#1 The homeowner’s gun then jammed and he went to grab another gun.

Do NOT use ammo or magazines that have not been thoroughly range tested 'by you' personally.

#2 But all in all, two out of three ain't bad.

#3 A Glock 19 jammed? Cheap ammo?

#4 Bad maint and crappy handloads (resulting in heavy leading of the barrel) is the main combination I have heard of in the few Glock failures that I know of.

#5 Limp-wristing can do it too, at least with a Glock 34 9mm with P+ ammo.

#6 Is limp-wristing anything like shooting the gun sideways like the cool hoods do on television and in the movies? I seem to recall that causes jamming, too.

#7 /\ Gamers know better TW. I'm sticking with untested ammo or a bad magazine. In the confusion and possible poor lighting, he could have accidentally ejected a magazine. Without a magazine, the shooting stops fairly rapidly.

But as usual, I could be wrong.

#8 As I read it it sounds like the Glock didn't jam. That it was the Kriss Vector rifle that jammed.

Never heard of that one but a 10mm rifle is outside my limited experience.

#10 Common w/Glocks n 9mm. Goes to the basics - stance, grip, sight alignment, trigger control. Primary issue is improper grip. Slide is "light" and w/9mm combined w/improper grip - slide does not go all the way the rear causing failure to feed.

#11 I was thinking more of stove-piping rather than failure to feed, B.Billy, but your comments are to the point.

#13 They're not violent any more. Two out of three anyway.

#14 And the third was stopped and held at gunpoint by a neighbor. They picked the wrong neighborhood!

#17 Thank you for making Bankok Billy’s link clickable, Skidmark. I read and watched.

Gamers know better TW.

Being neither gamer nor gun afficianado, my ignorance is inestimable. Thank you for lessening it, Besoeker. Now trailing daughter #2 and her darling tall husband won’t smile gently over my head when the subject comes up.
