carry the same gun and practice. But not keeping the same line. I usually carry a Glock but love 1911 guns. I would easily carry a 1911 but I prefer a higher round count. A 1911 would be my next choice.
 
I think a .45 1911 would be a perfect addition. My perfect handgun lineup would be,

Sig 238
Glock ( insert number here )
1911
 
Yessir! I just got a Kimber Ultra Raptor II. Nice little .45. Nice machine work on the slide and frame to give it that little bit of 'over the top' from most 1911's.

I already had a Springfield and Para, a full size and a fuller size and they are nice. But this Kimber, ah yes!

Since you're familiar with Glock, you might try the Glock 21, 30, or 36 - all .45 ACP's. Why relearn a different set of controls, "grip feel" and sight picture, if you can get a reliable weapon in a more effective caliber? An S&W M&P in .45 ACP might also be a good choice, but the Glock will give you access to TREMENDOUSLY more holsters and accessories than other brands, both new and used. Personally, I love my Taurus 24/7 Pro in .45 ACP, but they're not for everybody.
 
biscotrip I agree with the others, stick with the same platform for carry as your muscle memory will be there for you when you need it. For something with a bit more excitement try a Glock 20! 15+1 and all the power you need! I don't think a 1911 is a bad purchase. If you can be proficient with both and be able to go from one to the other without having to think about what you are doing, go for it. But there are those who can shoot the heck out of a Glock and can't hit the broadside of a barn with a 1911, due to the difference in grip angle. I may catch some flak over this but I have seen it happen. Have fun shopping!
