P 10C so called fatal flaw

[@JazzLowrider]

The P10-C has been tested, tortured and used probably more than any other since it came out in 2017, i have mine for 3 years its my duty gun, i also practice with it at the range, i shot over 20k, I've never had a single malfunction.

[@Osprey1994]

Duty gun and only 2k over 3 years? Yikes.

2000 rounds? Let me know at 50,000.

[@devin1442]

​@@Osprey1994He corrected himself, he meant 20k lol

[@Rusty_ok]

I know this video is 2 years old but I felt like I should add my experience with the P10C. Solid reliable gun but at about the 1000 round point the slide would ,lock open after every shot. A small spring that holds the slide lock lever down had slipped off the “ledge” where it hooked and on recoil the slide lock button would engage. Called CZ they immediately sent shipping info. In leu of shipping my gun away I disassembled it and very slightly bent the spring so it engaged the ledge with a little more pressure. After another 500 rounds it has been flawless again. Like this gun so much I bought a second one.

[@deenyc1049]

Your comment is now 3 years old and still relevant

[@Rusty_ok]

A follow up two years later. Still, shooting the P10C every week, close to 10,000 rounds through it now and still no malfunctions that are not ammo related. Replaced the recoil spring about a year ago because the screw holding the retaining cap on the original recoil spring one came apart and the guide rod was no longer “guiding”. But it still shot and cycled just fine.

[@armoredman]

@@Rusty_ok same thing, original P-=10C still plugging along, no idea how many rounds are through it now, since I cast and reload, I have plenty of cheap plinking ammo. No parts broken or replaced yet.

[@danconrad6276]

Totally agreed !!

[@lazvt8469]

It's Aug 2018, son's P10c purchased in Jan or Feb of 18 doesn't exhibit that travel in firing pin as well as other 'hiccups' in construction noted on other channels to include exposed spring on left side of firing block, magazine catching, and trigger assembly rubbing/catching on firing block. CZ has shaved and nipped/tucked appropriately to eliminate those potential failure points. Gun has been flawless after 2000 rounds. Great trigger, sight picture and super accurate.

[@armoredman]

I would like to point out that the FDE pistol shown in this video is my every day carry sidearm and still has yet to have any issues. I don't keep a log, but I suspect round count is north of 3K now.

[@armoredman]

Since this gun gets used for training for a dear friend of mine every month for 200+ rounds, round count is 4K no with no problems.

My P10C was manufactured in 2018. 250 rounds through of Sig 115 grain JHPs and Federal FMJ rounds and no malfunctions so far..I will try Winchester white box to see what happens. I really like the gun so I hope it’s working well 1000 rounds plus in

I had the issue yesterday at an IPSC competition. I fired my last round of the day and when i had to show clear to the RO i saw that my slide was not in the closed position. i tried to rack the slide but still had the same issue. It is not nearly as easy to fix the problem as you showed it. Had the fiddle around with that little "pin catch" for it to function correctly again. And dont get me wrong i am a BIG CZ fan. Very disappointing.

[@armoredman]

Was it the rotated striker like I showed or was it something else? When did you buy yours? Have you contacted CZ-USA? 1-800-955-4486

[@cornelstoltz9315]

Yes its the fall safety pin that clicks into the striker pin. I bought it sept 2017. I stay in South Africa so its a little harder to reach or the send guns back to CZ-USA. I'll give it a try today

[@armoredman]

Sorry, was unaware where you are - say hi to Paarl Rock for me. You mean the firing pin safety fell down to block the striker? The one I show is the striker moving over sideways, which was all the talk for a few months, and then POOF. Can't hurt to try to call them, will the toll free number work down there? 1-800-955-4486? Last time I made a country to country call was 1988 from Hong Kong to the US. No CZ-Africa? You might try talking to CZ-UB in the Czech Republic. I've run into some SA CZ owners who have likewise difficulty contacting the company - we here in the US get spoiled with our easy access to company support.

[@v.german11b]

Outssstanding! Glock fan-boys cannot accept the fact that CZ pistols have all the parts Glock lacks of from the factory, and Glock owners have to add up in parts, resulting in a more expensive pistol. The fact is, CZ handguns excel! Albeit Glock fans refuse to believe it. I own the P10-F and P10-C suppressor-ready; unblemished, nothing but praises from my personal experience.

[@falseflagops3765]

Bought one of the first ones out..3k rounds and not a hiccup. None of the issues people have been describing thus far. Seems a lot of the people having problems are "tinkering" with the guns with aftermarket parts and messing with or replacing the trigger groups.....

[@armoredman]

This particular firearm IS my everyday carry, too. Completely reliable.

[@judahlion5826]

This failure for the slide to fully go into operation occurred with me in conjunction with a round being out of spec by having an overall length slightly longer than normal. When this occurred the slide would jam out of battery, I had to drop the mag and very aggressively rack the slide in order to clear the round and release the slide back into battery. This would only happen in conjunction without a round that was out of standard by length. But, when this occurred it was a booger to fix and get the gun fully operational again.

[@armoredman]

Were they handloads or factory ammo? Sometimes CZ has what's called a "short chamber", meaning that some overly long rounds with wide bullet ogives can get hung up in the rifling before it's fully chambered. I had this issue with Berrys Target Hollow Point bullet - had to load them to 1.02 to get them to function right, in ANY CZ...even the Scorpion.

