if your bulky ccw pc gets spotted, and have a big enough hand to handle a double stack, you probably will never get good enough to notice that the alloy compact 1911 is a bit better in all respects than is a Glock. 
A Glock is rather like a revolver. If you WORK hard enough,long enough, you can get either of those pcs, or indeed, even a DA-SA Beretta to turn in scores that are ALMOST as good as the very best men turn in with an alloy compact 1911. However, one is left wondering why anyone bothers to do all the extra work, to end up in second place.
Yes, you can get a horse to do certain somewhat interesting things, but it's never going to beat even a Model A Ford in a cross country race, assuming a good mechanic is driving and he knows enough to take along an adequate supply of spare parts. In fact,the horse will be run to death the first day, trying to keep up with the obsolete old clunker Ford.
Yes, the horse can go SOME places that the car cannot, but virtually no place that a mountain bicycle cant. Yes, the 9mm Glocks are very durable, when shooting that pantywaist load. I've not heard similar claims about the .45 Glock, however.
In any case, if you can afford enough 12c per shot ammo to wear out a practice-type gun, you can also afford another such gun. A typical practice gun is $600 or less, and that's only 5000 such rds. So the guys who shoot that much or more per year, obviously also afford a new gun every few years. You don't HAVE to shoot more than 2000 or so CENTERFIRE handgun rds a year, to MAINTAIN A class, realistic shooting ability. So if you DO shoot that much, it's just for FUN, and you should adjust the amounts of fun according to your budget.
