%$^& GLOCKS!!!

[jonzer77]

U guys are missing out. all those glock clones but none of the original.

Is it still considered a clone when you do it better?

Where did the OP go? Have you tried feeding that thing different ammo?

He got bored with the nauseating repetition on this thread and left three days ago...

I have a few guns that have never fired a single round of factory ammo. I haven't had a single problem with any of them.

That sounds like my entire pistol collection at the moment.

[deephouse]

The drama. I love it. So much energy spent trying to prove one's point. It's hyphy up in here.

[gesundheit]

OP, your Glock is kaput. You are right in that it is a complete POS. I will pay you one dolla!

[reznunt]

I use bulletmans reloads in my G19, functions fine.

ditto, went through a case without any issues.

[MCM]

Not all that uncommon to get a bad batch of reloads........
The sale stuff seems to have more issues as well.
Sent a batch of .38's back last month.
Hard primers & stinky powder......... Some rounds barley popped & others were like a .357. Quite exiting Pop, pop, BOOM! CLICK, Pop.
Seems silly we are even talking about a batch of reloads not cycling a semi auto. Its 101 basic pistol ownership. Any brand any day.
Kind of funny it turned into brand warfare.. LOL LOL

I own four Glocks. I love them. Are they 100% perfect? Nope?

Is my self identity and self esteem attached to the performance of Glocks? Nope?

Do I have guns for personal protection to potentially save my life? Yes.

Do I budget my ammo expenses and training based on how much I value my life and my loved ones? Yes.

If your Glock sucks, sell it and buy another gun. Sometimes a Glock does suck. Get over it. Same with TV's, washers and dryers, cars, and every other piece of machinery and technology. Ever have a bad day at work and mess up something?

What was the purpose of you getting this 17L? Plinker? Target practice? USPSA?

But stop living in victim land and whining about how Glocks should shoot any ammo even if you limpwrist it.

Guns are for men and women who take responsibility for their lives. Man up. Geesh.

This thread was entertaining.

OP. You are coming up on a week since you started this topic. Better post an update before more people get their pitchforks and torches.

Just to play Devil's Advocate...

Is there another semi automatic that you can "hold wrong" and produce consistent failures?

I had never heard of 'limpwristing' a pistol before Glocks came along.

[coy80176]

Get a wheel gun...

you're welcome.

Then, send me your Glock...

thank you.

Sure there are. Ive seen XDs do it. I learned to hold a firearm correctly before gaston glock tried to make his first handgun. Ive only seen the "problem" in people who dont hold firearms correctly.

Can you choose a firearm to compensate for your incorrect handling? Sure you can, if thats the way you want to go.

if you understand the mechanics and physics, its a function of polymer or other very light frames. Its not a design flaw, its physics.

[kpblade]

There's a simple fix to that problem. Take a crap in the morning

But.. I paid 699 + tax + DROS for my G41. A shame that we can't get it via GSSF ($507).

I got my G41, blue label gun, using GSSF for $507+ tax+DROS. It was SSE (no charge) via Addax Tactical in So Cal.

But can't the decision to go with polymer be considered a physics-related design flaw?

Plastic guns . . . (*shudder*)
