IIRC it has something to do with not being able to cycle the action without the grip safety engaged.....

I think breakage is much more common with the Glocks than the 1911 pattern guns. And of course I’ve tried glocks, a lot, and I’ll never like them.

My 1911 is a Springfield “first off the line” back in the 80’s, when they were among the first to switch to old-style forged frames. Never had a hiccup. Never broke anything. For long periods of time, it’s eaten at least 500 rounds a week, 2000 if there was any events in there.

Boy is probably thinking about stamped-out frames, aluminium lightweights, and all that fancy cr*p.

Got it, so I've been using clip instead of magazine for 20+ years and this is the first time I've ever been corrected.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Only to folks who don't post under the monicker Lazamataz. ;-)

I’m not sure why he has an issue with the grip safety. Is there a different way to hold your gun without the grip?

Who has an issue with the grip safety?
I sure don't. In fact, I wish my Kahr had one just like it. Makes re-holstering a lot less stressful.

I’ll keep my all metal Colt, he can have all the plastic crap he wants.

How much did bread cost when you were a kid? ;o)

I thought about the XD but I’ve owned 6 glocks in my life and never had a jam, not even when bump firing with 28 rd mags. Glock has earned my trust. plus, all my high cap magazines will fit in the 30 (including the 28 rounders).

True it won’t. (I just checked:-). If I try to shoot with my hand below it though, that thing would just fly right back in to my face:-)

The fast circ on Glocks is because of signiificant breakage. Many large-scale users of Glock knows this about the gun, and keeping stocks as new as possible makes sense.

Same here. Didn't like the way they shoot, don't like the grips. I know I'll get knocked for this, but my H&K's are my favorites (9mm, 40 and 45 ACP's)

A little Sunday morning gun porn ... That's a Baretta 92fs, with two home built 5.56s; a M4gery and an AR-15A3 flattop with a detachable carry handle. No problem with 1911s by the way, just not pictured here. Basic neighborhood defense, Uploaded with Snapbucket

I stayed Gen 3 so I could use the fancy-pants Lazermax internal guide rod laser.
