I cannot shoot "bullet holes through bullet holes" with a glock. I would not say that if it were not true. The gun is inaccurate.

The gun is also maldesigned and too many police departments are "making up" techniques tactics and procedures to compensate for a shitty design, ie no thumb safeties, shitty trigger etc.

Tell me wallowinginfun about how many pistols have you fired? Rounds? Trust me when I say I have a fews years of experience in this area.....;)

Ant beds, wasp nests and messing with the Team Sergeant....tsk..tsk... MEDIC UP!

Oh wait....

With a Glock maybe (a strong maybe) into ten thousand rounds, but I've tried out a few 1911's, Rugers (didn't like at all), a USP, some CZ-Witness-Tanfoglio types, a Beretta, a few XD's, and played around with a pretty nice custom Hi-Power. I've taken some classes and some private instruction from Bill Davison at Tac Pro Shooting Center. He seems to like Glocks, and swears by the 9x19mm. A lot of the posts on this forum are to the contrary, and since I'm sure most of these opinions are from experience, I really wanted to hear them.

I liked the hi cap 1911's the best, but since carrying a Glock on a deployment and in a couple classes I guess I got to like not having to mess with it so much.

I've tried to keep track of what everyone says about certain types of pistols, but I always end up getting lost in the threads. Because as long as some schmoe like me isn't muddying the waters, there's too much good info to just scan over.

I took TS, TR, & Razor's advice and contacted Wolff:

I bought a service pack of springs for an M9 for $24 including mag spring. Seems cheap enough to have a spare set in in your kit bag. Nice people. Thanks all for the tip.:)

So you took a few classes from a British Marine. That’s nice. "Bill has over 20 years of firearms experience" my tee-shirts have more than 20 years of "firearms" experience.
(Actually I have little "firearms" experience, 99.9% of my experience is "weapons" experience. The NRA teaches the use of firearms, the military teaches the use of "weapons".)

Tell me, did you verify his British Service claims? Due diligence cannot be overrated when finding a "authentic" weapons instructor.

With all the fakes out there claiming to be some sort of "Special Forces" commando I’d be highly dubious of this guys claims.

You get what you pay for…… I guess you missed this thread;

Tac Pro is a great shooting facility. In fact, I spent five hours there today running carbine and handgun drills that I learned in Paul Howe's class. Nice puffy clouds, nobody to bother me or interfere with my training. But I would not under any circumstances take one of their classes. There are only four instructors outside of the Army that I'm interested in, and two of them are on this site. ;)

Outside of the Army?

Do tell.

Bio's?

TS

Hell, I am a factory trained Beretta (notice the proper spelling) Armorer and I am going to steer clear of this thread until called upon. :munchin

LOL, I think you gave me the list. And that's all I have to say about that.

Moving out.

Chicken :D :munchin

I never, ever thought to give anyone advice around here. I am, as you said, an ameteur. I never thought to give any other impression. If there is a way I could change my tone or choice of words to be more respectful I am very much open to suggestion.

More like the fly that can sense the swatter coming. :D

Feel free to jump in.......:D

You didn't answer my question, did you verify this instructors credentials? Do us a favor and invite "Bill" to join our boards, we'll be happy to verify his "British Special Forces" claims.

I have made the owner of the largest indoor shooting facility in Scottsdale Arizona remove his lying cheating bio "I was in Navy Special Operations Warfare etc etc etc" from his website. He is not the first and will not be the last to live off the hard earned reputations of Special Operations soldiers, sailors Marines etc.

"He seems to like glocks", so does my mom. She has no idea why except they're easy to shoot, they're cheap, no messy things like thumb safeties to deal with, just point and pull. Very little training involved in order to use one. She (like "Bill") also "Swears by the glock 9mm", she's not too strong but she says any 75 year old woman can shoot a glock 9mm. Hell 3/4 of the police chiefs across the country think the same way. Cheap, defensive weapon, little training involved in order to know how to operate & employ. Did I mention cheap?

Most police shooting are within 21 feet. Why purchase a high quality gun when the LEO will probably never actually use the "firearm"? We equip the LEO with a $60,000 car and a $200 pistol. The car he/she uses everyday, the pistol may never leave its holster. Cheap defensive firearm. Police chiefs can now spend more money on new weight sets for the swat teams.

Clint Smith likes them too, but I think he's getting paid to say that.;)

No one pays me for my opinion or advice and my integrity is not for sale.

Save your glocks for the amateurs.

Team Sergeant

BTW there’s about 166 threads on this bulletin board with the word glock, I suggest you start reading and not to post anything concerning glocks until you’ve read most of them.

OK.... since you insist...

According to the Beretta (see proper spelling again!!) factory 92/92 Armorers Handbook UQAN 1070-8/99 Section D Page 10 Line R that at failure of the Slide to complete travel is caused by two issues.

1. Broken or damaged Recoil Spring
- Quit trying to stretch your spring when you have no idea what you are doing with the weapon

2. Seperated Recoil Spring Guide
-If you broke this... I don't want to know how and you should call Beretta (spelling proper once again) and wait on hold for an hour until you can get another

If my old instructor were alive he would add other issues to the failure

3. Quit dicking with the mechanics of your weapon

4. Quit being a cheap SOB and buy some good ammunition

5. Quit holding the weapon like a sissy and learn proper hold techniques.

If you don't mind waiting on hold for replacement parts, feel free to call Beretta and order what you need. Their number is (301) 283-2191
The Part numbers that you will want to ask for are Part #18 and #19 since they keep things simple for Model 92 ordering.

Enjoy... I have to go to work now.
