Ever wonder how long you can leave a cap and ball revolver loaded and it will still shoot?
A long while ago I was gifted a Colt 1851 Navy copy , that had sat loaded for 10 years....
When I went to shoot it...
All six chambers still went off.
2 sounded and worked fine...
3 needed a second cap...but still went off...and worked...1 of the 3 sounded a bit "weaker" than the others...
1 needed a second cap...and the round ball did clear the bore...but just sorta dropped off . after about 8 - 10 feet.

OK OK lets stir up the nest!

WHY is a Glock (cough) so darn expensive compared to others? Nothing against them personally except they just don't feel/ point well for my hands...
I would agree and disagree. My experience with Glocks is that they work every single time. They do feel a little different in the hand, due to the different grip angle. I love my Glock 20, but when it comes to a EDC, I prefer my Sig p365 over my Glock 43.
