That's a terrible analogy. The Glock is the King of its class in the various gun games. That would make it the firearm equivalent of a race car.
Nah, his analogy is spot on. (Calling a Hi Point a BMW is very questionable, however).That's a terrible analogy. The Glock is the King of its class in the various gun games. That would make it the firearm equivalent of a race car.
Eh, not really.The Glock is the King of its class in the various gun games. That would make it the firearm equivalent of a race car.

I'm pretty sure that the BATF has classified the Glock Safe-Action as DAO...it is what qualified them for a lot of their LE contracts

This was my error, they were invited and declined to participate. According to:
Kasler, Peter Alan: Glock: The New Wave in Combat Handguns, page 2. Paladin Press, 1992...via Wiki

In late 1983, the United States Department of Defense inquired about the Glock pistol and received four samples of the Glock 17 for unofficial evaluation. Glock was then invited to participate in the XM9 Personal Defense Pistol Trials, but declined because the DOD specifications would require extensive retooling of production equipment and providing 35 test samples in an unrealistic time frame.
But you need to go to the dealer to read the OBD when you get a check engine light (as with other high end cars). You can get a code reader for the Crown Vic anywhere.
Now.... Why dont they have BMWS? They are fast and will obviously get the job done way quicker.
Ergonomics is not one of their strong points
I don't know of any "unreliable" factory stock guns. If a gun is kept clean and the springs are changed occasionally, they seem to run forever.
It depends on what tests you do. Glocks will consistently jam when limp-wristed, while most other pistols won't. That may not seem important until you find yourself with a bullet through one of your arms, or shooting around an obstacle while somebody shoots at you.
hey're reasonably comfortable to hold and easy enough to control, but let's not pretend they're in the same league as, for instance, a Beretta 92, Hi-Power, or CZ 75.
You haven't handled many pistols...have good ergonomics

Refer to Post #10I think the GLOCK because its all tenifer coated is probably the ONLY one you could dunk and Decontaminate w/o consequences.
