Glock trigger torture test

[DJBSR]

he blew the dirt off at least, that constitutes a cleaning.

Man, I wouldn't do that to a gun of mine if I had three more just like it.

"Wow. I can't believe I just did that." No kidding!

I would never do that to my G19...and now I don't have to

[nick]

Is it me, or did they guy actually not chamber the round?

He did not. The test was to show if the trigger will be accidentally pull after you drag it through dirt road. If the trigger was pulled/drop, and without a live round in it, trigger will be in rear position.

I just picked up my Glock 19 yesterday...

I'm a revolver guy, and I don't understand all the talk of "unsafe Glocks".

My revolvers have no external safeties. Just pull the trigger and it fires - just like a Glock... The Glock had 3 "internal" safeties, just no external.

In fact, that's one of the reasons I got a Glock and not a 1911-style semi-auto. Once a round is chambered, just pull the trigger and it fires.

I suppose the "external" safety on a Glock is... me not pulling the trigger!

So awesome.

I LOLed when banjo musics came out.

Poor Glock.

[Gryff]

Should have done the test with a squib load in the gun.

I don't get what this video proved? After running through this test, the Glock had trigger damage or whatever causing a 20 lbs pull. The guy could hardly pull the trigger himself afterwards. Running it around behind a truck in this condition will not cause a 20 lbs trigger to go off unless you're running it through a field of spikes. Under standard operation, a clean Glock will not go off. If you're handling it unsafely, or holster it unsafely, you might just get a bang. Safety's in your head. Once again, I just don't get this video.

if you listen to his podcast his original intent was to prove to himself that the gun would not go off on its own. He was carrying it with an unloaded chamber for a while because he didnt trust the safety. I think this somewhat proved that, albeit poorly.

The gun was banged up pretty well.
The striker did not fall.

[PolishMike]

anyone notice what he has holstered? lol

I believe the point of the video was to show, tripping and losing your grip on the firearm would likely not cause it to discharge, dispelling the myth to a certain degree. Of course anything can happen, he just wanted to see if it had a high chance of occurring or a more obscure chance.
