Perhaps someday we'll be able to buy a Glock with both a grip safety and a thumb safety. With a short, crisp trigger. Metal instead of polymer. The ability...

... You didn't say what went wrong with the OM and GM, but the night sight falling off is hardly a defect in the design of the 1911. MY 1911 has about 22,000...
... Most assuredly. The OM and GM were, in my opinion, more ammo related, than gun related. I was just re-stirring the pot. ... Steve www.f-r-i.com -- No virus...
To re-stir the "ammo" pot, what's up with Glocks coming apart in the shooter's hand. I witnessed one of these at an IPSC match, a blowup that destroyed...
Look, I put 15,000 rounds through my Glock 35 (.40 S&W), 20,000 rounds through my 34 (9mm) and 1500 rounds through my 23 (.40 S&W). I have had maybe 2-3 ...
I have "heard" (unconfirmed) of two .40's KB'ing in the hands of L.E. with factory ammo. Both allegedly unload and safe their gun at night after they get off,...

I think what he is trying to say is that no matter if you shoot a Glock, any 1911 Clone or maybe even a revolver there is always the possible of a malfunction....

... It is possible that these KB's are caused by bad handloads, does this mean only Glocks are using handloads? Jim -- "Government must defend us against...
That happened, but what also happened is that PD refused to send the gun to Glock for analysis, which opened the door for many to theorize there was more to...
This can be an issue with any pistol. The act of striping the round out of the mag and chambering several times can defeat most crimps and cause it to go boom!...
No I am not saying that, I am sure you have heard of KBs in other guns right? I have seen two pretty nasty incidents where a "manufacturer shall not be named"...
Yes, if I recall with this particular incident the local PD would not send the gun back to Glock for inspection, and there were some rumors spread that the ...
Well the truth of the matter is that the Glock is a fine weapon as is the 1911. They both have short comings. Since "safe action pistols" have been on the...

Patrick, I agree with this. And I would point out that the officer involved WAS negligent, in that he allowed a part of his jacket to become entangled in his...
I can agree to that. Lat year at nats we had a person on the stage I was working get his vest caught in with firearm. Buzzer goes off and all I see is gun...
I don't hate Glocks. A gun, any gun, is simply a tool. It's only as safe as the end-user. When a co-worker wanted to get his CWP and start carrying I...
