There was some light surface rust on the barrel and it had a sign on it saying "broken extractor" or somesuch. I took it home, broke it down, and cleaned it inside & out. Then I took it out for a test session at the range. Lo & behold... no problems cycling ammo

When I worked at the gun shop, a guy came in and traded in a ruger super blackhawk in .44 mag that looked rough.
He said "I keep it on my tractor for shooting groundhogs" We weren't sure if there was any rifling in the barrel so he didn't get too much on trade in. The owner liked it and took it home and scrubbed it with hoppes & brass brushes for over week. Finally got the bore clean and it shot great. |

The dude must have had a serious hatred of groundhogs.

Never start a battle that you aren't willing to finish.
...preferably to component atoms.

I friend of mine is a DEA agent and has put 10K rounds through his G23 and has NEVER had an issue with it. I think I can trust Glock to be reliable.

Glock is a good weapon; I'm partial to hammer fired pistols so I own H&K. Before I decided on the M&P for USPSA use I was going to get a Glock 17 for that purpose. If you join the GSSF you get the LE discount once every 12 months so for not much more than 400 you can get a new gun. |
