I have a 9mm and 2 .40s, and had a KB with a 17 (that I replaced), but it was with a reload, so I believe it was a double-charge. Other than that, no problems.

At this point in the poll, I see that about 50 people have had Glock blowups, and about 400 Glock shooters have not.
IOW, of the poll respondents who are owners, about 11%-12% report blowups.
That is, of course, much higher than the actual rate if all owners reported. But, it still does indicate a troubling issue: that Glocks are associated with blowups.

G26 with only a few hundred rounds through it, no problems of an kind. G30 with about 5,000 rounds through it, no problems of any kind. About half the rounds through the G30 are my own handloads, mostly Rainier 230 gr plated bullets over a mid range charge of Unique.

I dont see where this thread is going. I request the Moderators that it should be closed.
Guns are always associated with risks - dont use them if you are not willing to take the risk. That said, I seriously doubt that any reputed pistol maker, may they be HK, Glock, Taurus, Springfield, Colt, Walther, CZ, etc.. will actually blow up- UNLESS you are messing around with the loads, or using cartirdges made for SMGs in it.

Actually, your numbers are off quite a bit....
49 claim to have experienced KB's while 644 have said otherwise.
It's actually less than 10%.
9.14% to be exact as of 0906 EST, 1-29-08.
I hope you're not going to do your own taxes this year.

At the time I posted that, those figures were accurate, and obtained by leaving out the respondants that "...I don't have a Glock, but I want to see the results."
It's amazing what scurrying around forums will produce for voting over a span of 20 hours--as we well know.
No matter what the number (then, or currently) is, it is not representative of problems with Glocks: It is representative, however, of 1) the kind of interpersonal exchanges that occur in forums, and 2) the popularity of a subject no firearms manufacturer would want associated with his brand.
But, no, I don't do my own taxes, easyq.
