Has Your Glock or XD(m) Broke?

[Welding Rod]

Please read all choices before voting.

For this poll "Broke" means a part(s) physically broke, or part(s) wore to the point of functional problems on a formerly working gun.

Glock includes any model and "XD" includes XDms.

If something broke, please elaborate.

Of course not, it's a Glock.

I've had several of both varieties. The XDs & XDM have had no problems, but I don't shoot them that much. The glocks have had tons of rounds, and one of my G17s had the trigger return spring break. Quick, easy & cheap fix.

Wow! Polling by psychoactive.

If you've never broken anything on a firearm, you haven't shot it enough. On my personal Glock 19, this was a slide takedown tab retention spring. I went to reload the gun from slide lock, and when I released the slide it flew off the front of the frame, with the barrel and recoil spring still attached, into the dirt. (Even after it hit the dirt they still remained together.) I had it repaired and there were no further incidents. This was in the early 2000s. In 2007 I stopped by Glockmeister's table at the Phoenix gun show. I had some night sights installed and an inspection done. She said, "Hey, you've got that old style spring in there; there is a new style spring now." "That doesn't break? Put it in," I replied. An extended takedown tab (easier to grasp and pull down) accompanied it. (These, BTW, are the only modifications I've made to mine.)

"Hey, you've got that old style spring in there; there is a new style spring now."

The newer, wider spring is extremely durable. I'm not sure what Gaston was thinking when he spec'ed the older wasp tailed one.

is there some point to this poll?

 

[fedlaw]

The striker retaining pin broke on my XDm 3.8 9mm after 700 rds. + lots of dry firing. As always, Springfield repaired it quickly and it is again 100%.
My good buddy, ChuckB, kindly made up a bunch of dummy rounds for me to use when dry firing. Hopefully this will prevent any further problems.

If I went broke buying Glocks, which box do I check?

 

[JoeMal]

G17, over a year old, 4k rounds, no breaky. No problems whatsoever, actually.

I "have" a Glock G34, 2 pistol matches a month plus practice not any breakages or malfunctions. Don't want an XD anything, never will, but I do like SA 1911s. I may have the perfect tupperware pistol in the Glock, it is my 1 and only Glock I do not see any reason to get a Glock in a .40/.357, 10mm, or any .45 gap/acp. There are other choices some plastic some metal, Get what you like, shoot what you get, and quit whining that yours is better than mine... unless you can prove it with more than words it "ain't true".

My G22 has a few thousand rounds through it and I carry it every day for work. It's gone for a swim with me into a swamp/pond at a cemetery while chasing a burglary suspect and still functioned fine after that (regradless of the sludge and other nasty things that were in it). My G23 rtf2 is newer and prob has less than 1k rds through it. Neither has broken in any way, but both are fairly new and haven't worn out yet to much either.

 

[David E]

That gives me an idea for another poll:

Has your Glock or XD/ XD-m ever ka-boomed?............

 

[ScratchnDent]

XD, 10k+ rounds fired, never a single problem of any kind.

 

[Quack]

FWIW, i have 1911's, Sig's, HK's and a M&P-9Pro (as well as Glocks and XD/XD(m)) and those haven't broke either.

 

[Hanzo581]

XD45, close to a thousand rounds through it without a single hiccup.

 

[TexasRifleman]

.40 XDm with about 800 rounds through. No failures of any kind other than one FTF and that was mine, the primer was in backwards

 

[possum]

xd service model, currently over 17,500rds, I broke a trigger bar at the 4k rd mark, but it has been going strong ever since, and i have never had an issue with the other xd's that i own.

 

[Sgt_R]

G22 and G27, 2k+ rounds of mixed FMJ and JHP between the two, zero malfunctions of any kind. Have never owned an XD, I don't like the way they fit my hands.

G27 - Recoil Spring Assembly guide rod head broke within 4000 rounds. The next broke after 5000.

HS2000 (the XD in it's original form) - Been shooting it for 10 years now, over 80,000 rounds with zero failures not attributable to some of the cheapo ammo I've used. I shot the first 10,000 without cleaning just to see if it would die.

It hasn't.

 

[TomN]

I've owned a Glock 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 30, and a 34, and a full sized XD 9, .40, and .45, and never had anything break on them. Good guns.

 

[seed]

Lone Haranguer and Reaper4206969, could you post pictures and or point me to where I can see pictures of the old vs. new style slide lock leaf springs?

 

[sidheshooter]

Early 90's G19, trigger coil spring. Replaced by ny-1.

That's it.

^ lmao ^

I've only owned Glocks--None of them broke.
