For the GLOCK owners!

[Jaybird1980]

For a company that advertise as perfection it sure has a lot of parts that need replaced with aftermarket parts to get that way.

My CZ P10F is better than any Glock 9mm out of the box. Has great chamber support as well.

I agree, my CZ 75 is hands down a better pistol for me. I switched to glock for competition becaue i can keep a few spare parts and a couple of tools, and take it apart and fix it pretty easy, and parts availability. Can't do that with the CZ, Thats where glock shines for me

I think that making an assertion that is provably untrue and not providing evidence to back it up deserves to have BS called on it. Of course, that seems to be the societal trend lately so maybe it’s ok. Should I be calling it fake news? He just said all he’s doing is bashing, so as I said, I’ll bow out of this “discussion” now.

So you think they are okay with unsupported chambers?

I didn't say all I was doing is bashing I am addressing something Glock is truly faulty on and that is chamber support. They need a good bashing if that improves the chamber support of their larger caliber firearms. Again I own a glock but I'm not blinded by fan boy blinders.

Class Action Lawsuit:

Gun owners urge court to certify Glock defect class action

Glock guns reportedly suffer a defect which cause the firearms to become dangerous and unfit for use, according to a recent class action lawsuit.

Never had any issues with any of mine. Run like a well oiled sewing machine. Just louder

Glock has been improving their chamber support over the years after they had some issues with the .40's.

 

[glockman49]

All semi-autos have some degree of "un-supported" As you can see, aftermarket barrels really don't have that much more, and the drop ins are no more accurate than the OEM. If you want to shoot lead, then an aftermarket is a good choice because it's way easier to clean than the OEM and the build up is not an issue. I found this pic of some name brand oem barrels to compare to Glock.

My G20 Gen 3 chamber looks identical to the 1998 chamber. So it is the older chamber support. I definitely need to upgrade my barrel.

True Glock Lovers are a hard core breed. ! Just FYI I own NO other. Nothing against those who do. To each there own.

That's a Glock smile. You decide if you think its dangerous to have unsupported brass.

The 10mm with stock barrels do this alot. I load just under that point. Save my brass.

Maybe it's time for me to get a KKM or Wolff barrel.

Never heard the unsupported chamber issue called the Glock smile. This is what I thought was the Glock smile.

Like I said kkm or LW barrel will fix a glock chamber support problem. Just another add on to a glock to make it a good gun. Because out of the box it's absolutely horrible. Thus the flooded aftermarket add on for glocks flourishes. Replace the barrel, trigger, sights, and recoil rod and spring and you have a good Glock.

Wow dad, sounds like you got a big ol' rotten case of GDS?

It's a shame the numbers don't agree with you.

This is akin to saying the 1022 sucks because there is such a large aftermarket for parts.
I'm not a Glock fan boy, yes I own a few. I dont shoot lead, and I don't make hot reloads, never had an issue

I wonder if the "Glock smile" terminology has changed over the years?

Some years back, when we all carried 1911's, a fellow INGOer sold me a bag of 45 brass warning that some had been fired in a Glock and might have "glock smile."

Fast forward to the modern day, gent that sold me a Gen5 G45 said the only indicator that it wasn't brand new was the "glock smile." ...

This is what the "smile" always ment to me, especially on a Sig (from Sigforum)

I blew one up. Gen 5 19. Glock blamed the ammo as being old and out of spec. They replaced the frame and sent it back for 100 bucks. They told me they get a few a week. I know it was a fluke but I never shot that one again. Told the story to a young guy and he bought it. That was over a year ago. I just bought a new 19 mos to replace it New Year's Eve. I will have to get the pictures off the storage thingy and figure out how to post them here.

Well, Welcome to INGOS!
Just don't make a run for the classifieds, or all hell will break loose!

You better Google glock smiles and problems from that. The numbers are there.

Perfect example of a Glock smile from factory loaded ammunition.

I don't shoot lead or run hot loads and have had issues with my Gen 3 Glock 20.

Big difference between lead and hard cast. However, some of you seem to not know the difference.
