Fake. Definitely fake.
Not that they are likely to ever product a 1911, but if they did it would have a polymer frame and be called the G40 (the newest model Glock pistol is the G39 and hatever it may be, the next is expected to be called the G40).
[ Many thanks to wizemanful for emailing me the photo. ]
Fake. I can tell from the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
2 
0A total photoshopped fake.
1). The glock logo at the front, part of the “k” has been cloned out and corrected by mouse.
2). Hot pixels around the 1911
3). The “A” on Austria; the bottom part has been cloned out.
4). the Glock logo on the grip isn’t on the correct horizontal plane in relation to the pistol’s slant.
2 0i own almost all the glock pistols and i think they are tho most reliable pistols out there. my model 22 has 30,000 rounds put through it witl the factory barrel and it still knocks nails. I think a 1911 glock would be awsome i would buy one for sure.
2 0Lolz! This is hilarious, the obvious culmination of two such iconic brands must be a wet dream to some people. The ergos of the 1911 and the reliability of the Glock producing a firearm much greater then the sum of it’s parts.
However, after watching ‘The Expendables’, combining all of your favorite things into one package doesn’t always equate to quality.
1 0If they made one, I would buy it. That’s the only way I’d own a Glock. It has a very good operating system and functionality, but it just doesn’t fit my hand. Glock makes a 1911, I’ll own a Glock.
1 0Every gun nut should recognize hand & sleeve as belonging to Ken Lunde’s father at Shot Show 2010. Gun is an Ed Brown Molon Labe Special. See here for the original picture:

1 0The only thing the 1911 really has going for it is the trigger. So what’s left for Glock is to provide an overhauled better trigger.
1 0I almost had an aneurysm…
What about that Glock assault rifle?
1 0Wish it was real!
1 0Reminds me of the obscene amounts of HK 1911 skins for Counter-Strike: Source. Some people would reskin the Desert Eagle to look like a 1911 that looks very similar to the one above, just with HK trademarks, for some reason.

LOL
Oh, that’s just terrible

0 0They’d need to square up some of those curves if it were real.
0 0@SPQR, Lol.
I think a glock 1911 would be awesome! It would end the “glock vs 1911″ debate forever. My only question is, who wins if glock makes a 1911? The 1911 guys? Or the glock fanboys?
0 0Definitely FAKE. You can tell its been photoshopped. What ever gun brand this really is, you can see that they are also advertising this gun in Stainless; per the poster in the rear. I dont think Glock would do a stainless one.
0 0@Jeremiah
I think everybody wins, lol!
0 0who would do that to a perfectly good 1911
1 1@Nicks87: That’s why there are so many different anythings. Food, the way food is prepared, firearms, operating systems, motorcycles, cars, name it. I prefer this, you’d rather have that. Long live difference!
0 0@SPWR
I’m not surprised Ruger did. They’re getting into markets that they’ve never been in before (striker fired pistols, ARs, hi-cap mags, scout rifles).
0 0There were two companies I thought would never produce a 1911 copy: Ruger and Glock … and see where that got me.
0 0Rather nice ‘shop effort. From what I’ve been able to find elsewhere on the web, this is from an Ed Brown Molon Labe 1911 promo shot. Fun pic, though.
0 0it does look nice.
0 0Please, please, please be real….
I would like one, but i hope their no polymer.
0 0OMG! That’s FUNNY!
0 0That looks very much like a sig 1911 XO
0 0Can’t tell if it’s ‘shopped or if it’s just a really good custom job. Looks really cool either way…
0 0The only way the above is possible if Glock somehow figured out a way to make polymer look like steel.
0 0It’s real.
0 0While that one is fake, how long before someone is inspired to make one?
0 0The Glock VS 1911 discussion is forever chambered. Meet the G40.
0 0Well that’s 7 different levels of firearms blasphemy…
0 0Whoever did that certainly did a nice job (photo shop or otherwise.) But they really should have added a Glock trigger safety lever (even if entirely cosmetic) for full effect.

Aww, cmon, I know some of you would carry it just to be “that guy” at the range. I would. The G41 Concealed Commander would be a major seller.
They should field a competition team. Imagine the headline and photos of winning major matches with a plastic 1911. Todd Jarrett with an evil smile leering over a closeup view with all the slide markings.
This one peek presold 50,000. Every Glock owner with a chunk of change burning in his pocket would open carry it whenever he could. No Texas barbecue would be safe. The homeowner would need to add doorcheckers on loan from the TSA to enforce a “Steel only” dress code.
“I’ll never buy Tupperware!” would be as truthful as a NY politician claiming he never tweeted personal photos. Yeaahh, sure.
Glock now has a seriously presold market to deny getting out of this. Talk about a market test. Distributors coming to Glock with orders of 1,000 units are really no laughing matter. The whole kink is it would take minimum 24 months to ship once Gaston signs off.
0 0Doesn’t look uncomfortable enough to be a glock.
0 0I wouldn’t mindd a polymer single stack, or a double stack that took glock mags. Of course then the grip angle would be all whacked out, but it’s not like the 356 other companies making 1911 clones have it perfect either.

Only way I’d ever buy another 1911 is if it were made by Glock.
Go figure.
