Default GLOCK FAILURES IN GUNFIGHT

Hi:
From previous posts forum members know that I have three immediate family members with the Saint Petersburg Florida Police Department that were in involved in the shooting incident where three officers were shot with two of the three killed.
Telephone conversation with one this P.M. discovered that the Agency's issued Glock Model 22 .40 S&W did not perform to expartations.
The officer rescue squad had number of FTF/FTF malfunctions while firing at the lone suspect hiding in the attic. These Glock Model 22s are ten years old and have had many, many rounds fired though them.
This happened to several of the Glocks involved in this shooting incident.
The weapons that worked perfectly were shotguns and AR-15s.
It will be interesting to see if new Glocks will be issued or another different manufacturer.
Jimmy
