Heheheheheee........ Hey... give 'em a break man. I'm just glad to see they got one to go 1,000 rounds without blowing-up. Good for them!!!!
Yay!!!!!
J/K of course ......
But Glocks NEVER jam or have any problems what-so-ever...
1000 rds of rapid fire...check.
no failures of any kind? no check...
-J-
i could only take about 3 minutes of that, but did anyone else see the 4 malfunctions? glocks do malfunction.
And in real life not at a range, which direction is the firing line?Not really one of the "4 big rules" but definitely a rule at any respectable range. "Never break the firing line until the range has been called cold"
And in real life not at a range, which direction is the firing line?
And in real life not at a range, which direction is the firing line?
Wherever the gun is pointing at the time....
and how does this relate to this masturbatory exercise? i'll agree that we should train as realistically as we are able, but to allow ANY breach of safety and common sense is criminal.
I just thought it was cool the gun kept running after it puked the guide rod out the front.

He's probably not going balls to the wall; it's an exhibition shoot, not a training course or real-world shootout. IME, the extra time it takes to overhand the slide is negligible, and the benefits more than make up for it (see below).
I do, too, for the following reasons (in descending order of importance to me):
1) Overhanding the slide (or using the slingshot method, whichever) imparts more slide velocity than releasing it using the slide stop lever, which results in more positive loading. I've seen failures to feed caused by using the slide stop method; the slide just doesn't have enough "oomph" to strip a round out of the mag and slam it into the chamber.
If dropping the slide with the slide release doesn't work consistently, there is probably something wrong with the gun.
And of course, there are guns where racking the slide like that is more likely to induce a malfunction than using the slide release (9mm 1911s are an example).
I don't dispute that. Problem could be malformed feed lips, a weak recoil spring, burr on the feed ramp, or any number of other issues. But in the event there is something wrong with the gun, racking the slide is more likely to "power through" the problem and allow you to continue the fight, than using the slide stop. THAT was my point.
I'd say if racking the slide causes a malfunction, there is probably something wrong with the gun.
Hehehehe... YEP!!!If you give me the ammo I will feed it thorugh my hi-point till it breaks, then send it back to beemiller, have it repaired and shoot the rest of the ammo through it if there is any left
