VPC, the Joyce Foundations Favorite propiganda outlet tells us we should now fear Glock pistols. And with VPC’s usual disregard for the scientific method they give 6 shootings over the course of 20 years.
Of course anybody knows that over the last 20 years the most common pistols in America are the Glock series of pistols, and various makes, models, and sizes of M1911 pistol. So yeah of course they used Glocks, EVERYBODY uses Glocks. Gabriel Giffords was shot with a Glock 19….Gabby Giffords herself owns and carried a Glock 19. Sung Cho used a Glock 19 in the Virginia Tech shooting, guess what the cops who responded to the shooting were carrying? GLOCKS.
Also what’s interesting is that the firearm world is starting to crowd the niche that was once dominated by Gaston’s Polymer pistol. We have S&W M&Ps, Springfield XDs, Walther P99s, The Sig P250, and a bit further out the Ruger SR9, Sig Pro, H&K lineup, Taurus, FNP, etc etc. Heck even Lone Wolf has made the Timberwolf which is a non-Glock Glock.
Given also Glock’s resistance to change, and the various problems with the 4th Generation of their pistols, I wonder how hard Glock is hemorrhaging market share to the other people who are building simple polymer pistols at an affordable price. Glock certainly isn’t dominating the market like it once was, then who will VPC pick on?
Frankly I have no interest in picking on Glocks, they work, and the people who have them love them. Frankly I dislike their grip angle, and while just some basic dry-training will fix the high point-of-aim problems I have when picking up a Glock, I’ll note that they are the ONLY company (Maybe besides Styer who’s pistol line has an even more aggressive angle to the grip) who feels the need to angle the grip as such. Also it seems that other gun makers seem to do just fine when it comes to reliability and can do it with fully supported chambers. That being said the Glock and the M1911 have been around for so long, and sold so well that you won’t find parts and magazines with greater ease than these two pistols.
Sometimes I cant tell which way the wind is blowing.
One group is afraid of inanimate objects, but they claim the other side is afraid of everything and relies on inanimate objects to placate their fears.
I’d like to see a comparable article showing domestic vehicle production and the relation to auto fatalities. No I wouldn’t, really, because it would be equally nonsensical.
Glocks are popular because they work well. Is that really all that uncomprehendable ?
It is if you’re a total retard, which people who support Gun Control are.
