The original post was all legitimate issue I'm having with a new pistol.
However, I was well aware the firestorm it would ignite, and I'm sure that did motivate me a little bit to make the post. It is highly entertaining.
Glock = suck

I have no doubt you know what your doing (no sarcasm intended),no seriously, so I'd chalk it up to a duff gun... Maybe the only one though...
Send it back to Questar, I'm sure they'll fix you up. Just to keep this thread on track: Glock's suck...No wait I own one...1911's suck! Ah Shate I just bought one...Wait I got it: Smith & Wesson revolvers Are simply the best, the rest suck!

Might wanna call the guy you bought the Glock from and ask him about it. If it is a barrel to slide issue then they were the ones that will have to deal with it... or at least point you in the right direction on how to.
Do you say that about every handgun?
Well he is right. Just about every handgun out there sucks in some way for somebody. There is no perfect handgun.
I think all these rebarreled guns are bound to have some failures. If we could only have the real thing I bet this post wouldn't exist!
Taking a proven platform and shrinking it just seems like a recipe for disaster.

Never switched anything on my Glocks (G20 + G23). They work fine. I would trust my life to either. They are affordable, reliable, and work right out of the box.
Armedsask may have a lemon. I'm not so intoxicated on the kool-aid that I think Glocks will suit all people either. If its not for him, fair enough. To insinuate that some choose to customise their Glocks because the parts need replacement is untrue. Many people like me are happy with them as they come. Glocks aren't perfect, but that can be said of just about any gun. Different strokes and all that...We can agree to disagree I'm sure.
Armedsask, feel free to PM me if you want to ditch it.
Why in heaven's name would anybody consider a gun, which can so easily malfunction, to be a good gun? I mean, if this gun was designed to be used in battle, shouldn't it work every time even if you can't hold it like Hulk would? I'd love to see how many of these manly men Glock junkies would still be holding their glocks in such a manly manner, if they were wounded and had to fight it out shooting weak handed. Ridiculous!
A good gun shouldn't be so sensitive to how it is held, especially if it's a fighting gun. And if it is, it certainly isn't anywhere near "perfect".
Here's a little test for you (see the videos below); which handgun would you choose to get into a fight? I'd take old warhorse every time myself, but that is just me. Maybe I'm just too prejudiced from having grown up with people who actually did use their sidearms in real battle, not just people who watched their Tupperware Queens being portrayed in movies where their imaginary virtues have been extolled ad nauseum.

I think that is a given. But it is also given then that as since they are on the lower cost part of the spectrum, dollar for dollar it would be very difficult for you to show me something better for the same price in size, calibre and capacity that is as tested and adopted as the glock.
Please dont compare it to a 3k nighthawk or wilson custom.

Suit all people? True. But there is also the question of what is more reliable Glocks or shooters? LOL.
No comment on the OP specifically, but have you considered that there are many out there that do not know how to shoot? (Grip, Trigger Control, etc...)
Unless shooting is considered to be simply slamming the trigger back and putting bullets in. This is the crux of many posts and arguments here that I think is missed.
Lots of police forces using the Glock doesn't mean s**t about the gun's quality, just like the US choosing the Beretta M9 doesn't mean it is the best 9mm; just like the US choosing the AR back in the 60s didn't mean it was the best choice and so forth and so on. I know, it is good publicity, which is the reason why Gaston practicaly gave those firsts guns away to police agenncies, but that hardly makes them perfect or any better than scores of handguns out there.

"This guy has done the following to his glock: rusted, driven over, thrown out of a plane, dropped of a roof, buried in sand and more." 150k rounds... Stilll works.
Tupperware...

Have you even shot a Glock before? Sounds like you are basing all your information on this one dudes post... weak.
I didn't buy my Glock to fight my way out of a trench behind enemy lines. I bought it for target practice.
I'm not allowed to use it to fight off Nazi's in some pre existing WWII wet dream relived through my friends.
Although if I had to, I guarantee it would be reliable.
You need to take a break from snuggling up to your 1911 and get out more.
If I had a dollar for all the Old timers who said they were never own that plastic, Tupperware queen, I'd be rich!
