Glock Pistols- What Breaks and How to Fix It<\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

OK, let me get this out of the way right off the bat.\u00a0 I carry a Glock pistol during about 95% of my waking hours.\u00a0 My police duty gun was either a Glock 21 or a Glock 17.\u00a0 A\u00a0 Glock 26 or a Glock 19 in 9mm are constant companions in my off-duty hours.\u00a0 I like Glock pistols.\u00a0 But are they perfect?\u00a0 Not a chance.<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve broken almost every Glock I\u2019ve ever owned.\u00a0 No manufacturer is immune from this reality: If you shoot the gun enough, it will break.\u00a0 A gun is a mechanical device and it can fail at any time.\u00a0 I liken it to a car.\u00a0 Even if you buy the best car in the world, eventually it will break down.<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve been a factory-certified Glock armorer since 1997.\u00a0 In my job as training officer at the police department, I inspected and maintained more than 75 Glock pistols carried by my officers.\u00a0 I also taught at one of the largest shooting schools in the country, seeing hundreds more Glock pistols in my students\u2019 hands each year.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen Glock pistols break in every conceivable manner.\u00a0 Don\u2019t tell me\u00a0\u201cMine has never broken!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 That\u2019s because you don\u2019t shoot it enough.\u00a0 Put 10,000 rounds or more a year through a single pistol and see what happens.<\/h2>\n

Yes, they will break.\u00a0 But one of the reasons why I like the Glock so much is that they are easy to fix.\u00a0 Many of the common parts breakages can actually be prevented with some routine maintenance.\u00a0 In this article, I\u2019m going to explain what parts I see break most often, and what you can do to either prevent or fix the breakages and get your gun up and running again.<\/h2>\n
