Yankee fist, then why are there 2 terms?? Geometry does not equal reality sometimes.

A square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square

I was told at the Glock Armorer Class this year not to use lead bullets. At our range, a guy has been fortunate enough not to get himself hurt twice by shooting lead bullets out of his Glocks and they have blown up twice. Of course this also voids the warranty and he has to purchase another Glock. I cannot remember at the moment but I think he is on his third or fourth Glock at the moment. I will let you guys now if he blows up another cause I still think he uses home made lead ammo.

Now that you made me think about it so aren't squares and triangles.

I was going to buy a Glock but now I'm having second thoughts.

I like bullet proof guns and these things are starting to sound a little finicky.

I don't need one, just don't have one so I figured that is reason enough to buy one.
(plus the wife said it was OK)

One thing that alot of people still do, but can be very dangerous is to shoot a FMJ after they have shot a bunch of lead thru a gun... DO NOT DO IT, it can increase the presure drasticly, not only can you damage the gun, but you can also hurt yourself/ others around you.

I have 5 glocks and stick to FMJ rule. I do have one question, can XD's use lead?

I've had my hands on rental range Glock pistols that have had over 300K rounds through them.  Two at west coast ranges that can brag on the $$ they've made off of one pistol, in ammo sales.  Modest and infrequent maintenance has kept them going.   The gun buying public has kept the Glock lineup in the forefront of gun sales in the US.  By a large measure...

 Based on the guns I've shot, if I were buying a DA semi auto, Glock would be my first choice, I don't shoot anything but jacketed bullets so I don't care about this.

OK, I've been feeling left out not owning a Glock so I bought one this afternoon. Wasn't sure what to buy, but after listening to FQ13's rantings (crying) I went with the G27 .40 cal.

I can't believe I listened to FQ13..................

You won't regret it.

I never really cared for Glocks....and then I bought a G27 (out of necessity) for size/weight concerns (for CCW) while going through physical therapy six years ago. It is a good shooting gun and the accuracy (at least of the one I have) is impressive for a barrel that short.

I still have more love and affection for my 1911's.....but the Glock has it's place too.     

Congrats and enjoy.
