    Interesting G22 Failure [Dialup Warning]

    Glock failure: Not so unusual. "I still believe this is one of the “problem” glocks..." My statement. Sure seems that worn springs and inadequate long-term maintenance are likely contributing factors to the problems encountered. I'm curious, however, has anyone ever heard of as wide spread...

    Interesting G22 Failure [Dialup Warning]

    Let's give the cop a break. “It appears to me that whoever was issued that pistol was an a**clown and just abused the total **ck out of it.” PERHAPS, BUT THIS IS AN OLDER WEAPON AND MOST LIKELY SHOWS SIGNS OF REPEATED FIRING. I DOUBT THE COP WHO OWNED IT MISUSED IT, ALTHOUGH THIS IS POSIBLE...

    Interesting G22 Failure [Dialup Warning]

    Glock failure: Not so unusual. A NUMBER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES EXPERIENCED THESE FAILURES IN DUTY GLOCKS SOME YEARS BACK (c 2005).

    Brandishing firearm

    This discussion is worthwhile, but clearly the laws vary greatly from state to state. Further, each situation is equally dependant on the facts at hand, and how those facts are interpreted by the police on scene. Whatever the case, one is likely to encounter a legal nightmare. Recently, in...

    thinking about getting a new gun to replace

    Just reading through your posts. My two bits: I've carried a number of concealed weapons over the years, including a Wather PPK 380, a S&W .38 snubnose 5 shot, and a S&W .357 magnum. I've used Glocks. I now carry a Springfiled XD45 Tactical and prefer it over all the above. Out of the box it out...
