Yes the stuff I have written is STILL there for everyone to see. Which is why I say without fear of contradiction:
I never claimed to be a champion in or even compete in IDPA.
There was a guy who won the IDPA championships a couple of times with a Beretta, and his name is Earnest Langdon. Seems that he just won ANOTHER IDPA championship too. He beats out the Glocks all the time.
I never claimed to know more than my instructors at Blackwater. I did beat them on some drills, but so what? If I thought I knew everything I would not be going back to Blackwater in April.
I am STILL awaiting the photos and evidence from the person you cite. If you will recall, I asked him a long time ago to please send me any photo evidence he had on that. As yet he has not done so. My request for that information is on the thread for all to see. Go back and look again. I also want to know round counts, the approximate dates he was seeing these problems, whether or not there were broken locking blocks, etc.
Glock lickers are those who swear that their choice of handgun is infallible, and immediately start assailing anyone who challenges their blind loyalty with personal attacks and purile textual abuse. By that definition, there are LOTS of Glock Lickers out there.
I have defended the Beretta against unjust criticism, but I am not a Beretta licker. The whole point of this post is to find out about the slide breakage problem! I do not debate its existence early in the life of the 92, I am trying to find the facts among the whirlwinds of crud that is out there. Everyone seems to "know" that they are a POS, but very few people seem to prove it.
Glock lickers refuse to acknowledge their guns ever have a problem, even when they do. Thus I do not qualify.
Now how about stopping the mudslinging and provide some proof or just wait for someone else to provide some? When I actually write the article, I will be posting it online and will have links to it on all the boards that I have requested information from.
Then you can feel free to tear it apart.
If you are hellbent on playing the "mine is bigger than yours" game, then I will remind you that I will be back at Blackwater April 19-23. Bring your combat tupperware and we can have the instructors set up a little man on man competition, and then we can seperate the men from the boys as it were...
