I was really shocked the first time I heard about that. It seems to go against the safety rules I learned about guns.

I think the rule of unload the gun before you begin cleaning trumps your concern.

I never could understand HOW someone could shoot themselves while cleaning an empty firearm! 

Maybe I'm missing something or stupid is as stupid does...!

Cleaning is not the only reason to feild strip.  Some type of miss fire or extraction prob is also reason too.   I would have to get a live, un fired round stuck in the chamber.

Exactly. Which makes it impossible to "make absolutely sure there is no ammunition in it/around it" and "unload the gun before you begin cleaning" as others say to do.

It was "Glock Perfection" then they changed it again and again and again. Now it's something different but they still say it's perfect.  ???  How can that be?

More perfect-er-er. Gotta be a German word for that.

Dry-fire practice also goes against the rules of safe gun handling, but it's extremely extremely practical training. Even cheaper than .22lr.

How so? Dry fire practice follows the same rules as firing live. I dry fire in the same place every time. Gun gets unloaded out of the area, no ammo gets brought into the area, muzzle is pointed in a safe direction.  If I get interrupted for any reason, everything starts from square one. Firearm get checked again etc.

Couldn't be... they are perfect... just ask glock or its fanboys.

Umm wouldn't that be like a 5th Generation Glock...   If you count the SF or sub-compact no-rail style ? .. some variations etc.. i guess they are all really Glock which makes it okay anyway..   also seen that picture on the net in other places. Some say it is a fake. I dunno..  I like Glock the way they are now..myself..

I heard from a Glock rep that "The American Consumer" asked for finger grooves!  My buddy and I told him we prefered no finger grooves and didn't know anyone who liked them and he just shrugged.

So much for customer input.

FWIW

PS:  Can't get a real good look at the picture, but it seems the grooves are still there.
