it should be noted that 9mm is the only model of glock that has not statistically KBd

You lost me there Enigma. I didn't know anyone was keeping stats on GLOCK KB's, except for the GLOCK haters/envy'ers who claim all GLOCK's KB. What stats are you referring to?

I have seen alot more ARs KB-ing around here than Glocks.

I KBed an HK Tactical with less than 200 rounds, my G20 has 2k+ rounds through it and never a failure.

BTW I have never heard of a G20 KB.

It's the only one with anything close to a fully supported chamber.

+1 on the 9mm

Not so, the 357 SIG chamber is better supported than the 45, 10, or 40, I can't verify about the 9. GLOCK 357 chambers are well supported, relative to the other calibers.

The bottleneck shape of the 357 lends itself to better feeding since the underside of the bullet is closer to the feedramps of the barrel, specifically it's 0.0225" closer. OEM GLOCK 357 SIG barrels have a tighter fit on an unfired round than a OEM 40 or 10 barrel.

.357 Sig

9mm It was the calibre the gun was designed around.

That tends to inimate that all the other calibres are a 're-design'

Also, it just seems wrong to me.....

I like my 9mm Glock, I like my 45acp 1911, I like my K-frame 357's
I like my ar15's in 5.56 I like my FAL's in 7.62
I like my coffee black.

But you'd probably still get this....

I vote 9mm only becuae I tried to buy I G19 wed. March 22nd (my 21st bday) and got "delayed" (still haven't heard back).

Stupid ATF and the state of UT's POC.

9mm.

Got a 17 and a 26, they are my favorite handguns to shoot...out of the Kimbers, Colts, Sigs,HK's, Walthers, Rugers etc that I have owned.

SHTF, it the Glocks that go w/me.

10mm comes a close second.

9mm

ALL of em (except for the gap

)

in order:
9mm (only b/c its cheap, the basic model, no kBs, and there are 33rnd mags for em)
10mm (best 10mm out there for the $$$s)
.45acp (another great gun, just wish they shaved the width)
.357sig (only negative is ammo availability and cost)
.40sw (i just dont like the cartrige that much)

for practical Pistol. I was thinking 9mm because its super cheap.

I still don't understand the hatred of the .45GAP, all the numbers I've seen on it says that it performs comparable to .45ACP.

Another vote for 9mm

Like others have said It was the calibre the gun was designed around. So I completely trust the Glock 17 and 19, and I know they wont Kaboom.

If you look at the pic I posted of MY gun, you might think I've done enough research. BOOM y'all! Glocks are nice guns-mine blowing up didn't stop me buying another, but you have to ask yourself why they have a propensity to shit themselves at a greater rate than other guns....

IT'S BECAUSE THEY AREN'T AS !#%~@&* RELIABLE.

GAP = Gaston's Awful Product
Numbers = marketing hype

And to answer the original question - 9mm

+1 for the 9mm

Shot Placement, Shot Placement, Shot Placement.

All handgun rounds are anemic. Rifles and shotguns have a good chance at a one shot stop but no handgun round does.

There are other calibers as well... In fact, there are even rifle caliber handguns!

Even though I don't own a gun yet... here's my list

9mm- beginners pistol or a ladies handgun. Plus side, lots of ammo and ammo at a reasonable price. minus side, some call it weak.

10mm- Are you man enough for this beast. Plus Side, enough power to take down many game with right ammo (IE Double Tap Ammo). minus side, recoil and report

.40 S&W- Are you Profesunal enough for this. Plus side, ammo at a reasonable price. Minus side, lets just say home of the KB (99% with home loaded ammo)

.45 ACP- big bullet. Plus side, ben around for ages and still good. Minus side, limited ammo

so what's your poison... Glocks can eat anything and still work good to great

Where's the G20? I don't see any proof or pics in your linky Boy.

Like Joe Namath said, " I like my Johnnie Walker Red and my women blonde."

For Glocks, I like the 19 chambered in 9mm. The ammo is cheap and accurate. You have mag choices of 15, 17, 31, and 33 rounds.

9mm. Glocks have much snappier recoil with 40 than other designs, and IMHO their 45s are too bulky.

Which Glock models are affected?
Speir has documented many instances of kB!s, all of them in the Models 20 and 30-something Glock
