Re: cant make up my mind glock or 1911
You cant go wrong with either choice, the market is flooded with tons parts for both of those guns so customization will not be an issue. I have both, but i personally prefer my 1911.
Re: Best .308 for under $3500?
I have had very good all round experiences with the AIAE mk2, but it depends on what kind of shooting you intend on doing, such as F class T/R or palma.
