Anything made or used by a human being can fail. Except for my stuff when used by me.

I was thinking that the OP reminded me of someone that used to post here a lot, mostly in the rifles section, but could not quite put my finger on it. Then it dawned on me. The OP is the Swampman700 of the Handguns section! laugh

Maybe a new Taurus 24/7 would be just the ticket.

They are so cool, that even with the safety on, all you have to do is shake them and they will shoot!

Taurus appears to be on the ragged edge of innovation. Well hell, now I've got some Glock to get rid of.


Get that Taurus into the right shaky hands make that socker run full auto until it jams.

I like Glocks, I have had 8 over the years. I still have 5.

I like to check GT distributors site once in a while. They have early model (2.5?) model 23's for 279$. Slap a 9mm conversion barrel in it and poof, a Gen 2 19.

I can't verify the guy on Facebook is telling the truth. It was on the SCCY CPX1& CPX2 Blog. He didn't expound, we were discussing Quality and he just posted that The Glock he got did not have an Ejector in it, thereby trying to state that no Manufacturer today sells 100% perfect guns. I have no issue with Glock. They appear to be nice guns, but I don't have one so I can't judge. and I can't reasess my insinuation, because it's the same as saying that anybody on this forum should be suspect of what they post. You seem to have a lot of first hand info on the Glock's and I believe you. I believe the guy got a gun without an ejector also., Would you believe me if I told you I bought a new S&W Bodyguard from DFW Shooting Sports and the Thumb Safety was inoperable? Sent it back to S&W, it was fixed and now it is on the way back again, because now the trigger wont fire. That was three weeks ago. Now I'm waiting to get it back and see what else is going to be wrong.

So I guess nobody's perfect..... And despite the stuff I read on the 'net all I know is that I bought a brand new Gen 3 Glock 19 in Feb. of 2012 and it was all there and has functioned superbly ever since and is now approaching the 2000 rounds mark. But stuff still happens occasionally even though you can't always believe everything you read.

Glocks that are assembled according to specs are excellent, durable, and reliable weapons. It's rare indeed for one not to be built right from the factory, but it's ordinarily a simple matter of replacing the part to fix it.

Now, there were some problems with the early Gen Fours and the early 42s, but they were worked out.

Glock isn't really perfection. Pretty damn close to it, though.
