Back to back Glock croaks this week
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2023 10:47 pm
Some bad news for the die hard Glockers. Both of my last 2 people with them had failures. Yep, rare, but it happens.
First guy was doing a retired LEO qual with a Model 19. Slide locked back after first shot on the first 2 shots of a 1 shot drill. He and the guy in the other lane doing the same qual were both in a hurry to get er done and go elsewhere. I happened to be carrying Springfield XD9M at the time and let him rock and roll through the next 48 rounds with it.
Gentleman today had 8 year old Model 22. Was shooting Federal factory .40 180 grainers. Case head ruptured and blew out the magazine and the extractor. Thankfully, no injuries - other than his pride. I sent a pic to a cop instructor buddy and told him that a gunsmith already had it put back together. His reply: "Don't stand on the right side of the gun when he comes back."
