We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Maybe because this is OpenCarry.org, just saying.
Actually, practicing tactics and specifically transitions between weapon systems relates directly carrying. If you are going to carry, in any way, you need to be both proficient with your equipment, and confident in your abilities. You don't get that by sitting on your ass, or just plugging away at a range.

Run & Gun is my sport. Open Carry is my way of life.

At my age there's not much "Run", but there's plenty of "Gun".

Reminds me of a die hard Harley guy, who rides his Harley when he rides with his boys, but rides his Honda as his daily bike.
I'd love to have a 1911, but the reliability of the Glock is great, it's like the Honda of the gun world.

Probably rides the Honda so he doesn't have to repair his Harley as often.

Almost exactly what he told me.

Here's one made in the USA...
Those are very hard to come by and it certainly isn't yours.

Even those supposedly "Made in USA" have more than their share of foreign made parts.
It's getting to the point where, if it isn't something grown in US soil, it's not 100% US Made.

I don't care where it's made as long as I get more bang for my buck.

Some Glocks don't just go "bang", they go KaBoom. Some well noted pic's all over the net of "Glock Booms".
Well, then we can put every manufacturer in the thread then. My most recent kaboom was a S&W M340PD .357 Magnum that disintegrated its titanium cylinder with a non+P Hornady .38 in it. It's been eight months, and I'm still waiting for a replacement gun from S&W even after I had to pay for it!

Good people, SAA is.

I've yet to find a kaboom! Not caused by reloads or faulty ammo. Glock issued an advisory/warning to
avoid certain powder that can cause excessively high pressures. People ignored it.

Not having fully supported chambers contributed to some Glock failures.
"At the S&W IDPA Winter Championship this past Saturday (28 February) I personally saw a Glock Model 34 with its barrel split top from bottom all the way through the breech. The kB! occurred in front of many witnesses. The shooter was using factory PMC practice ammo."

I do recall a few using 'factory' ammo, one particular case was with Fed Champion .40, and it turned out that HALF the rounds had been pressed deep into their casing, presumably by someone stacking a ton of **** on top of the box.....
Factory ammo isn't perfect.
I will wholeheartedly agree that not having a fully supported chamber is definitely a contributing factor, though.
