    Default How long does a Glock last ?

    How many G-1 are still around ? The main reason I ask this because those little slide rails on the body just don't look all that tuff ? I've been a machinist in my many endevores and it just doesn't look as tuff as it is ?

    They are very tough and there are plenty of early Glocks still in use. I have an early Gen II 1989 and never had a problem.

    You'll go broke buying ammo before you wear out a lot of firearms on the market today and surpass the prices of the gun many times over. If you manage to shoot the gun enough that a rail breaks out of the frame on your Glock, send it back and Glock will replace it.

    It's the one area that usually never is a problem. The stuff they make a Glock out of is indeed, tough, even the little pieces.
    BCM and Glock...for a bigger pile of 'cold dead hands' brass.

    Kyle Defoor ran a Glock 17 up to 205,000 rounds before replacing it. In that time he replaced 2 recoil springs and 8 trigger return springs.

    You didn't!!!!????

    Well, I do know the frame cleans up quite nicely in the dishwasher! A few drops of oil on the springs & pins & they're GTG.

    Note: If your wife has no sense of humor; load, run & empty the dishwasher while she's not home. (Don't ask me how I know this.)
