Hi Folks, the Glocks work underwater as long as they got a small hole in the slide to get the water contained in the firing pin channel out when the firing pin is moving forward. this was discovered around 1983/84 after a belgian journalist in shooters' magazine " AMI " who was a former airborne and scuba diver made tests with various weapons including newly arrived Glocks; french frogmen had long practiced underwater shooting with 1911, it loses power after a few meters, I don't know about accuracy after such a treatment....
