I'll start out by stating that 1911-pattern semis are my favorite handguns of all time (I love my Kimber TLE-II). Having said that, I like Glocks a lot and would really like to know what kind of failure you had with your Glock. My wife and I have both been certified Glock armorers for years and every function failure we've ever seen can be traced back to either a) poor maintenance, or b) pilot error.
As for full-auto Glocks, you can have 'em. Every time I've ever fired a Glock 18, I've come away with a back taste in my mouth. The cyclic is so high and the overall accuracy is so poor, the only thing you really accomplish making a lot of noise and wasting a lot of ammo in a remarkably short time. Full-auto handguns are, in general, about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. If forced to pick one, however, I'll go with a Beretta 93R. The fold-down front grip and burst fire feature at least provide a hope that you'll hit your target a couple times before the magazine runs dry.
