Glock 21 Pistol Explodes In Deputy's Hand

[sniper7]

Just a reminder,,into the waaay back machine,
.
When in the Corps, we did the transition from the 1911A1 to the M9 Beretta,M92.
Well we had a few slides fly off,cracked frames. Hands scarred and even a few teeth extracted via flying slides.

All later was due to the fact the Corps got a great deal on IMI TZZ ammo.
Made for Uzis,kinda hot for those M9s.

yes that was an ammo issue when the 92F was issued. the S came out with a safety slide stop that prevented the slide from blowing back in case the wrong ammo was issued.
the military soon after also changed the 9mm load since it was too hot.
Beretta ran 12 pistols 20,000 rounds with the correct ammo and didn't have any slides blow back or cracked frames.

still the 92FS came to be so they all have slide stops on them now.

When I went through the Armorers school for Glock Ka-booms were discussed. Prevailing cause was the fact of people shooting cast lead bullets from the polygonal rifled barrel. It will cause a pressure spike and can cause the barrel to fail...........

isn't there also excess room in the chamber where the case is slightly unsupported and weak spots within that chamber as well. particularly on the .40

It isn't an issue of people hating Glock. It is an issue of people getting tired of hearing how wonderful the pistols are when in reality they aren't significantly better than every other gun.

That is also a very good point. thnxs

That is why I don't own a glock. I hear about 10:1 blowup stories of glocks compared to other guns.

And they are usually 10:1 BS.

I'l say it again, glocks are awesome.

I carry a G36, keep a G17 on hand at home.

I've got several makes of pistols, they're all great, but if I was heading for a for-real fight my glock would be my first choice.
