He is referring to 1911's. He is been on a kick lately about 1911's supposedly needing tuned, tweaked and sent back to the manufacturing to get the running right after you buy them.
Geez... youse guys sound like Limbaugh and Carville in a cage match. Lots of noise, not much substance. Why don't we all just admit there's lots of good guns out there and we can all pick what we like? Color me Sig black, but I can't pick on the Glocks too much, even if I don't like them. They do do the job.

He said.... 'do do'. 
I wish they were the end all pistol for sure. I wish they adjustable backstraps, more swappable magazines and some ambi stuff. I wish the Kahr pistol I have is like that too. But they don't. I don't know if I am 'one you won't mention' or not; but, I just post stuff to see you guys get stir crazy over it. You are equally vehement about your 1911s being impervious that you don't even your hypocrisy when you accuse the real Glock fans of being so vehemently 'Glock only'.
I think it's just plain funny that these threads are almost once a day thing. And, when I'm bored on this site, (which is often b/c not many posts any real info-- like reports, reviews, new purchase stuff etc. that it interesting; and, the politics and break room is same old crap different day) I can hop on over and see the latest fan boys going at it about their specific soul saving guns. I mean, really, doesn't the 1911 or Glock save our souls?
Continue on.... sorry if your feathers are ruffled about your little toys. OUR little toys.
EDIT: I've owned two XDs that functioned out of the box as well. I just had issues with the 'extras' on them that weren't needed for me. I'm definitely not a Glock guy. My old G19 actually doesn't like wolf ammo... so... no I'm not a hard born 'fan'.
Before I finish that statement, I wish to clarify my intent here. I am NOT trying to start up an argument, although it almost certainly will.
I would seriously like to know. I have seen torture tests documented, I've seen range tests, I recently watched a video of a man purporting to hit a target at 230 yards, with a Glock.
Everyone RAVES about them. "They are tanks", "Best gun ever built", "Can't stop them"... and so on, and so on...
I have zero experience with Glocks.
I have NO vested interest in this argument, I would just like an answer to my question.
"Can anyone tell me why, if Glocks are so good, why do so many people have them up for sale"?
I'd really like to know
So Glocks workmenship is second to none? So basicly you are saying Glock is the best? Please prove it to me, I'm still waiting for someone too. So say Colt, who has produced who knows how many 1911's is less superior in terms on workenmenship then Glock? Or how about Beretta, and the 92FS. Is its workmenship less then Glocks? I mean until someone can come with some hard facts, that Glocks are better then all. Rub your wittle Glock, and come with something better. I keep reading the same nonsense.Not to be sarcastic, but why are so many XDs for sale?
People want them.
Metal, non-metal, tenifered or blued, Americans like firearms.
In fact, no, we as a country LOVE our arms, and not just for the craftsmanship, although that does play a big part for me... it's what any piece represents - liberty. The ability to stand up to naked aggression, the ability to defend oneself, one's family and loved ones, one's property for which one has had to work so diligently... arms and the ability to wield them ensure our ability to exercise our other rights.... and for doing that job, I implicitly trust Glock - they've proven themselves in the fact that they've had to manufacture millions of pieces, which means that millions of people have trusted them just as I do. Their workmanship is second-to-none: they are the preferred sidearms of LEAs and standing armies alike, and they remain popular with private citizens as well. I like the low-maintenance of my G17 (my first piece for precisely that reason) as well as the reliability - short of putting it in a hottub, there's not much I could do to destroy it... I've yet to have it fire out-of-battery or fail to extract a shell. It is my Glock; there are many like it, but this one is mine.
SIG SAUER is a great brand; Taurus is a great brand. Glock is a great brand as well.... and when it all comes down to it, end-of-the-day, staring down the sights, I prefer Glock. Just personal preference, really.

And what Bigum1969 said, too.
