Tell me again why I need to buy an expensive Glock.

You don't. You can have the same malfunction with any other manufactured automatic weapon. I've owned two Glocks, the 20 and 21. I've never had a problem with either. I can tell you, however, most "stovepipe" issues can be corrected with proper technique. You can take most automatics, shoot with "soft hands" and have it happen with regularity.

The only weapon I've been frustrated with was a Kahr PM45. For the first couple hundred rounds, it stovepiped constantly no matter what I did. It also was a thumb-killer on the slide release. Once it went through a break in period, it functioned just fine.

I love my PM45. Yes, you MUST shoot at least 300 rounds through it to break it in or it will jam. After that, it runs incredibly well for a pocket .45
