Catastrophic Failure of Semiautomatic Handguns [Glock]:

Its interesting how the title of the story implies there is a problem with Glock pistols when, in fact, its common knowledge [or should be] among people who know their weapons that you do not repeatedly chamber the same round over and over or else you risk this very problem [BOOM!].

It appears that the instructor [or whomever the pistol was assigned to] had not fired his weapon in some time -or- did not heed this warning [re-chambering round].

Train! Train! Train!

Well it's not! I have been loading the same Glacier(sp) round in my 1911 every Thursday for over two years to get ready for work. It won't happen this week.
