Lol, Yeah maybe 13 years ago!!! Lol, I carry my G 35 EVERY DAY and have NEVER had an issue with it.( Ive bounced it, kicked it and played "floor hocky" with it on accident,loaded and chambered) So the Glock comment is worthless (the breaking part) esp based on 13 year old info..if we can use 13 year old info( or info thats old anyway)...Mags will be blenders and break paint and the bolt would cut your finger off(cough cough)...and I know thats not the case.

Yes, but compare AGDs service with Glocks.

Never a recall always an "upgrade".

And the Frisbee test failures might be 13 years old, but the Glocks were sold on their strength before the tests.

Nowadays there's still the issue of kBs.

...Ok, NOW and then time...Now they are KNOWN to be great weapons and carried by THOUSANDS of PDs, Military,etc people around the world.
Remember that the m16 When they were first out in the field Were unreliable at best. Known to jam at the drop of a hat.
Now, m16 and its cousins (ar,M4 etc) are some of the most sought after and used weapons around the globe(next to the Ak varients)
Now, the glocks are the stuff...13 years ago, You are right ...I wouldnt carry one .
But thats 13 years ago.
Not today.
And Glock has been WONDERFUL with the customer support. I sent my g 19 in for a reworking of the slide(refinnish and such) I had aftermarket stuff on the gun and they didnt say boo about it ...just refinnished it,charged less than the advertised price and ...sent my gun back.
They could have pitched a fit about it having aftermarket stuff, But didnt say anything.

And ALL THE BEST customer support in the world (agd) didnt help the fact while I was sitting on the field my marker was a very pretty soup machine...regardless of how AGD treated me when I sent it in to be fixed or looked at again and again.
I love agd ..dont take this as a slam .

But this is off topic and sorry for that...just trying to rule out the glocks break comparison...didnt sit well with me.

Thanks for the info Slarty, this is something I had never seen. I will say though that this was 13 years ago when the pistol was still fairly new (I should know, my chief back then wouldn't let us carry "that new fangled plastic pistol") I do know now that several federal agencies approve the carry of the Glock, to include the FBI. Improvements were made and it is now one of the most rugged pistols out there. One of the local agencies leaves one outside all year (for 6+ years) and fires it with every recruit class and it has never failed. I do know there were several slide flaiures with the bretta in the military (bad metal), that sig-sauer has had to replace many of the springs in their guns because of problems (nice guns, just D*** complicated). out of all the guns I have used in the line of duty the Glock is a great gun, with it being estimated that it accounts for 50% of all police sidearms. Me it I had my choice I would be carrying the S&W 4506, if I was not carrying a glock
