my Glock is made out of recycled Tupperware and old dog food cans. i was surprised though to find that it is a 'fotay' vs a .22.

my Sig 229 is built to slightly higher standards since i believe recycled soup cans were used.

:lol:

This is my pistol. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My pistol is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my pistol is useless. Without my pistol, I am useless. I must fire my pistol true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my pistol and myself are defenders of my country,myself and my family, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life and the lives of my loved ones. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

I think mine is broken. Top experts say that guns are dangerous and it kills people, but mine hasn't done so. If fact, it's had the exact opposite effect, bad guys seems to avoid my gun.

Maybe it's a defect?
