Rockstar,
Actually I believe that the 2 Kabooms were about 2 years apart. This would seem to do away with the myth that it was a bad batch of ammo.
Opined? Doesn't make any more sense that it was the ammo.
Also, if it was a bad batch of ammo, where are the recalls, law suits and the kabooms of other makes of firearms using this bad batch of ammo? With the instantaneous nature of the internet, don't you think we would all know about a bad batch of ammo, immediatly?
This is not a knock on Glocks, it is merely reporting what I read in the paper, and learned from talking with LEO's at the time, and applying a little common sense, some say that a little is all I have to apply, lol.
Yep, that's what I want when my life depends on it, a gun that is reliable for a shot or two and then quits working. What if the shot or two of reliability were the last two I fired at the range? OOPS! What if the 5 or more shots that are unreliable are the first ones in the magazine? OOPS!
Really, I believe that the tricked out, highly modified guns, used in many competitions are less reliable than most of us would want if our life depended on them.
In a weapon for self defense, I want a gun that I know will always work, with ammunition that I know will work in the gun, and I believe will have a good chance of stopping any threat likely to be encountered. I also want to be able to hit what I shoot at.
(yes, I realize that firearms are mechanical devices and as such are subject to failure. I know that nothing made by man is 100%, but I want a weapon as close to 100% as possible.)
For me, at this time -it could change, it has before, that weapon is my Ruger P90. I know it will work, first time, every time, and I can hit what I shoot at, just ask my grand daughter,
For others, the choice is something else, the main ingredients are that it be reliable and you can hit what you shoot at.
There is no one, "RIGHT" choice for everyone. There is no "WRONG" answer, unless you talk yourself into believing that you only need a gun that functions 25%, or less, of the time.
