I have never been a fan of Glocks, but after this.......There is no way in hell I would do something even close to resembling this torture to my 1911.
I have many different pistols, revolvers and such and I think its time to start looking at a Glock, I have not even the slightest idea what model is what, but I'm gonna learn...I promise.

Well this proves that this guy can really beat to death a pistol!

I will say the Glock is a dependable pistol.
It has the least amount of parts of any pistol I know of.
It is a simple design that works.

Apparently, he really hasn't yet beat it quite to death. He shoots it for IDPA.

Need more Glocks! I can't believe I ever entertain the idea of any others!

Nothing against Glocks, but good ol govt 1911 went through this for close to a century in the care of many a grunt! Plus, if it failed on Guadacanal it made a better club than a plastic one 
PS: Why would you do that to your own gun? I can see the TV guys, it aint theirs! Is this guy so worried what anti-glock people think he is going to wreck his own gun? Reminds me of guys in the service so insecure they would have a competition to see who could leave a cigar burning between their arms the longest. THEIR arm! HIS gun! What the (u know!)

There is a lot of Glock bashing that go's on, mainly because a now 500 dollar pistol should not be this good. I think this guy is just trying to put the argument to bed, never happen, but he has tried the hardest that I have seen. I love, shoot and own 1911's
10 to date, with another on the build. Glock is beside the bed and in the vehicle.

I mostly bash them because it irks Eric and Hawkfish, If I were going to get a 10 mm I would get a Glock, why pay 2 or 3 times as much for Colt ?

If you look at the tests, there is nothing there that is really damaging done in those tests.  cosmetic damage yes...really damage, no.

It still stopped the HK. I think there is potential serious damage in dropping a gun from a plane, dragging behind a truck and shooting it with a .22.

There are other tests where Glocks have fired hundreds of thousands of round without failure. The often cited torture test on a S&W M&P caused a crack in the slide after 62,333 rds.

You might need to have another look..... He shot it with a .22.........  not to mention sand and salt are pretty damn rough on guns/machinery.


*Oh yeah, I forgot about the whole dropping it out of a plane onto cement!


*Boy, I would love to see Mythbusters go and do a Glock torture test!

couple things  a small amount of surface rust, is cosemetic damage.  its not going to stop any combat spec gun


The gun  was droped onto dirt not cement. there is a huge diffrence between asphualt and concreate.( cement is part of concreate, its actually very weak by itself.) 

lead 22 shell are going to do very little to steal.
