I'd like to point out that the Sig P229 (not sure about other models, but I will comment on the one I know about) also does not have an external safety. If the other models are the same (I'm guessing they are), it's rather strange how nobody bags on Sig for doing the exact same thing as Glock. :p

I put 150 rounds of Monarch through my Glock 22 after I first got it, and it fired all 150 without any problems. As a matter of fact, I put over 500 rounds through it with no problems. Then, this past weekend, a group of us from work went out and I had put over 100 rounds through the Glock...

My question is, if it were a different handgun, would you keep one in the chamber or no? Does this "I cock it when I need it" mentality carry over to all pistols, or is this a comfort things specific to Glocks?

Well I can get Remington UMC 180gr box of 250 for $59.99 at Academy here, and I think (correct me if I'm wrong) UMC is a better cartridge than Winchester white box. Not to say it's bad, if it was cheaper than UMC I'd pick that up instead, but I think it actually costs more than the UMC. And the...

I never understood what was up with the green polymer frames on some of the Glocks. Are those older models or military issue? I prefer the all black look, so I'm not too worried about it, but it does stand out compared to the all black models. :) I considered the Glock 23 (it was between the 22...

Yeah, the Hydra-Shoks (my home defense rounds) like you see above are 180gr, and I put 30 of them through my Glock to make sure it didn't have any problems with them. It fired them without issue, but they actually kicked less than the 180gr FMJ Remington UMC rounds. I'd just shoot the Federal...

Thanks for the trigger advice. I know I'm doing some of that, so I'm trying my best to avoid it (been practicing dry firing). As far as ammunition goes, is Monarch good/bad? It's the cheapest stuff I can get in .40 S&W here, but I'm not sure how good/bad it is. Chances are I'll stick to the...

Since everything is better with pictures, here she is (click for full-size): Glock Model 22 .40 S&W I took this picture the day I bought it after getting home from the range with it, so it wasn't cleaned yet (only put 150 rounds through it that day though). I've wanted a firearm for as long...

It's astounding how many people are quick to blame a Glock for a kB when it's almost always the ammunition to blame (in this case, bad brass). Hot reloads, bad brass, or just plain bad ammunition are not a gun's fault. Bad ammunition or bad reloading will cause any gun to malfunction or kB...
