Glock Being Dead Reliable...

[Canadadry]

My CZ rami is smaller, 10 rd mags has better trigger, very reliable. The glocks have poor triggers and is larger.

Glocks don't have poor triggers. A lot of people including myself like 1911s because the trigger is a crutch. However, there is nothing wrong with a Glock trigger.

This thread is the worst. The OP started a thread that basically said, the gun fails because of user error. Any gun can fail because of user error.

I would also think that in a gunfight, your not going to limp wrist your gun. It more like you'll have a death grip on your gun due to adrenalin.

I had a G17 with the ejector / extractor issue... All I can say is that gun was ANYTHING but reliable. I got it sorted out, but it was a pain in the ***.. one out of six glocks I own had a problem, the others have been dead reliable.

Hmm. Interesting. I've owned a total of about 9 glocks, never had a single issue. We're the 2 usa glocks?

I actually like factory Glock trigger.. p320, vp9, and Glock have all decent trigger. Especially for carry and duty purpose.

1911 trigger a crutch? Guess there are a bunch of rifles that have crutches too. Next thing you know everyone will want a Glock trigger on their precision target rifles.

Ive seen a couple people get limp wrist failures but ONLY while shoot very weak 115gr ammo. Load them with some quality ammo and problem solved.

Sure there are other guns that can shoot wimpy loads all day, but really who cares? And more importantly, any shooting wimpy loads in a self defense situation gets what they prepared for.

Saw a noob with an instructor at the range shooting a Glock 23. I noticed that he limp-wristed and thought haha a Glock and limp wristing are not compatible. Lo and behold several rounds later, it jammed.

Obviously that wasn't much of an instructor if he allowed the noob to go through 'several rounds' without stopping and teaching a proper grip.

There is a known / documented issue with some late model 3rd gen glocks and their extractor / ejectors.. Mine would fail to extract / eject, which would cause fail to feed etc.. Brass to the face all that ****. It was terrible. But switching the ejector out for the newer style, installing the Apex Tactical failure resistant extractor and a few other things got it to become a reliable firearm. Now that it has several thousand rounds through it I feel I can trust it, but it is primarily a range gun to this day because of what it put me through..

I see. I had actually forgot about an extra g22 and 2 other g 17s I previously had as well, so it was about 12 glocks I've owned. I had fired all except 1, a g19. Never had brass to face or none of that. I have heard about it previously, but never personally knew anyone that experienced it.


I've also heard using a wml on a .40 glock causes jams, so I don't use my wml on my bedside g22

Like I said I currently have two Glock 43's, three Glock 17's and two Glock 21sf's.. I have owned another Glock 21 Gen4, a gen 3 21 and a 26 as well.. So let's see, that's 10.. No problems with any but that one particular Gen-3 17... Total cost to fix was ~$80 and a LOT of frustration with that gun and I wouldn't sell it to anybody else after what I experienced with it. Just cause you've never had a problem with yours doesn't mean nobody else has.

I see it all the time, Glocks are damn reliable. I am not debating that when shot properly. I then see that glocks jam when limp wristed. That is fine at the range, but when in self defense, a limp wrist might be the only option.

One handed, on the ground of so and it would be easy to limp wrist.

Would this show that the glock is not reliable?




*not a glock hater or glock lover. Just not enough trigger time on a glock to get a good opinion.

Probably depends on the gun. My G36 stovepiped a few times in the first 100 rounds, but not once since. Now I can't get it to jam if I tried. Never had a limp-wrist-related jam on any other glocks. My G29 jammed a couple times due to a weak factory recoil spring and hot ammo, but that's been rectified and never jammed since.

I think these Glock haters are funny.

I have kids that cant hammer a 16 penny nail without bending it... Should i blame it on the hammer?

And thats how I think of a Glock... A hammer.

Great post Envelope....

Really, they're just P.O.'d that they bought a Glock and it didn't make them a tier 1 Operator.

They're also P.O.'d because the beer they bought didn't make them attractive to women.

Hardly a hater, I own several.. Just sayin' they aren't perfect, nor do I expect perfection from a mass-produced firearm that costs $500..

Nothing is 100% reliable.

[stilly]

It is still easier to clear a malfunction in a semi auto than it is to load a revolver after just 6 rounds of shooting.

Honestly, my Glock 23 has a better reliability record than any of the revolvers I own, and the cylinder will lock up on those after a few hundred rounds of shooting unlike the Glock which is almost to 2k without a cleaning and not a single malfunction.

Then you are doing it wrong. I buy nothing less than 8 rd revolvers now... If I can not hit within that range then I move to the katana... No reloading there.
