Quoted: I know that the Kaboom incidents are due mostly to reloads. I'm I right, in that they occur more often in more powerful calibers(357/45)?? Any gun can Kb with overcharged loads. Don't worry about the internet Glock bullshit. |

Glock's are prone to it because of the unsupported chambers. Reloading brass fired in a Glock can cause the head to fail. New brass is less likely to be a cause of a KB unless it is overloaded. I shoot reloaded 40's through my G22, but intentionally load them light so that I keep pressure down. When I notice brass getting thin I let those lay after I shoot them.

A Glock shouldn't blow up if you follow the instructions. Don't shoot reloads or unjacketed ammo.
Does Glock still have the discount for LE and military buyers? I bought my 23 a few years back on the cheap through that program. |

I picked a Glock 17 about two months ago, and have since ran 500 rounds in reloads that I've made. 300 of those were loaded to max charges. 200 of them were loaded on the same brass.
Since a Glock 21 uses .45 acp which runs at lower pressures than 9mm it would be more safe if it weren't for the lack of a fully supported chamber. $535 is the average street price. I picked up my 17 for only $375, but it was used albeit like NIB with extras. |

That price is average. Generally in my area $525 is the number, $550 for Generation 4, and a bit more for the .45 series. This past week Cabelas was running a special on Glocks for $499. I say at the price you quoted to buy it and enjoy for a long time.

Well, thanks for the replies. I'm definitely going to pick up a G19, but I'm gonna pass on the one I saw at the shop. I'm gonna shop around for a better price. Color is not a priority. Although, I'd like OD, tan and black, in that order. If a black one comes up at a great price, I'll grab it.

Apparently, you had to go through an authorized Glock dealer to get the discount. Glock found out that some of those dealers were jacking up prices and then applying the discount. So, it really was not a discount  . Now, you can order and pay directly from Glock to get the discount and then they ship it to the dealer. I'm going to call tomorrow and get the scoop.

What appears to be a ridge (not a bulge?) in that case looks like something that happened in the sizing die. I have seen cases that looked like that when the case was sized slightly off center in the shell holder. I don't know any way it could have happened in firing. Proper reloads are safe in any gun. Improper reloads are unsafe in any gun. If I never again hear "Glocks KB due to unsupported chambers" I will be happy. But I'm not holding my breath. |

This happens with major loaded 38 super and un ramped barrels and in the Glocks. While it is not factual to say don't shoot reloads, it is proper to warn them of what reloads not to shoot. Would you shoot lead in your Glock with a factory barrel?
It's not about "opinion". This is a technical forum...........when we see factually incorrect statements made, alot of us, who give a shit, counter them. This is a technical forum. Folks come here to learn (me included) and it's a disservice to noobs to say things like "but you shouldn't shoot reloads anyway", because that is factually incorrect. I calls 'em like I sees 'em, always will. Pot, this is kettle, over. Read your own posts here. No, see, ALL autopistols have "unsupported chambers". This is part of the problem, people getting their technical facts wrong. C'mon. And no, it's OVERCHARGED ammo, and/or firing out of battery that is the reason for the VAST majority of these KB's. Again, this is a technical forum, get your facts right. With that, I am done with this thread. This stupid bullshit is going nowhere, and it's muddying up a Tech Forum. |

A Glock shouldn't blow up if you follow the instructions. Don't shoot reloads or unjacketed ammo. Does Glock still have the discount for LE and military buyers? I bought my 23 a few years back on the cheap through that program. I was just reading that they do. Even to retired guy, like me, which is cool. Apparently, you had to go through an authorized Glock dealer to get the discount. Glock found out that some of those dealers were jacking up prices and then applying the discount. So, it really was not a discount . Now, you can order and pay directly from Glock to get the discount and then they ship it to the dealer. I'm going to call tomorrow and get the scoop.Can you really buy it directly from Glock with the discount? That would be fantastic, because I have a dealer that does $10 transfers. Well, I've been reading that you can online. I tried calling Glock earlier today and was transferred to someone's voicemail and I left a message for him to return my call. No return call yet, I'll let you know what they say. Ok, I called Glock, and you can buy them direct. BUT... they factor in sales tax for about 30 states and charge $10 shipping. So, I'm going up to Scottsdale Gun Club... |

So, I'm going up to Scottsdale Gun Club... Yeah, that kind of sucks. But, if I went into a gun shop, I'd pay taxes anyway. So, I think the discount is $100.00, minus the $10.00 shipping.......oh, the FFL too. $90.00, minus $20.00.........$70.00 savings. I guess I'll shop around a bit more. I'm in no rush anyway.

It's definitely a good deal if you don't have a LEO distributor near you. But I do, so I'm going to go there. If I didn't, I would just get one straight from Glock. |
