Yes... I don't have much interest in a Glock myself. They just don't fit my hand right. I prefer the 1911 style single-stack magazine. But: everyone I know that owns a Glock raves about it. Particularly: reliability. Sounds like maybe Glock had a bad batch or a late-model tweak to the engineering that isn't working out.

Ive owned 1911s , SIGs, Glocks, Berettas, Steyrs, and Hi Powers in a variety of calibers...they all jam once in a great while...the trick is to practice clearing those jams...
Murphys Law states that when you need it the most it will fail...so practice clearing the failure
It also helps to clean them on occasion.. The Glock 17 and 19 will go on forever without jamming in my experience..

I've put thousands of rounds though Glocks.
I've had jams with low power hand loads, but never with full power hand loads or factory ammo.
Does the NYPD buy ammo, or use their own reloading machine using too little or the wrong powder?
