    Glock 21 SF Breaks

    At the range today with two new mmbers of the dept. And one of them is shooting his personal 21SF. When the trigger begans not to reset, armorer tore it down and found that the trigger itself was splitting. Gun only has 800rds through it. Have a concern due to dept. is going to switch to 21SF, already have them ordered. Has anyone heard of this happening?

    Replace the trigger bar and rock on. Stuff breaks.

    Clearly, he was limp wristing it while shooting reloads. Lucky he didn't open a black hole and decimate the entire planet.

    Or, alternatively, "what gotm4 said."

    That would be the 10mm.

    Then write into the contract a paragraph that says "if our guns break, you come fix them."

    I've never heard of it happening.

    If you can post a picture, I'd appreciate it. I'm always interested in seeing these things. It might also help us to diagnose what the specific problem is.

    It's also possible that this is a purely random failure and NOT infant mortality. That's the thing about random failures: They can happen at any time and their probability of occurrence does not depend on the age of the system or it's parts.

    If you see a second failure of the same type within a similar amount of rounds, THEN you can worry.

    Trust me, I do this stuff for a living.
