Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 My department was considering switching to Glocks back in the 80s we tested them by submerging them in sand and saltwater, driving over them with a car, dropping them 50 feet, and underwater firing as well as learning malfunctions and significant range tests. I’ve heard people say the only reason police departments adopted them was because they got a good deal on price. That is BS. Although it is butt ugly I carried one for over 15 years with confidence.

It certainly was a ground breaker and set new standards. There’s probably more durability testing videos out there using the glock than any other gun . The only other gun out there with more aftermarket support is the 1911 and I’m not sure that would be true today if it wasn’t for the popularity of the 2011.

I just remember a couple of guys I know joking that they were going to get themselves a Yeet cannon.

WOLFY Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hi Point is better than the Jennings and Raven .25 pistols that used to be made in So Cal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
