I have owned two Glocks. One 9mm the other .40 S&W. Both bought new in the box. The 9mm stove piped every 3rd or 4th round with every kind of ammo I could dig up. I decided to try one in .40 S&W sometime after dumping the 9mm. The .40 S&W would light strike about every 3rd round, not even firing. So, they don't "always go bang". I wouldn't bet my life on one, nor even own another one.

A close friend is an NRA certified pistol instructor, who used to give courses at the local range. He said that without a doubt that Glocks were the worst pistols that he experienced for jams and mis-fires on the range.

I have another friend who is the Senior Training officer on the local police force. He was also the department armorer, when they went to Glocks. He told the Chief that he would resign before he would carry a Glock. He carries a Sig .40 and the force has the option of Glock or Sig for carry weapons. The majority of the old timers carry Sigs.

From what I have seen, heard and experienced, I would never own another...
