I took apart my beloved Glock 30, and also took apart my beloved Colt Commander to look at the chambers.
I love them both, but carry the Glock because it goes "bang" every time I pull the trigger and hits where I aim it.
I was wondering about this "unsupported chamber" deal. In my example, it *appears* to my untrained eye that the Commander has much more chamber support than the Glock.
I hate to say this because I don't want to fuel the fires about this Glock kB crap which is almost %100 reloaded ammo that is suspect, and Glocks are not the only guns to blow.
But, I have a question, because most people say that the 1911 chamber is unsupported and so is the Glock's. This makes people wonder why Glock's have been blamed for having an unsupported chamber, but 1911's generally are not blamed for this. But, it appears to me that the 1911 has much more chamber support in the 6 O'Clock position than the Glock 30 does. (For the record, there have been no Glock 30 kB's, but it is the only one Glock .45 I have).
So, is there some reason why my Commander chamber looks much more supported than my Glock? Is the 1911 chamber much more supported than the Glock as it appears to me?
Ps- Haven't many 1911's blown up with bad reloads before?
