Chapter and verse,"

My, but it's apparent that you and I see things from a different perspective. Or do you actually think that the
Glock kB! FAQ v1.28 is the sole source of (fully documented) information about the lack of casehead support?
I've thought for some time that the negative publicity that you gave Glocks when they were still being introduced to the country has colored the thinking of the gun community.
I guess it's true what one of the original FAQ co-authors, Todd Green, said earlier this month: "I learned long ago that when it comes to online gun forums, everything is Dean's fault."
But your command of history is dubious in the extreme… the very first critical report I published about Glock was in latter 1992, over six years after the pistols were first introduced here, and over five years after I almost single-handedly got them approved for civilian ownership in Suffolk County, NY.
Another "historical note," I'm astounded at the number of catastrophic M9 slide failures that have occurred long after it should not have been an issue… b-a-a-a-a-d maintenance procedures in certain military units, particularly one which was "late to the game!" You perhaps don't recall that it took not one but two Congressional dirrectives before USMC would first adopt and then actually start issuing the M9s, and I suspect that their warehousing of the pistols meant that they had a number of the "first generation" (manufactured and assembled in Italy) Berettas in service long after the rest of those M9s had been flushed through the system, having either been upgraded with the slide-replacement program or the addition of the oversize hammer pivot pin and milling cut in the slide, or taken out of service after a failure.
As for when and what with PPB, as I learn more, I'll publish more… but you need to learn to read it more objectively, I think.
