If this is in the wrong thread just let me know or move it as I didn't see any other appropriate forum.
So I've been around guns most of my life, back when I was a kid and my father worked for the NYPD in Park Slope. Since then, though, I haven't been "in the loop" but have definitely seen/heard the debates about glocks and steel and plastic and blah the list goes on.
To be honest, I like the look of a Glock, but nothing says "HAYYYYY" like a solid commander-1911. Thing is, I don't have $1,000's for a pistol, and I've seen some impressive things done with glocks (buried for years and power-cycled, ect)
So, I want something that looks solid in a nice holster, looking like they were "made" for eachother type deal. What would be the recommendation? I don't want some cheap ugly looking pistol, something with some solid sharp looks that's affordable whether new or used. Thanks for any feedback on my dilemma.
