First off people let me say that this is in no way intended to provoke anything just a question.
Ok I was in my dealer's today (my second home) and I noticed a sign that he recently put up:
Attention Glock Owners!
Effective Immediately Glock has advised that all Glock pistol owners to get a annual inspection to check the serviceability of their firearms. This will be a recuring inspection that Glock would like to be preformed annually. This inspection is not manditory but strongly advised to be completed by a Glock certified gunsmith/inspector to ensure the structurale and mechanical componets of your Glock pistol are in serviceable condition. We are a Glock certified inspection place, you can bring in your Glock pistol anytime on Tuesdays to recieve your inspection.
Now the reason that I post this in the General Gun Discussion Board is because my question is has a inspecton advisory ever been put out by any other gun manufacture before? I asked my dealer why the sign was put up and he said it was because the Glock rep asked him to put it up. He also had to take a quick course by the Glock rep on what the inspection incures. The reason I ask if any other gun manufacture has made an advisory like this be it handguns, rifles, or shotguns is that I would like to know for safety sake. I know of some other manufactured guns that are range rentals and are many years old and have had thousands of rounds through them without the manufactures being concerned about how much their weapons are shot. I don't know if this is a polymer thing and if it is how come other manufactures of polymer weapons have this level of concern. This also could be an attempt by Glock to cover their bases because of the string of KB incidents. Like I said though if other manufactures would like inspections of their weapons be it annually, biannually or even a decade I think we need to know. Also if there is no advisory per say do any of you suggest that after a certain time or round count that your firearms be inspected by a competant gunsmith to look for stressing or other possible structureale problems. I understand that if a firearm is antique or very old in my opinion it should probally be inspected by a gunsmith for serviceability. I know that when I was in the Army I was a trained armorer for my company and at a bare minimum every weapon from crewserve down to a M9 was thoroughly broken down a checks for stress cracks or any other problems and then the weapons could be deamed serviceable.
Oh ya, I know my spelling sucks so don't flame me on that please.
