"It will always go bang" - BS!!!!

[40calruler]

Why sell mine, .... Gotta stop the sister jokes, one of these days I'm going to run into her and she will kick my tail on principle.

And the Glocks are about the only thing I'm not considering selling due to 941... They were already lost in a boating accident.

Yep, damn robot fish and crabs working for the government. All mine ended up in Newport Bay. Crabs jumped ship with em. Careful of the government fish...they look so real.

Here it is folks. Proof that a Glock CAN jam!

Was camping in Christmas Valley last weekend and a buddy of mine brought a Glock 19 that hadn't been cleaned in quite some time (he's a farmer, not a mall ninja...). Stove piped 3 out of 9 rounds.

After I took it from him (pre 941 passing of course) and did a quick cleaning, it functioned fine again.

But to all of you who say "I buy a glock cause they never jam". All I have to say is Ah HAH!!!!!!!

What is the FT/lbs of muzzle energy with the ammo you were shooting?

The reason I ask is we were shooting PMC thru the Glock 42 .380 and it jammed/stove piped constantly. Switched mags to the Hornaday critical defense and not one jam.

After a bit of searching I found the Glock 42 is very sensitive to the Ft/lbs rating of the ammo and requires ~190ft/lbs minimum to cycle properly. The PMC crap is less than that.

I've never had a jam in in other 9mm or .40 Glock, but have always shot good ammo thru those.

Cheap factory. Think it was Sellier and Bellot.

Now I am even happier I went with the Sig over the 42. I can feed any .380 to it without an issue. Was your 42 at a low round count? A Glock that is clean should not care about ammo. Unless it is because the 42 is a new model. Never had an issue with ANY ammo in the Glock 23.

 

[40calruler]

Oh and I never have an issue because unlike the person in the OP I clean my Glock.

S&B has a higher muzzle energy that Hornaday Critical Defense, so I probably was just the cheap plastic Glok

Well that's the obvious answer.

I'm waiting for the purist glock fanboy to challenge the validity of this photo

Limp wrist much?











Just kidding!

That's good!
Here is the video I was referring to regarding low power ammo in the G42

Absolutely a beautiful gun. If I could find one for 600 I would get one. There is a member here who has done thousands of dollars of work to his CZs. They are freaking amazing with the best triggers I have ever pulled....takes some serious cash though.

That thing is sweet. I really need to do some work on mine. They just shoot so well out of the box it is hard to justify to the wife that they need work.

Yeah when I saw that opening I just laughed to myself for being such a dirty old man. Had to share my thoughts!

 

[Kruel J]

Glad I could help out, gentlemen.

Yeah I have almost always had a 23. I do like it as it works well. I have started carrying a revolver or my little Sig .380 lately though. Glock has become more of a truck gun after I experienced all the other guns. My one true love is the CZ75. Never had an issue. If only I was either a lot fatter or the gun was a lot lighter it would be my EDC.

I ran a test with a CZ75P07 Duty. 850 rds without cleaning. No jams.

In the NATO trials , for which the cz75 p01 won, it went 15000 rounds with 7 stoppages in a sitting .

Friend had a 19 in his back pocket going down a steep hill. Fell on the gun and flexed the frame enough it popped out one rail on the back. Jammed the gun so bad it had to go to a smith to get it pulled apart. Wear em in a holster and don't fall on them.
