Wow if you weren't a long time(and presumably respected) member of this board I'd tell you what an ass you are, but I'll settle for telling the truth instead: you're an ass. I have a Glock 21(.45acp, not 40 but its a glock) and after firing thousands of rounds with the only 2 failures being SEVERELY DEFFECTIVE AMMUNITION I have to say they are great guns. If you honestly believe that all of the stories of Glocks exploding are real, then you probably believe that Elvis is still alive, and that the CIA killed Kennedy. They are great guns, and anyone who says otherwise is either gullible, a liar, biased, or all of the aforementioned. The truth is that Glocks are able to digest double charged rounds and ask for seconds. Flame me at will. Also, I apologize in advance to any and all moderators.
