I had a similar experience with my M&P I decided to take the ammo and burn it up at the range and replaced it. But as to the gun I just detailed stripped it and cleaned it up.

It is a Glock, it takes 5 minutes to detail strip; you might as well, even though there is nothing wrong with getting it wet.

Wait a minute... if you read some other threads around here, you will discover that your Glock plastic needs "rehydration" from time to time to reshape the frame, reshape the magazines, reshape the dust cover, eliminate acne...

So, maybe a yearly swim in the creek is just what the doctor ordered. Can't be too careful.

You know you're a gun owner when you fall into 40 degree water, climb out and the first thing you do is field strip your gun to make sure everything is okay.

Also, in regards to it firing, I suggest you take a look at this:

Pretty much won me over on Glocks and I do believe one will be purchased by myself in the near future.

Doesn't (") mean inch? That's some mighty shallow water you fish in, unless I have my symbols mixed up.

Heavy shift finger. I meant feet.

I am sure there is an amusing story behind it. I'd love to hear it.

I hate to link to this guy because I find his demeanor fairly lame but there it is.

Maybe if he didn't "check his surroundings" that head turning thing everytime he pulled the trigger he MIGHT not be such a dork. Mike Seeklander wasted one of his students (simunition training) for doing that very thing. The guy would shoot then turn his head back and forth like that for show but he wasn't actually scanning his enviroment just doing it so he would look cool. Seeklander "killed" him (again it was just training) to prove a point if you're gonna do that make sure you're actually seeing what's around you...lol...Sorry back on topic the glock will live...

That's the best firearms related rant I've heard in a long time. Thanks for the great laugh.

I have never fired a pistol, but I don't see where it would be a problem. I have fired my shotguns very wet (pouring water out of the barrel) and have not had problems with them.

Smiling about 'rcmodel' being called ignorant. Images of the scene in "Shooter" where they seek the advice of a seasoned gun expert sitting in his country house flash to mind when I read some of rc's posts.

I went for a hike on a weekend of a business trip. Encountered a creek hidden in tall grass. Rather than retrace my steps, I jumped over the creek. Made it, but then the creek bank collapsed . I quickly leaned forward and grabbed grass to keep from slipping in. My pants and the bottom end of my Kydex holster holding a Glock 29 were in the water. After walking through the lobby of my hotel with soaked and muddy pants , I disassembled and dried the gun. It was good to go.
