Glock won't release the actual numbers but from some academic study let's discuss the numbers.
1,750,000 Glock handguns produced in all calibers, MINIMUM.
It could be twice that many but Glock ain't saying.
At least 400,000 of these pistols are caliber .40 S&W and distributed worldwide.
That's four hundred thousand folks.
I find less than 100 recorded instances of Glock .40 caliber pistols "ka-booming".
I find even fewer instances of other caliber Glocks doing the exploding pistol trick, one would think with all the trouble from the .40 caliber guns that the 10mm caliber guns would explode in 1000 shots or less but this just doesn't happen, not in cyberfantasy nor in real life, Hmmmm,,,,,
Globally, Americans are one of the few people on earth who are legally allowed to reload their own ammunition.
Most places will let you have a gun but severely restrict the amount of ammunition you can shoot through it year to year, and reload your own, forget it.
"Ka-booms" just don't appear to happen in other parts of the world only here in the good old USA and just about every reference to a Glock doing the amazing exploding pistol trick is directly traced back to reloaded ammunition.
The cop chick may have fired a slew of lead bullet reloads in the pistol before firing that nasty Wolf factory cartridge, who knows, and I bet she isn't saying.
Point is, nobody that actually follows the recommendation in the Glock factory manual to use good quality ammunition, NO RELOADS-EVER, has ever had their Glock pistol explode.
I know, I know, Lots of folks are going to come up and say well my buddy shoots only factory and,,,, Right, uh-huh.
Let this thing go, If a shooter isn't willing to follow the manufacturers instructions to the letter then the shooter doesn't need to be owning that particular firearm and frankly I know of very few manufacturers that recommend shooting turd ammunition in their products.
