Thank you, LongRifle, for the attack.

"Quit reading, and start shooting"?

I put at least 2-300 rounds per month through my G22 and G27. How about you?

"Real experience, instead of armchair guesses"?

Well, I guess 34 years of shooting handguns doesn't qualify, does it?

Neither do a few years of teaching pistolcraft in the Army, or on two different police departments, I guess.

Also, concerning "real experience", I don't hunt with my Glock.

I don't do competition with my Glock, either.

There are only two things my Glock is aimed at on a regular basis--paper targets, and people. I carry my Glock as a duty weapon. I have learned to trust it and my life depends on it.

Oh, and by the way, the "armchair guesses" were based on--well, it must be misinformation and downright lies--the stuff I learned from the folks direct from Smyrna, GA, who make a living by traveling the United States and teaching the Glock Handgun.

I have a certificate from those guys--worthless paper, I guess--that says "Certified Glock Armorer" on it.

You go ahead and cast all the bullets you want.

Me, I won't try to be smarter than the guys who MAKE the pistol--I'll just load jacketed for the factory barrel, and get an aftermarket for cast.

Guess I'm just a dumb butt, huh?
