My experience (full disclosure: I was told these stories and was not physically present); I know several LEOs all of which were issued Glocks at one time or another. Some love them, some hate them...BUT, every LEO I've ever met has told me that Glocks will absolutely discharge if dropped, bumped, handled wrong or whatever. One LEO I know was in a bar in D.C. when he dropped his. He said it went off 3 times before it quit bouncing. Personally, I won't own one.
Sorry in advance, and nothing personal, but I must call BS on this one, ESPECIALLY the one "going off" three times. Sounds like the cop had one or ten too many and hallucinated the warehouse scene from True Lies! Handled improperly, yes, they will fire. Dropped? Bumped? PUHLEEZE!!
