My buddy came with his Glock and a revolver.

Anyway, after about 10 shots with the Glock the end broke off his plastic recoil spring guide rod and went flying down range. He was left high and dry with a nonfunctional Glock, so finished the range session with his revolver.

BTW, that P238 shot really well and accurately even from the first magazine.

Didn't seem like the worst gun ever designed.

My friend doesn't blame the Glock, however, since he never changed the recoil spring/guide rod in the 16 years he had the gun.
