If you're gonna shoot reloads or lead in your Glocks you'll need a cut-rifle'd barrel. You all know this! your at fault.....Can anyone name one major law enforcement agency that issues or allows the carry of any Ruger center-fire P-series pistol:neener:

Not law enforcement (though I do know a few depts that use Rugers but I can't name them offhand right now) the BOP (Bureau of Prisons) still uses Ruger 9mms (P89, P93 and P95) so apparently they're still working just fine. Plus they work better for when they have to bash an inmate with the butt of their gun when it's a heavy metal gun than a lighter Glock :D:D

Plus the only people to see their guns are people inside the prisons, so they don't need to worry about having the "Image" of a Glock or Sig. :neener:

and I love the name of the :neener: smiley...hahaha "neener" :D
 
I think its time to let this wither away as there is no point in entertaining this post any longer. It appears after reading all the follow-ups that this is not even a real story as nothing about the instances make any sense.

Cut-rifling and reloads have nothing to do with one another, just lead.

Also, lots of police departments allow the carry of Rugers. I don't know where you're getting your information from. The US Army even signed a contract for 5000 P95s in 1994. The state police of Wisconsin adopted the P85 in 1987. The Israeli Air Force uses P85s.
 
Touche Novadak. Eldon519 you are in error, the Wisconsin State PD never adopted the P-85 it was the P-89. Further they spent the better part of the next decade trying to dump it! I believe it was considered clumsy and inaccurate. They now happily carry Glock-22's and 23's. :neener:
 
Firing out of battery is an inherent safety issue. A gun shouldn't do that. There is also the chamber. Lots of guns have only partially supported chambers, including the 1911, but there are degrees of partial support. In my opinion and evidenced by all the kBs out there, Glock leaves too much of the case hanging back there. When Glocks do have case head separations, they also don't handle it as well as a lot of guns. Don't get me wrong, you can blow up anything, even the 1911, but some guns can handle a casehead separation without sending parts flying (though the mag might take a leave of absence).
 
Glock has produced over 5,000,000 pistols perhaps as many as 7,000,000 all told. I don't think there has been more than 200 documented Kabooms in all the world, 200 being a number that I just plucked out of the air, the actual number is actually much less I think. Once you've figure'd that out do the math and see what the odds are you're gonna kaboom your Glock! It's a silly concern and one not substantiated by any reliable data I've ever seen. Oh, and I would not go touting H&K as anywhere near superior to the Glock platform. Just my two cents worth...:)
 
As a general rule, if you buy a gun that was designed by the lowest bidder, you shouldn't be surprised if it blows up in your hand.

It reminds me of those folks who bring home a new gun and immediately want to send it back to the factory because it has "defects." Why didn't they look at it while in the shop, and just refuse to purchase it? :banghead:
 
Polygonal rifling tends to lead up or foul faster, it's also very tough to remove. This can lead to kabooms, in fact it does lead to kabooms, you are strongly warned of this by Glock.
 
I would send photos, but I have no way to photo, Phillyglocker and javelin, it makes me no difference whether you believe me or not. It happened as I discribed. I still have three Glocks, and I will continue shooting this G31 after it returns from Glock. Glock kabooms are will known, the percentage is small, this just happens to be one of them, unfortunately for me.

I know of 5 KBs and have seen 3 of the guns. Statistically, that is a huge amount if there are only 200.
