I simply asked a question.
I think you need some space if you are going to go down this road.

His or her replies were hardly friendly, condescending, and not worthy of a serious reply. I do appreciate your reply.Hi there! I'm KellyinAvon. Staff member, moderator, 2A advocate, all around nice guy, etc.
I need you to take a breath right about now. You typed in all caps and someone asked you why you were yelling. That is a valid question.
Group dynamics are a real thing. Again, take a breath and press on.
I got my first Glock, a 19, in the later 80's from a shop in Muncie. I traded a 659 and walked out with a new gun and cash. It shot well, fed everything, takes apart to clean in seconds... and didn't really care if you cleaned it. it was half the weight to carry and I still have it... and the family grew and grew.
Someday a Turnbull 1911 will go in my old man belt... but it may have to be a retirement gift to myself.
Well said, both of you. I own and appreciate Glocks, not for their beauty, but because I am very comfortable with them, I trust them with my life, and with my family’s safety. I carried and trained with a G22 for many years, and it became an extension of me. And that is extremely important to me and my story.Either people like them or they don't. I get that. They're undeniably one of the most reliable handguns I've ever owned. I have a couple 9mm Glocks that I love. There's many on the used market probably because there are so many out there - a previous post mentioned that I think.
I also like my S&W M&P9 Shield +, and Taurus GX4XL TORO. I used to have a Ruger P85 MKII 9mm, it was very reliable, but I didn't like the trigger take-up, and it was a bit on the heavy side. Plus magazines were a bit hard to find as the gun got older. Glock has parts galore, also 3rd party mfrs offer plenty of options/upgrades as well.
It's great to have so many quality options to choose from. Ultimately, shoot what fits you best, and what your pocketbook can digest.

Deep, cleansing breath. This is the Internet.His or her replies were hardly friendly, condescending, and not worthy of a serious reply. I do appreciate your reply.
I've been watching police shootouts on YouTube and I'm amazed at how many Glocks fail for one reason or another.
The only Glock I've owned was a G20SF it went bang every time I pulled the trigger, and very reliable.
I have a Glock clone Dagger it's been reliable as well.
So my question is why are there so many failures when they (LEO's) need them most?
Is it user related? Or Glock related?
I've never heard of an ammo picky Glock.
Now I've watched hundreds so far I'm going to guess I've seen probably 10 or slightly more failures. Doesn't sound like much. But when a second counts it is very bad.
Yeah that would take a lot of searching. They are on this channel.Post the malfunction videos, so we can analyze why they may have happened.

Its not just Glocks. And it's not just cops...but with the prevalence of body cam video those are the shootouts that you get to see. Also, a lot of agencies issue Glocks, adding to the prevalence of Glock malfunctions in those videos. The last OIS we had locally, the officer had a malfunction with his P229, and often when we investigate non-officer-involved shootings we encounter at least one jammed handgun.I've been watching police shootouts on YouTube and I'm amazed at how many Glocks fail for one reason or another.
