Armed robbery in Ohio

[lrrifleman]

I would suspect that Mr Patel bought the gun and learned enough from either the salesperson or YouTube to be dangerous. I would seriously doubt that he had much, if any, range time looking at how he is grasping the Glock.

Sadly, I have been a safety officer at club open houses where neophyte shooters have shown up with guns they've never fired, and seen too many that would have incurred thumb injuries by holding their pistols like that!

I wonder how Mr Patel's thumb feels!

The Son's buddy bought a Sig 320 a few years ago. I got home from a work trip & he asked if I'd look at his gun, all jammed up.

With effort I was able to clear the gun. The 1st thing I noticed was a bone-dry action. The 2nd thing was very dry steel cased 9mm ammo with cases almost like very fine sandpaper, opposite of slippery.

I field stripped the gun, cleaned & lubed everything. I later reported my findings, no problems since. If one took an oiled cloth to the steel cased ammo, they slid much better. Of course that wasn't essential if the action was lubed.

Just saying, never know why a gun jams from a video.

I bet he went out and bought a revolver right after.

And a new pair of underwear!!

I've been shooting a long time, with many different types, and brands, of guns. On the rare occasion, I've had malfunctions with some of them, but never with a Glock. Those things feed anything, and keep on ticking.

With autos, my malfunctions have almost always been magazine, or ammo related. With proper care and diligence, one can pretty much eliminate those issues. Poor gun handling, grip, and/or lack of training and practice are a whole other situation!

I never had a failure with a GI 1911 due to gun. I never had a failure with a S&W revolver. Therefore if I'm seriously worried about life and limb that be what I'm tote'n.

I perceive Glocks are susceptible to limp-wristing

For all the comments I see from Glock people about how super reliable Glocks are, every day I see some video like this where the Glock has failures to feed. Many times it's a badge cam video. I'm not so sure the wonder Glocks are as reliable as stated.

My first time trying a Glock 19, it jammed. I was relatively new to semi-auto pistols. The owner, who let me try it, identified I was limp-wristing. Once I understood, I was able to shoot it fine.

I don't disparage gunmakers, it's our choice to purchase or not. Glocks are serviceable weapons. It's up to each person to choose what's right for them. None of my other semi auto pistols are so sensitive, so no Glock for me.
