Let us know how it shoots and don't carry it in your front pocket I know not funny.
I read one article that said the Glock keeps it's accuracy to 370,000 rounds or so. If you can shoot 1013.6986 rounds a day (non leap year) you can tell us if that's fact or fiction in a year.
Have fun with your new piece.
With 6700 posts on this website maybe it's time to apply you own advise.
If you choose not to maybe you could at least add to the conversation somthing more than a knee jerk response.
All that shows me is that Glocks are popular and DC cops aren't trainable.
Excellent find.
Your trigger safety comment is utter bullshit. Safeties aren't meant to keep dipshits from pulling triggers, they're meant to keep firearms from going off when dropped. The only 'safety' is the guy wielding the firearm.
Agreed 100%. It seems to me that most of those cases are a matter of carelessness on the part of the officers. And leaving a loaded weapon within reach of kids??? That is hardly Glock's fault.
All of those incidents could have occurred with ANY handgun.
Let me qualify my statement: That list looks like any list you could generate over any time period, anywhere, for any make or model of sidearm when training has been neglected.
Sounds like the ultimate police wepon! Why are all the coolest toys so dangeous. Guns,Dirt Bikes,Chainsaws,Cable winches,Tractor Implements like post hole diggers,fast cars,Power tools and my favorit Hot chicks!

Glocks suck! More accidental dicharges with Glocks than any firearm in police history. Dont keep one in the chamber or you may be the next victim.
This a fine weapon if you need one on your side ready to go in a second but they have a reputation for going off "due to user error" that makes it a poor handgun for an induvidual. Go to a gun shop and have them lay out all pistols in the quality and price range you would consider. Pick each one up and natually point it to a target. Line up the sites after you point it and see which one comes closest.This will tell you which one natually fits your hand the best. It may be the glock. For me It was a USP HK but it happened to fit my natuall grip best so thats what I bought. If a cheap gun fits better buy it. Too manny get cought up in brands and never consider fit. I would only consider a glock if it fits your hand better than all the rest and don't keep one in the chamber.
I love that. I can load it make it ready to fire and put it in a box. You come back 20 years from now it will be sitting there unfired.
Hand the gun to an idiot and come back in a few hours to take him to the ER.
It has more misfires because of operator error. This is because most of the Glocks where purchased by the I never owned a gun but I saw a Glock in a movie crowd.
Its a ok deal you could do better but its not bad if you want a Glock.

I got my first autoloader in 1960, I've seen many accidental discharges over the years. As a matter of fact, when I worked at the range it was pretty much a daily occurrence. There were enough holes in the shooting tables, the roof and the floor as proof of how often it does actually happen. Thankfully most of the shooters had good gun habits and the barrel was pointed in a fairly safe direction.
IMO the biggest causes where over confidence (much like new drivers), brain lock (you repeat a motion a hundred or a thousand times and a hiccup is gonna happen), fatigue (sometime late in the day or the end of a shoot), being hectic or being distracted and lastly some sort of mechanical malfunction.
Anybody who says it can't happen to them is being delusional. If it hasn't happened yet, they've likely been lucky or haven't shot enough for the law of averages to catch up with them yet.

You mentioned coming to portland sometime soon right? Remind me to slap you, haha.
More on topic today, I headed out to Hillockburn and unloaded a couple hi-caps, and the factory 10 round mag. Then I came home and cleaned it. It was quite enjoyable.
I also took some of the money that the guy gave me on top of the glock, bought a ktyex hip holster, a cleaning kit, and a bicycle tube to wrap the grips.
I know not funny.
