They seem small and thin compared to the solid steel slide rails of the SIG. Just wondering how strong/durable they actually are? Looks like they can bend easily. Am i worrying for nothing?
Never have I ever heard of an issue with the rails on a Glock.
Chuck Taylor has close to 300,000 rounds through his.
It really does put it in perspective. It also puts into perspective those that whine firearm X is too expensive. Like it really matters if you shoot a lot. Get what you like. If I ever had a firearm that I shot that much, I think I'd want to hang it over the mantle in my home as it would have definately earned that place of honor.WOW. if a bullet costs 20 cents each, going on a $9.97 / 50 Walmart price, 300,000 rounds = $60,000 I think I could affored to buy a whole new gun somewhere in there.
In the February 2011 issue of Combat Handguns, Taylor's Glock 17 (made in 1988) has now digested a total of 277,000 rounds since mid-1992, many of which were fired through the pistol by students using it as a "loaner" during his training class.Chuck Taylor has close to 300,000 rounds through his. This is an old link when he was at 250,000. http://www.notpurfect.com/main/glock.htm He has replaced some small parts and magaznes, but no frame rail failures.
