Have been there. Fuck those guys - they do more to promote shitty gun laws than Govenor Kunt Brown by being douchey fudds to people looking to get into the hobby.

What kind of abuse do you have to put a Glock 17 through to get it to blow up?

I have one. I have put about 2500 rds through it so far. I clean and lube it after each trip to the range. I never use reload ammo. I figure it's good for a few more thousand rounds before I should consider replacing it.

It was an issue with .40's specifically. https://files.catbox.moe/9iw8gi.jpg

Its fixed now i believe.

Not followed Glock travails but an issue w/ .40 over time makes sense. That is a stout load.

CRKT_M16Z ago

Gotcha. I wasn't aware of that. I'm not a Glock fanboy. It's just that the G17 is the first 9mm I ever bought. So I'm kind of attached to it. I have two other 9mm pistols, but they're both Sigs.

I'm aware of the "Glock smile" issue in 9mm that can easily be avoided by only using factory ammo and no reloads.

The shop is located in Portlandia.

Having an edgy opinion about mundane things is social currency there.

I want that binder

ExpertShitposter ago

I can provide a few pictures.

Battlefat ago

Of the blue binder? That’d be epic if so

Thats_not_my_dog ago

The guy hates Glocks. So what? He sounds passionate and is giving his honest opinion.

Most gun enthusiasts I know have a great dislike for one weapon or another either from personal experience or they just don't like the manufacturer.

Whatever.

Sure he isn't Mitt Romney? Maybe he moved on from binders full of women to ones full of broken guns

He's retarded.

I'd bet that was a reloading error. First round primer no powder. Next round OK, boom! IIRC AMT used investment cast stainless on their crap. A forged slide won't do that. Standing next to a buddy when he fired on error round in his Colt. The slide bulged but did not break.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

Epictetus_Hierapolis ago

Someone with an angry reaction to not having their favored brand promoted over all others...

clamhurt_legbeard ago

If you get triggered by the shop owner, shop elsewhere. I shop at a gunshop where the old bastard doesn't care about hurting your feelings. He will give you his opinion without bullshit or walking on egg shells.

robot7247 ago

Sad fact for me is many of the shops around will give you an opinion without facts. It's like going to a fun show and walking around listening to the uninformed jabber. Majority of counter help are on their first issue CCW and iz exspurt now. Only one old school shop around where the owner is also a gunsmith but he's an hour away and will retire soon. This really sucks.

DillHoleBagHands ago

The guy I go to is about an hour away. I enjoy the back roads drive though. Guy will probably never retire. He will croak right at that counter.

There was another really great shop near me but the owner died last year.

I don't shop at big stores because of experts. Had a guy at a store try to sell my a 9mm instead of a .45. "9 is better. You hold more rounds." Yeah? I want a .45. ".45 is over rated." Eat my ass.
