I have always kept my Glock so clean that you could wipe a patch and it would come out white.
Then I saw this http://www.theprepared.cacom/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=90&Item I know there are a million people out there that will say their gun is better, hey what ever works for you, all I am saying is that Glocks are reliable.

Me thinks you will find lots of links pointing to lots of different torture tests of different guns. Strangely, pretty much any modern pistol will perform the same.
I'm glad that you like your glock and historically, glock is a milestone in gun history, but sigs, xds, cz, etc... are all pretty much on par with it. |

They show a HK jamming up on the first test alone. I would love to see some tests.

When I was researching handguns this was the main reason I chose Glock plus my room mate had one and I chose the 23 which the FBI also issue if it's good for them then it is meet all of my needs.
True story I went shooting with a friend that had a Sig we went to shoot some steel so I was surprised at how well the Glock shot overall it was just as accurate as the sig that my friend shot. Also he is a better shooter than me so maybe I got lucky that day. |

Who would honestly think to put a gun in an oven, They really must have been starved for cabinet space. I think they should have listened to the NRA and not messed with somone elses gun. NOTE... it was broiled, not baked, thus it probably was nearing 600F.
"In the home at the time were the baby's teenage parents, his maternal grandmother, the grandmother's 13-year-old daughter; and another man. All lived at the home, police said." Thats also worthy of note, but the gun in the oven is almost rationilized in that enviorment.

Glocks are great! I own two of them.
The only issue I have is with the Glock fan boys that think their Glock is the end all of firearms. (see above) They believe that the USP/1911/Sig will immediately seize when dirty, where the Glock can be dropped out of a plane no problem. I think the Glock has become the handgun of choice for newbs. Most of the Glock fanboys have a lot to learn, and there is not much funnier than watching them try to justify why Glocks blow up in the operators hand more than any other handgun. |

This link has been posted before .Glocks are alright and I will agree that they seem to be the choice for newbs. Do I think they are the best pistol on the planet? No, I do not. If they are so great, why aren’t all the special ops guys using them? They fill a niche in the firearms market, but that is about it. And yes, I own a glock.

Love my Glocks. Have put 1000's of rounds through them without a single malfunction, misfire, or other problem. 1000's with only running a patch, or putting on some lubricant.
I figure the gun will wear out before I have to actually clean it. Could never say the same with my 1911's.

I heard someone say springfield has to pay some sort of royalty to Glock for the design of the XD, either arrived at "pre-court law suit" or as result of Glock lawyers. Rumor or fact? Either way, which would you pick of the two, an XD or Glock? I also saw that they are made in Croatia stamped on one I looked at.
I thought Springfield were made in USA? Does that term, "Made in USA" really mean anything anymore when it comes to quality handguns? Not that I am putting the XD in a "quality handgun" catagory. Gileas |

Wouldn't trust your life to a 1911? Please explain that to millions of vets of WWI, China Marines, South American and Carribean involvments, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and currently the US Marine Corps EF's.
NO other handgun can claim so much time in the mud and blood as a front line weapon. Real torture tests don't happen in a lab.

Not true. I did not say that only newbs buy them. I bought one and at the time I already owned multiple pistols. I stated that Glocks are popular with newbs to pistols. I have seen numerous "newbs" that were attracted to Glocks for various reasons such as reliability, simplicity and COST.

I guess it's a mater of what your flavor is, to think that any torture test is stupid is stupid with in it self. Be true to your self and gun how many rounds do you have through it and how many times have you jammed? Through my G17 I have about 7000+ rounds no malfunctions of any kind! My G21 4000+ rounds jammed on 185+P Hydroshock friend jammed on same lot using a G21 and like me it was the first and only time, it's safe to say that I will never load any kind of Hydroshock through my weapon, winchester T series ranger +P 230 and Golden Sabors 185+P for me. So be honest.... or call BS on me either way I know the truth Ps this includes cheap as Wolf ammo

I have had some failures in other handguns. Kimber 1911 would fail until I replaced the factory mags, Para Warthog was very sensitive to limp wristing, some issues with rimfire. I've been pretty lucky with reliability in general. Then again, I take great care of my stuff and never shoot any crappy ammo. |

Do glock barrels have a semi unsupported chamber? Yes do they blow up all the time like you are claiming? No....not even with thousand upon thousands of hot reloads You can use your 1911 when the zombies come....Ill be the one alive shooting at you after you turn into one of them ![]()

I have a glock 35 and when i here a bump in the night, i go right past the 12ga., and AR, i love that pistol and i trust my life to it. I almost bought a 1911, except i here that they are picky about the magazines you put in them, and there are alot of feeding issues... can any one clear that up? I have been told that from several individuals.

Seriously though, in your first post you said the reason for a high number of Glock KB reports is because there is more of them. As long as you are acknowledging that the loose chamber contributes to a increase probability of KB then I apologize for calling you a koolaid drinker. But hey, after the zombies kill me and the survivors find my body, they'll know I died with some class once they see the custom 1911 in my cold dead hand.
