I cringe every time I read "cordite" in a book that isn't set in the 1800's. If you're reading "Wild Beasts and Their Ways," okay, that's cordite. But if the main character is shooting a Glock 19, uh, no.

Exactly! LOL. Yeah, a guy is using a modern firearm and loads his ammo with cordite, lol.

I’ve read a book where the character took the safety off a Glock.
