Glock Flunks Reliability Test

Since Wild Romanian fails to address questions that are specifically directed to him, I will no longer address Wild Romanian or his posts.

His views and opinions are so extreme as to be comical. As far as I'm concerned he no longer exists.

This seems rather typical of 1911 fanatics. They really hate Glocks with a passion. Why? Well, because the Glock works, and it is a threat somehow to their beloved 1911.
If the Glock really was such a crappy gun, then 1911 fanatics would not be so touchy about them. 1911 fanatics spend so much time ripping on Glocks it makes it obvious that they know Glocks are a very good combat firearm that work extremely well.

Personally, I prefer a 1911 lately, but I do really get sick of the "elite" 1911 fanatics that feel the need to snub their nose at other designs.

Who ever said that your manhood depends on what someone else carries anyway? Why spend so much time putting down what someone else chooses to defend themselves with?
Just carry what you like and be secure in it.
 
If you want reliability, ditch the 1911 and Glock and get a Sig Sauer or HK....

I have no problems with sigs or HK's although I sold my HK USP in 45 and all my sigs but my 229 sport. They are just not the gun that a glock is overall. Their not bad just not the best.

There's that silly "best" word again. Glocks are "best" for who? "Best" for what?

Remember when the wannabe specops guy in Ronin was pressing Robert DeNiro's character about what his "favorite" gun was? He responded "It's like a toolbox. You pick the right tool for the job". It was pretty apparent right then which one was the professional and which one was the armchair commando.
 
This post should be renamed "Wild Romanian 'information' Flunks Reliability Test". I hate to give it enough credibility to respond but let's assume that anyone careless enough not to make a perfect reload every time, or idiotic enough to even chamber a round with a known high primer wouldn't exactly duplicate the same primer condition the second time, especially when they are trying to "prove" what they want to. I can see a loose primer pocket allowing the closing slide to seat the primer enough for the firing pin to drive it the rest of the way to seat on the case. Are we talking .45 vs .45? Same brass? Sure you didn't skew the process enough to 'help' the Glock misfire? WR mixes enough obvious truth in his posts (stuff most anybody knows already) to give his posts the surface appearance of a carefully thought out discertation, but they all average out to hollow BS.
Just got back from taking the kids trick or treating and I guess I'm on a chocolate high, but his posts have irritated me for some time and I just couldn't stop my fingers.

355sigfan, I wasn't referring to your post when I said "Ditch the 1911 and Glock". I was only ribbing WR because some are saying the 1911 is outdated and some are saying the Glock has a weak striker. I have one of all of the above mentioned guns and I like them all for different reasons. I ususally carry a Glock 27 in my pocket. I say "to each his own."
 
The only thing I have gotten out of this thread is sometimes we feel like a Glock and sometimes we don't. Some people like .45s and some don't. My reloads always fire in my Glock, Sig and Smith, but then I'm not a nut. This post makes about as much sense as this topic. MWT
 
Wow

Is this going to turn into the Mother of All Threads? Does Wild Pomeranian, I mean Romanian, have this much sway over Glock sales? What will Mr Gaston Glock do when he realizes his arch nemesis is turning the tide of sales away from Glock and back to the 1911? Stay tuned. Inquiring minds want to know.

Tamara,

Beware using films to illustrate a point. Don't forget that in the same film DeNiro later tells Jean Reno that the bullet penetrated his armored vest because "the f%#@ sprayed it [the bullet] with Teflon." I really like that film, but it's fantasy. Lots of people have what they consider a "best" because if that wasn't the case then we'd have no standards by which to judge the mediocre or the worst. :p
 
It's like a toolbox. You pick the right tool for the job". It was pretty apparent right then which one was the professional and which one was the armchair commando.

Guns are tools. But in the end a sig 229 and a glock 31 fit the same tactical nitch its a matter of determining which one is the better tool. Now a glock 31 and a CAR 15 are different tools for different needs.

While it is true that Glocks will work with the right commercial ammo they are not to be relied on under extemely rugged circumstances such as found in combat when the pisol would be subjected to dirt , mud , freezing temperatures, hard military type primers, lack of proper cleaning or defective ammo.

Glocks have been tested under extreme conditions more often than anyone can count. Now, the military, FBI, majority of Law Enforcement, DEA, etc, etc, are suppose to stop everything because some bozo that doesn't know how to load primers say's a Glock won't shoot his crap ammo.

HA HA HA HA HA HA :D :eek:

A Glock will shoot under extreme conditions far better than any 1911. They are built for that purpose. While the 1911 is a fine pistol it is prone to jamming unless thoroughly modified by one of the quality 1911 clone makers.

What I find funny is if you opened a thread that said "1911's suck" you would have 100's of post to the contrary yet in this thread hardly any of them have even responded.

Final Conclusion:
The only one who thinks your discovery is brilliant........is you.
 
I just discovered that my P7M8 has a striker. I'm sending it back to HK for a hammer before I end up in combat with suspect reloads.
 
Wow. I had no idea that the failure of my Glock to fire faulty ammunition was putting me at risk daily.

The things you learn.

Relax, guys. I think WR has been huffing way too much Hoppe's #9 lately.

We have to cut a little slack to those with diminished mental capacities.
 
You know, this thread inspired me to do my own reliability test on my Springfield MilSpec 1911A1.

So, I got out the 25 pound sledge hammer, and bashed the 1911 repeatedly on all sides.

Then I attempted to load and fire it.

Imagine my horror when it wouldn't fire!

From this, I can only conclude that the 1911 design is the single most UNreliable gun ever manufactured!
 
BTW, why are you using your 1911 if it is your primary self-defense weapon?

In another post, you stated that no one should practice with their CCW guns since they will wear out and break faster. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!
