Are y'all a Glock Law Enforcement dealer??? If not do you know of one in the DFW area?

Sorry for the hijack attempt.

Not yet. We are in the process with Glock now. I'll let ya know.

LOL Who is "they"? Glock, being a very popular and good selling firearm, has been the butt of many alleged complaints from the .40 kabooms to every other malfunction you can imagine.

The 36's are no more prone than any other Glock to any malfunction.

We are a Glock dealer and I have heard zilch about a discontinuation. I will call tomorrow and ask though.

FWIW, I don't yet own a Glock as they do not fit my hand well, so I have no real vested interest in defending them. I just care about facts. ;)

I thoght of that as a possible cause and do have somewhat arthritic and week wrists. The thing that makes me discount that as the cause is I put over 250 rds through this gun without a single failure before I had the first FTE problem.

I have also never had a problem with my G19 after several thousand rounds, is the G36 more prone to this then the G19? Could I be "limp wristing'" in anticipation of the greater recoil of the .45 over the 9mm?

It could be. Easy way to eliminate that is to let somone else go to town on a box of ammo. :)

I know no one wants to hear this, and either even fewer admit to it even being a possibility.... but I see a LOT of Glocks on a daily basis.

The main cause of malfunctions I see on Glocks s limp wristing. If you do not have a firm enough shooting grip the frame will move, takng energy from the slide.

Have someone else you know that has a good solid grip shoot a box of rounds thru it.
