Do ya remember those great little rubber dart guns ya played with as a youth. Ya wet the rubber tip, pushed it down the barrel till it clicked and then ya let er fly and stuck it to your bedroom window or sisters forehead ??

That is the exact same trigger on a glock IMHO. Check it out......Clear it , and dry fire it.....spoing spoing spoing......:o)

But the case here is idiots who are ill trained . There are a gazillion glocks in service with Military, LEO's and Civilians and as with any other firearm yer gonna have such incidents. This is just one more department wanting new firearms and is using their "misfires" to promote such a purchase.

I personally love the glock. It's accurate, reliable and is up to the wear and tear of day to day carry. I even named one of my rottweillers "Tenifer" !!! (Black, tough as hell and deadly when applied properly) I have half a dozen of em in assorted flavors and not one of em has ever given me a bit of trouble .....ever !

Stay Safe

I loved those spring action "dart guns" as a kid.

You could pull the rubber suction cups off, and get twice the distance and velocity from the hard plastic 6" long shanks when shooting your brother across the room.

Of course, the PC Police and Safety Nazis teamed up and banned them years ago. I found some bad current copies recently for my kids, but the "darts" were 3" long one piece soft plastic with about 1/10th the range and velocity of the originals. You can't even take off the suction cups.

No trouble from the Glocks, or from the Rotties? I've had to do some minor parts replacement, but as with the M1911A1 .45, every component part of a Glock can be removed and replaced without tools [okay, some folks count the Glosk factory pin puser as a *tool,* but it's certainly not necessary]

If it's a half-dozen trouble-free Glocks you've got, it sounds like you're in good shape, as I am with my 17. But if it's multiple obedient and well-behaved Rotties you have, let me know if you're ever blessed with pups....
