So happy I bought a G21 now, but even more frustrated that I have to wait a long time for it :(

bigbore I saw your thread on ar15 forum. What's the latest you've done to it? Thought Up Anything new lately? I have really enjoyed your thread, and it really says something great about GLOCKS. It's a big part of the reason why my next pistol will be a GLOCK.

AND this proves what? There are a lot of Glock owners with to much time and money on there hands? So they take a pistol and abuse it far beyond what limit. Any person who has a firearm whose life may despend on it's use would never let the firearm get to this condition.

I humped a 16 for 91/2 months in the bush @ the Battle of Vietnam. My ass depended on this weapon working %100 of the time, it was kept clean and well maintained. So the point of abuseing this Glock is WAHT?

Grow up KIDS!

It proves that Glocks are tough freakin' pistols.Its doubtful that any of our Glocks would be put through anything like this but its very interesting to see what its limits are.I would think most of the fellas here would be smart enough to keep there weapon as clean as possible when there life may depend on it.I must admit that I'm amazed of its durability.I doubt there is a steel or aluminum frame gun that is cable of this.So the point of abusing a Glock is what? BECAUSE YOU CAN!

You have never heard of torture testing? Did you read all of his posts? How about the one where he tested the 21 and the HK together?
The Glock worked every time the HK didn't, wouldn't you say that is useful information? How do you know the conditions that will prevail when and if God forbid you ever have to use your carry weapon? Maybe you drew your weapon and dropped it in a mud puddle, and then struggled in the dirt for it, the scenarios are endless, it is nice to know the Glock will fire even if some wild unlikely scenario would occure.

I read this post this morning and I ...

I bought a G21 this afternoon.

It's my fourth Glock. There is something about a gun that doesn't require a gunsmith to tune. Doesn't cost and arm and a leg for parts if you want to experiment.

I just wish ammo was free.

Wow, I guess your right...Ya know, maybe we shouldn’t crash cars in those stupid crash tests...I mean after all, why ruin a perfectly good car to save a few piddly lives? We shouldn't worry about how much stress a seatbelt can take, I'm sure it'll be juuuust fine... ;Q

This is not Nam. This is bowling.

JP500 · 11-26-2005, 23:51

All of this could have been avoided had you just listened to Tommy Lee Jones' advice in US Marshalls:

These things are so cool. Did you know they'll shoot under water? You can pour sand in them and they'll shoot. Shoot everytime. ITs a good choice.

JohnQGlocker · 11-27-2005, 01:49

I'm just surprised the torture test didn't result in a kaboom.

BUt seriously, great post.

spork · 11-27-2005, 02:12

This was one of the most interesting and entertaining posts I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing!

Perhaps if Macnameria(sp?) would have done that to a few m16, there would be a few less dead Soldiers in SE Asia who had POS first gen. 16s lock up in battle

Rusty Guns · 11-27-2005, 18:12

And I thought my 21 was being abused because I didn't clean it every week, after shooting Pins with it. She has 10K rounds down the tube and I still win about once a month. No falt of hers, she shoots a lot better than I do. She still looks just as good as she did when I got her, and she still shoots just as good. If I'll just take my time and let her do her thing she will put them all in a very small hole. Like I said she puts them right where I point her. I just don't point as good as I used to.

Awsome tests, now I've seen all my Glocks "Put through the wringer."
A recent Book showed torture testing a G23.
Older Glock Annual tested a G17

Thanks for showing this

Longbow · 11-27-2005, 18:34

Awesome!
Thanks for all the hardwork and for sharing. I think I know what's my next purchase gonna be.....another Glock!

jonathon · 11-27-2005, 20:19

Bigbore, let the LAPD borrow your Glock

Grovenator · 11-27-2005, 22:23

Hey bigbore, I saw this over at arf and think it is the poop man! I still can't get registered to post over there so to hell with it! I got on over here so her it is: YOU THE MAN! I already loved my M21 now I sleep with it every night. The wife is totally convinced I'm nuts now! Next thing you know, I'll be doing it too! Well........maybe not!~1

GLOCK22SHOOTER · 12-17-2005, 20:23

I wouldnt be able to bring myself to doing all that to my sweet beautiful G22.Awesome test though and exellent posts on the results.Glad to see glocks really are perfection.I always knew that though.

Douglas in CT · 12-18-2005, 19:50

bigbore:
With all that abuse of that Glock 21, I am worried about you. ;f

Well done! ^c^c

Kahr PM9
My video player did not convey the results of the PM9 sand test at all well( jerky video, out of sync audio, etc) Would you mind letting me know what happened there?

Thank you.
