First of all, speaking selectively with emphasis is not throwing a tantrum. I did not do so to demean any suggestions, after all, that is what I was here for. I did so to convey how unusual and dissapointing that defect was to me. Second, I have not decided that the chrome is the problem, a Glock armorer has. Third, that is a gun I depend on as my backup, so my dissapointment in it having an obvious defect is not, I think, unusual or misplaced. The reason I bought a Glock was the reputation for quality, durability and reliability. Your suggestion to send it back to the Glock factory is obviously a viable one, but does little to ease my misgivings over a weapon that I may one day depend upon to save my life. I prospectively apologize to all those who take this current post as a tantrum, and are offended.
