Tutto può rompersi oppure avere un vizio occulto, le glock sono estremamente affidabili ma la perfezione assoluta non esiste.
Gente é morta per un improvviso malfunzionamento che non dipende certo da erroneo uso/ manutenzione.
Un poliziotto americano é stato ucciso da un sedicenne perché uno dei rail posteriori della sua glock 22 si era spezzato durante la sua risposta al fuoco, la cosa ancora peggiore é che si trattava di un difetto noto e parliamo di Gen2...
Possiedo una 17 rtf2 che ha ormai più 30000 colpi con cui faccio agonismo, dopo circa 10000 tiri ha ceduto la molla del grilletto, da allora tutte le molle le cambio ogni 6 mesi.
Il link all'episodio del poliziotto ed alcuni richiami che hanno interessato la glock, eccellente pistola ma certo non unbreakable..
