Check this out. I don't think I'd have the stones to pull the trigger on this one while testing...

I don't know what to say Dave ??? I sure feel sorry for the Glock. It has certainly renewed my faith in the 19 & 21 I own. After all that Dave, I think I'd retire it and hang it on a wall somewhere ;D

Glock needs to make this guy thier spokes person and give him a couple of new guns. If they didn't they would be crazy.

From on extream to another... I baby my guns.
For a tool who's main function is to harness an explosion... it's going to be strong and of good quality. I ask my self so why torture it?
Interesting test thanks.

If ABNORMAL wear and tear won't disable it then normal use won't bother it. If I didn't already have a good 1911 I'd be looking at a Glock with much more interest. Probably be my next semi auto pistol though.

now thats torture :)

Now that torture and to something I USED to believe deserved it, guess I gotta get one or two or three.......

Ah.. more proof in the pudding. I've said it time and time again. Pound for pound, you can't beat a GLOCK in terms of price, quality, durability, dependability, and accuracy. I've not found another pistol for in the "$600 or less" price range or even many in the $1500 or less range, that can beat it. I've owned Sprindfield XD's, Smith & Wesson M&P's (only thing close), and Ruger P'series. I've shot lots of others. I can consistently shoot my Glock's, as good as or better, on many occasions, than Sig's, H&K's, and yes many 1911's. And Glock can do it all the while, saving you $300-1200 in the process. Yeah I know, it's not smart to reload with them. But if you want to, all you have to do is change the barrel with an aftermarket one that has a little more chamber support. It's that simple. I'm not a 1911 hater either. They are so expensive that I can never seem to afford one. And they are more "service orientied", meaning that if you do drop them in sand or mud, etc you got to clean them extensively. Glocks .. well they can take many dirty situations right in stride... and just keep on going. I've shot thousands of trouble free rounds through my Glocks. And, they are "still going."
