Why would anyone keep any gun, regardless of make, if it didn't go BOOM!! when the trigger is pulled? I don't care if it is made by Kimber, Glock, Kahr, Springfield, or Joe's Gun Builders...it has got to work when needed. If at any time that doesn't happen, it should go straight to the armorer for repairs. If the repairs don't fix the problem, it is GONE!!

The only reason to have any gun is for it to do it's thing when needed. I wouldn't keep a gun in my CCW holster, home, car, campsite, business, or hunting party if it didn't do this. Going boom is it's function, nothing else. Having a gun that didn't do that is like having a home with no roof on it...what's the point?

And YES Glocks fall under that statement perfectly, so far! Also CZ, EAA, Sig, H&K, etc.... and many more.........Then again if it works reliably , way to go!!.
Glocks are an excellent way to go for the money, I own several models and they are all good! I am OK betting my life that they will work when I need them in a dire situation. It is called "Trust". I trust them!
It is beyond me the fact that in this day and age, some brands of firearms are still making consistently unreliable guns, that should have been corrected wayyyyyy back!!! Much dogma and no learning curve!!!

To add to the previous post.
I do not understand the mentality. You go to different web sites and read about the same problems with the same guns happening to a variety of people.
You go shooting and then watch the same make of guns with the same problems taking place over and over at the range, with different shooters. That is why I said, no learning curve, how can you expect different, if you keep doing the same thing over and over, It must be dogma!! Well this ain't the catholic church, sorry, by the same token, if you keep crashing every time you go for a landing , you change the way you land until you do not crash any more..........I killed this one!!!
I know, I know.....people don't change......

I have and have had Sigs. They all have been very reliable, as pointed in my previous post. One of my favorites! They are a bit large for CCW, but very trustworthy!

I carry my Sig in the Safepacker I purchased from Dillon when they first appeared in the Blue Press it has room for extra loaded magazines .I went to a shop & noticed the owner was wearing his safepacker on his belt with a loaded semiauto,his shop was located in a high crime neighborhood.

The "boys" doing the training for LASD are trying hard to get the M&P back on the approved list.

They had one problem with one class and stopped the transition. They worked with Smith to fix the problem.

I don't think it will be long before the LASD issue gun is an M&P.
