Give your self defense carry gun a test every once in a while….

EXCELLENT point.

A buddy came over the other day, we decided to do some drills. He is an accomplished competitive shooter. He only had his "under the seat" glock 19 and right out the gate on a cold, double bill drill his glock would not function. The trigger reset would hang-from .5 to 2.5 seconds and required manipulation to to get it to reset.

Took it apart, it was dirty-he had subscribed to the "never clean" method and because of the lube and grime, it had fuzz/lint with it from riding under the seat.

While I won't tell another man what to do/not do, I'd highly encourage folks to test fire and clean periodically.

It's amazing to me how people glaze Glock.
They're a tool like any other.

This totally sounds like it was in the living room at first. I assume a range.

So was it ammo or gun?

I have a range on my property. It was the gun. Belly button lint had accumulated from carrying appendix. Also he has an affinity for purchasing carry guns used from pawn shops.

This is exactly why I replaced my XD pistols with Glocks. Had it happen more than once.

I don’t want a safe queen that I have to keep in pristine condition. Never had that issue with any of my Glocks, even under much worse conditions.

You and me both! I kept my XD pistols, but added a pair of Glocks as a result of the story I mentioned with the XDM. I have total confidence in each of those.
