this gun has an affected serial #, glock 31, first one I've seen with two broken rails

EVerything man made breaks sometime or another. Nice thing is that by checking the SN, Glock knows to replace it. Hassle, I know, but at least it's not catastrophic malfunction.

Complete structural failure of that which holds the 2 pieces of gun together, rendering the gun inoperable, constitutes "catastrophic malfunction" in my book. ;)

I experienced that firsthand.

Before I bought my first Glock, I thought it'd be wise to rent one first.

Rented a 23 (I think....is that one the .40?) and a few rounds into it, I noticed the back of the slide was quite loose.

Stopped shootin', called the Range Master over, he stripped it, and sure enough; busted rail. :what:

I was like "WOW! I broke a GLOCK!!!" :what: :evil: :neener:


Seriously though, who knows how many rounds that thing had through it without a cleaning. (Probably been made fun of a lot too, the poor thing... :( )

Drjones,
Are you implying that the Glock may have committed suicide due to all the taunting from the pretty and popular guns? :neener:

Somebody hasn't been watching the metallurgy too closely. :(

No suprise. You can't trust anything more mechanical than a knife and fork.

Somebody hasn't been watching their plasttilurgy very well.:D

(My 1911 rails are OK...)
