The Tupperware guns are surely indestructible and light weight, and you can put them in the dishwasher at night for cleaning

I've never had opportunity to carry all day and in Kanuckistan, never will. It might change my views some, but I expect I'd be pre disposed to go to a light weight commander style 1911 and a Les Baer would be my top choice given the utter reliability of my present one. I will admit that I am very biased toward single stack single action autoloaders. I know Glocks are good guns but I just can't bring myself to like 'em very much.

WRT to modern IPSC, it has become a sport tilted toward gamers vs the practical shooting it was originally intended to emulate. Word has it that the gamer side of IPSC spawned IDPA to try to get closer to the original intent of IPSC.
