Found this on another board. From WTOV.

Thought some of you may find it interesting.

I have known about the Glock KaBooms for some time and have posted here about them. Glocks are famous for the KaBooms and Accidentle discharges, not a safe enough pistol for me to carry

Yeah, I like Glocks, but the fact that they can and will fire out of battery, has convinced me to sell mine off....

Counting down until the Glock apologists start running down every handgun design except the one that blew up. smile

I would say that I have heard about more Glock 21's having issues like these than any other model.

Wonder what the same circumstances with the same design but made of metal would have done?

I was present when two when up...one on a handload and one on a factory load...both were 19s in 9mm. A friend had his .40 S&W blow and it split the frame. Glock fixed it all back to new with no questions asked...

How are they going to fix you if it blows up on you when you need it most?

Make mine a 1911, thanks

I am no Glock fan, but I am not convinced that the Glock pistol is inherently flawed or dangerous.

That said, I would be inclined to eschew any Glock pistol chambered in the high pressure .40 S&W round ... and 'now' in the venerable old .45 ACP cartridge.

If I ever do buy a Glock, I'll buy mine in 9MM.
9MM's hardly ever hurt anybody ... on 'either' end.

Aw c'mon now ... You can still shoot your Glocks.

You just need to use some common sense is all, and take some precautions ...

If your right-handed, Shoot your Glock left-handed ... AND vice-versa.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

That way you can still live the rest of your life and be able to do some things like you used to ... if you still have one eye left.

...you are not going to endear yourself to any Glock fans with that one...but I must say that is the best solution to the Glock "problem" that I have ever read.... grin

I note they said this was the first time the pistol had ever been shot. Hmmmmm.
