No offense though, but if you see a thread titled "I just blew up my Glock!" and you're tired of reading those threads, you do have the option of not reading it.
If there happens to be even in the least bit a problem with a firearm that may fire out of batter, or has an oversized chamber, or that has less case support that many other firearms and is very susceptible to blowing up because of higher pressures, (run on I know) and shove the whole trigger assembly into your hand I would want to know!
This causes people to make buying decisions. I hot rod my 1911's +P, 45 Super, even 460 Rowland. I have yet to have a case blowout or it destroy my weapon. I am careful, but I am a reloader as well. People that come out and want to run super hopped up ammo out there and KB their Glock then blame the ammo manufacturer for making super hopped up ammo in the first place is ridiculous.
It isn't stamped on the side of the Glocks to only use wimpy puny rounds now is it? It does not say that "caution use of high pressure ammo may blow the trigger assembly to smithereens"
There are many guns that have had squib loads, blow up cases etc. but none of which cause as much damage to the gun. 1911's with a blow case web mostly just need a new set of grips and a magazine, not the whole frame, trigger assembly, and possibly barrel replaced.
It's like saying your KIA is better built than my BMW. Both get you from point A to point B. Both can blow the engines. But, I guarantee that the KIA is more likely to do it first.
I like to hear any KB stories. This is why I specifically bought a 500 mag in the BFR, I saw a full house squib load and all it did was peel the barrel. All other manufactures that I had seen a 500 squib in completely disintegrated, similar to the Glock.
I'll pay for a well built gun that can handle abuse. People love Walmart because they are cheap. Glock's are cheap as well.
And if they were so darned great ingenious, why haven't they built anything else in the past 20+ years! No rifles, no shotguns, no different style pistols, nadda, not one other type of firearm. Now don't give me that crap about "they do one thing really good". Springfield has many different lines of firearms and do all of them quite well.
With the market share they have in the LEA's and private sector, they are the "most popular" gun around with "more sales than all other manufacturers combined" as one person said. So if they are such a great wealthy giant what gives?
How come we don't see any other "plastic" guns having the same issues of KBing??? Springfield XD??? HK??? and the other hundreds that are out there. So what gives? The data supports a flawed design period.
