Why are glocks so unreliable? Whenever footage of a police shooting comes out the glocks fail nearly every time and the officer is seen trying to clear a malfunction like clockwork.

some people are dumb
Oh you cheeky wanker
Is it a giggle switch machine gun?
I never seen a single glock malfunction.
If you think glocks of all things are unreliable you are fricking delusional.
>you are fricking delusional.
he better not be that my hoes name
You should watch PoliceActivity on YouTube, lots of bodycam footage of shootings and every now and then there's a malfunctioning Glock
me personally I'm a big fan of Glocks, I tried the G19 and it was small but controllable, compact etc. I prefer older Glocks but I can see the complaints (since I also shot a 1911 from Springfield armories where I was able to at least control it accurately) 9mm isnt the best when it comes to stopping power from what I've heard
Police departments and armies are notorious for having shit maintenance.
Gun jammed? Oh well, gotta ask for a replacement.
a lot of rural PDs are underfunded as shit obviously
Glocks are good but not perfect. I've personally owned Glocks with issues and know others who have too. Either way it's better than any Nig Sour.
it's plastic gun, manufacturer has much higher profit margins on plastics than metal but real cost is transferred to customer in form of decreased reliability.
This poster has nonidea what he's talking about
Wrong. PDs like Glocks because they're almost moron-proof and dont require much maintenance or care from their users. The malfunctions you see are almost all as a result of limpwristing and improper grip which just comes down to trianing within the agency. Cheaper to buy a gun that removes any skill requirement to use than it is to train your peoplento be competant.
>They use Glocks because theyre so simple you don't need to train with them
>The malfunctions are only because of lack of training
Having to spell shit out to you people is really tiresome. Training to competantly handle a Glock = cheaper than training to competantly handle most other potential duty weapons. That doesnt mean they actually train their officers consistently. Police departments are constantly juggling between saving money and avoiding liability issues and the result is usually underfunded cops in the areas that matter (driving, shooting, use of force competancy, etc) that meet the absolute bare minimum required by state law.
They didn't have these problems when they were issued 5906 in peak violent crime 90s. Cope more
Only reason so many departments use glocks, and thus neckbeard wannabe cops and military buy them is glock gave them away for free to departments.
Nobody wanted glocks when they first came out, and glock was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Shooting under stress may cause them to limp wrist it?
Glock’s success was always due to the fact they undercut every other competitor by a huge margin and they’d send out a mini celeb rep like Ermey to give out a ton of free shirts and keychains and shit until they said yes.
That’s it. They are the accord/Acura/civic of guns.
>limp wrist
>the gun’s extraction and ejection isn’t shit, you just need to squeeze harder
Classic Glock cope.
What pistol do you recommend if not Glock?
M&P 2.0 are the best polymer striker fired handgun on the market right now.
LOL
>He made a whole thread just to compensate for his insecurity about his handgun of choice
I'm not OP nor the person that anon replied in the first place.
I'm just giving him facts. Something which you avoided doing but instead deflected.
Which handgun would you recommend that Anon if he were looking to change from Glocks?
It's hilarious anyone believes some sandpaper grip budget blaster is the best ever. Almost as bad as the canik morons.
Those pampered boomer cops with their 5906 and 92fs. Feel bad for the millenials stuck with tupperware from glock, Smith, sig and hk. At least nobody fell for the walther meme.
>walther meme
have you shot any PPQ or PDP?
>muh 4.5lb trigger is a game changer
Your tupperware is nothing special and the massive slide stops are fricking moronic. Yet another piss poor German design.
Wtf is that real
Knower here
>Glock makes up over 60% of law enforcement sales
>therefore more likely to be glocks used in body cam footage
>police are untrained morons who improperly handle their guns
>you can find videos of MPs, 320s, and 226s jamming through mishandling in police shooting but glocks are way more common so it seems like they are more unreliable
They aren't, my factory glocks have never malfunctioned and I have a few of them
The only time I ever got malfunction was using an ETS 40rd Black person mag, but those are known to not work worth a frick and are just for flexing Black person style
Post your gun OP
>fat finger the slide and cause a malfunction
>fat finger the mag release and drop your mag
>these are the gun's fault
>2022
>They still don't realize 95% of striker fired polymer guns are created equal
>Still try to flex and argue about which cheap, mass produced striker gun is better
It's all so tiring.
Limpwristing. Its user error due to poor weapons training, not a mechanical failure. Some agencies let guys put shitty aftermarket stuff on their guns too and they dont shoot them enough to work out the kinks. Properly handled, Glocks are extremely reliable weapons. They dont leave much room in their construction for a failure. Not supposed to lube them much, etc.
