All the Glock Jocks say:
Dont finger the bang switch till your ready for it to go off.
Thats worked great on revolvers since the 1835 or so.
“Thats worked great on revolvers since the 1835 or so.”
Of course the ones in 1835 had to be cocked and the later double action revolvers had considerable heavier trigger pull than a Glock. If I am going to have a light trigger I want more safety features like the grip safety on a Springfield XD.
“Thats worked great on revolvers since the 1835 or so.”
Except revolvers have 12 pound triggers and Glock only 5 pounds, which are more akin to single action triggers and not double action triggers like a revolver.
It’s real easy to pull a Glock trigger inadvertently.
The paradox of the single action comes to mind that muddies that platitude
Glocks are so love hate
I find them easy to shoot but don’t care for block style pistols
It’s a matter of preference
And no I do not think a trigger safety is sufficient
It’s redundant kind of
I prefer 1911 or FN style
Do you carry your revolver with the hammer cocked?
More than likely all these were .40 S&W or .10MM glocks. Their barrels are unsupported allowing a minimal possibility of a kaboom. I had a kaboom on my Glock 29. I don’t reload .10mm and .10mm ammo is scarce as hens teeth in my area. My local shop had some reloads and I had bought the 29 here and the manager knew I would be looking for some and he knew the guy who loaded it and he said it should be fine, gave me a hell of a deal.
While this is going on in my mind is a little voice going, no on reloads for the 29, no-no-no. I didn’t listen and bought it went home and set up to do some target practice with the 29. First round fine, second round kaboom! It blew the magazine out of the bottom of the frame and the slide release meekly fell out on my hand, which was stinging like crazy. Upon examination the frame had cracked and was sent back to Glock for replacement, cost me $100 and the shop sent it back on their dime and gave me $100 store credit and apologized profusely. I tossed the few boxes of reloads.
So no reloads on .40 S&W or .10mm in glocks. And I have heard of cases of kabooms with factory loads as well. Looking for a Wolfe replacement barrel which is a supported barrel in the model 29.
