As much FUN as I was having reading the posts, I thought I would weigh in. I confess...I'm Glock owner / carrier. I caught this bug back in the early nintys before there was a cure...I thought I would lighten the mood. Nice try. Anyways, I been a range instructor with all levels of handelers with all kinds of firearms. I have seen new recruits and old patrol dogs shoot alot of the combat tupperware. I have not witnessed a single unintended discharge. So this figures out to be something roughly like this. 20 +/- students per class X, 1000 rds per student per class, X 3 classes a year, times 8 years = 480,000 rounds, probabley a little less since the early nintys some still carried wheelguns, including me. Well, even half of that is a lot of rounds with a failure. I've had 50,000 rounds through my G with out a wrong bang. The only mishap that I heard of was Poor BasXXX. had deceided to field strip a G-22 with out unloading it, checking the chamber, removing the mag, racking the slide, visual and tactically feeling for an empty chamber. He sat down at a table with three others, pulled his G out pointed it towards the ground which was right down one of his legs and pulled the trigger. The .40 exited his foot and he spent many weeks in recuperation. Very easy for that to have been a fatal wound. But, how could that be a failure of the Glock? The man violated so many safety rules that this " accident " was only a matter of time. Not to be unsensitive to the guy but there it is. This guy could have hurt himself with anything that day. Just a thought, safety is between the ears not in the hand.
Kids, play nice.
