In an interesting aside, it appears from several gun related sites that Glock USA has suspended shipments of repaired guns for at least a week due to a "software upgrade."

Every gun shop owner I know has a story about a Glock misfiring or discharging accidentally... And sometimes a hole in the floor to go along with the story. The dirty little secret? Fun to shoot, light, and cheap, Glocks are also inherently unsafe and always have been.

They were married in 1962 and she still looks like that?? Is she a vampire or something?

Anything “The Daily Beast” writes is with an agenda (leftist) and is to be suspected, if not dismissed outright.

[From the article] “These foundations that were supposed to ensure the financial stability of his wife and heirs now fund a horse farm, where an Olympic show-jumper named London lives. Glock gave London to his new wife as a present and, at $15 million, it is one of the most expensive horses ever purchased.”

It took a couple of tries, but I finally got a look at that horse. Wow. Whatever else, the Glocks have impeccable taste in show jumpers.

‘Welcome to Team GLOCK!

Gerco Schröder and London

They are the dream team of the international show jumping scene and yet their future together was in doubt. The Eurocommerce Stables auction meant that Gerco Schröder, the show jumper from the Netherlands blessed with tremendous sensitivity, and London, the chestnut Belgian stallion that jumps so well, faced an uncertain future and seemed fated to go their separate ways.

Fortunately, a dream has come true for Gerco Schröder and the world’s show jumping arenas can still welcome the dynamic duo. Gaston and Kathrin Glock bought the 12-year-old BWP stallion (Nabab de Reve x Chin Chin) at the auction for the top price of €8.6 million and Gerco Schröder will join Team GLOCK.’

Sounds about right.
Sue for 500 mil, settle for 5 10 or 20% and live well.
Guess what you do is SETTLE with your lawyer first and let him keep all above what you have agreed upon.

That should ‘inspire’ the *ambulance chaser and shamus to get you yours and work hard to strip the SOB out of the rest.....

(*when talking in terms of possibly hundreds of millions, they don’t mind what you call them).

And if you have NO CASE, one would tell you to take a hike but I am sure there are plenty of the sleazeballs out there that would go along with you.
Course if that bad and greedy, after he gets his, he will go after yours...

Of course, if you have the big/big/big bucks, plenty of things will crawl out of the woodwork to ensure you get to keep it.
Well, crawler will have his fangs into a good portion but SHE won’t get it.....

Glock Family Goes Down, Guns Blazing
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Interesting head line.

Reminds me of many years ago (before certain acts were made public and/or popular),
a ‘lady’ was dating a French Flyer(Chinese?)
and when getting ready to ‘do the nasty’
he grabbed a bottle of Champagne and a book of matches and started pouring it ‘over’ her.

“Sweety! What are you doing”?

I bought my very first Glock last week. I guess a few bucks of what they are fighting over was mine.

I bought a Glock 20sf to use as a trail gun. One more caliber to reload, I’m really looking forward to some experimenting.

A co-worker asked why I didn’t like Glocks. I joked that I didn’t want to shoot myself in the leg, like a cop. Then he mentioned that his brother was a cop. Who shot himself in the leg. With a Glock. Whoops.

I had a couple of Glocks, fine poly handguns, not for beginners though. Essentially no safety (internal,trigger, etc., I know) and should only be operated by seasoned handgun users well versed in the Glock platform. Glocks require specific awareness in handling and operation.

I loved my Glocks, sorry I lost them in a boating accident.
