There was a local news thing last week about the Avondale PD (Avondale is a suburb of Phoenix) that is getting rid of all their .40 Glocks.
Seems, they say, they have observed a lot of misfires during practice fire. They claim the slide picks up brass on the recoil and deposits the specks around the top of the mag which causes misfeeds.
They are now going with Sig .45 (say, "amen, brother").
I've made it known I am not...nor will I ever be, a Glock fan.
But, it seems like everytime I turn around something is just reinforcing that position.
My thought is I don't want any gun that has their reputation for malfunction...I want my 'peace of mind' operating if I ever need it......yepper....fer sure.
Also, there is something about plastic in a gun that just doesn't make logical sense to me......sorta like putting putty on aircraft.
