This guy beats the crud out of his Glock 21 and it keeps going
He even shoots it with a .22, drops it from a plane, ect

Yeah, I've seen that. Truly remarkable.

That's why when the Zombie Apocalypse comes, I'll have a Glock on my side (and probably a Mossberg 500 in my hands - love my AR and all, but just not sure how long it will last once cleaning kits and gun oil become more difficult to find)

That guy is sick. You should NEVER mistreat a fine tool like that, EVER. :banghead:

I need to take all of his guns away from him and keep them if he can't take any better care of them than that. :thumbs2: :mrgreen:

We all know a Glock will withstand that. I am wanting to see similar tests on other firearms and see what there threshold of functionality is.

But that's just wrong on about 3 levels. Nobody but an idiot actually treats their guns that badly, so I find those kinds of torture tests to be somewhat irrelevant. I generally like the Glock platform, but I take good care of all my pistols, and they all function well.

Dang, all I've ever done is shoot my G19 and it still managed to chip an extractor, break the slide and chew up a striker and FP safety in the past year. I guess I'm not treating it rough enough.

IMHO, the torture test guy is just playing. The mil doesn't T+E guns that way, the Feds don't T+E guns that way and they both have a lot more riding on the outcome than this guy.

Aha! Not so fast. Check out this torture test of the XD. Now, I've never shot a Glock, so I don't have anything negative to say about them. I chose the XD for fit and features. But this XD torture test article helped.