[@judahlion5826]

Now you are talking and giving me some interesting information that I didn't know. Thank you. That is good to know! I was factory Winchester Whitebox. There were two bullets that it wouldn't cycle, so I measured them with a micrometer and they were both longer than the standard other bullets in the box.

[@armoredman]

That, unfortunately, is more common than it should be in generic ammo, especially remanufactured commercial ammo. Take a set of calipers to a box of factory ammo and watch those variations. if you are really interesting in more information on this subject, I have this guy, Wobbly, who is the moderator on the Ammo and Handloading section on czfirearms.us.

First thing I have to say is I am not a gunsmith nor do I play one on TV. Second thing I'd say is Winchester White Box ammo has a WELL deserved reputation for being junk ammo, BUT, the P-10C should have handled it. I highly recommend calling CZ-USA Monday morning at 1-800-944-4486 and ask the gunsmith. Have you tried any other ammo, was the pistol cleaned and properly oiled prior to use, and didja hold yer mouth right?

amoredman, I bought mine today. When I went to the range this afternoon to start breaking in my P10c, I couldn't get the slide to release.

I just learned something with your demo.

What gen is your P-10? I do use the slide stop sometimes to release the slide, but my Dept teaches the two hand method for slide lock. I worked mine over and over on the FDE, 1st Gen, to get it to where I wanted it, as you can see in the videos. If it is too hard to function call 1-800-955-4486 and ask CZ-USA directly if there is something that can be done. Thank you for watching, nd thank you for the compliment, much appreciated.

I have no clue. The pistol should be returned any day now. I would advise you in sending yours in too. I've checked and this problems doesn't seem to be isolated.

Mine is doing the same thing. I sent it back to Cz and all they did was put a new backplate in my gun. 200 rounds later it's doing it again. I bought mine about a month after they were released but sure do wish I would've waited. This is a wide spread problem with the early pistols but Cz just brushes it off like it's nothing. I feel like Cz should do a voluntary recall and fix the backplate and striker issues. I love the feel of the gun but I just can't carry a pistol that's not reliable .

Awesome video man. I was hoping you can answer a question for me that no1 on youtube can answer. My friend has a new p10c supressor ready. Right out the box he cleaned and lubed it. Using Winchester white box 115 grain it had a failure to feed on the 2nd shot and the 9th shot. The mag was a 10 round mag loaded with 5 rounds on the first string, then 5 rounds on the second go. After the second failure to feed it ran flawlessly after. Any thoughts on what might have caused that. And this is the updated p10c with the new backplate etc. Thanks .

[@armoredman]

Break in jams, first thought, though I rarely had break in jams with CZ pistols. How many rounds did you guys put through it and was it with a 'can on it?

It IS stiff when new, and some are very stiff. Practice the over the top style slide manipulation you see me use in 99% of my P-10 videos. over time it does smooth out - I can use t on my FDE without issue.

Hmmm...never happened to me . Good to know just Incase. Thanks.

[@armoredman]

This was "fixed" practively by CZ many years ago, even though the actual "issue" was manufactured. .

[@RedHeadKevin]

I'd say a bigger "flaw" is that if you slam a loaded magazine in, it will close the slide and chamber a round without touching the slide release. It's easily avoided by not jamming the mag in as hard as you can, but still.

[@armoredman]

That's actually not considered a flaw. Several pistols will do that if slammed hard enough, have had it happen with a few over the years. Some action shooters consider it a plus. I am meh either way.

[@nathangangi7571]

Never heard any legitimate issues with the P10-C.

[@armoredman]

About the only one everyone really complained about was the stiffness of the mag release, which I got to work out watching TV and working it over and over again, but the new gen, like my wife's P-10S that came in two days ago, has the new swappable mag release and it is smooth as silk. Slide stop is a stiff as a life sentence, but over the top works well.

[@csw4ak]

Hey, is that stock ?

[@RedHeadKevin]

It seems like you have to work hard to make this malfunction happen. I can't think of any reason to sllloooowwwly let the slide close like that, or any instance where that would happen. And even if you do let it close slowly, you have to manually push the striker over. And if you make the malfunction happen, you rack the slide (which you'd have to do anyway to chamber a round,) and it's fixed. Am I missing something?

[@armoredman]

Nope, you have it down pat - thats what the guy was saying those several years ago when this was an issue. Everything has been modified so the striker cannot even rotate over anymore, so it's a moot point now, but yes, the thing had to be set up manually.

[@brannonevans3685]

I had my P10C malfunction the other day at the range/ I only put 100 rounds through it when I was there. It went out of battery several times. I had to tap and rack it several times.

Im so glad your P10c works for you. Some dont, and mine doesnt.

[@armoredman]

And while you are calling me condescending, you forgot to say WHAT the malfunction was - was it the rotating striker, was it bad ammo, was it a bad magazine, what caused it?

@Captain Phlikenpoots enormous load of ballsnatch - I never complained about anyone at arfdotcom. I made this video as the single best way of showing that the problem was NOT universal. The hilarious thing is YEARS ago CZ made a change in the gun that eliminated this issue from ever occurring again, YEARS ago, yet the argument persists for some strange reason. Besides, with this wonderful thing called the IGNORE button, why in the hell would I care about getting anyone banned? I was barely active at that site when I made this video.

[@briandavid9462]

I just saw this video so I am a little late to the party here but I do not think what you demonstrated accurately reflects the real failure Shaun Ryan and Travis Kennedy had when demonstrating the pistol. The 2 former Navy Seals had a failure that would have been catastrophic in a gun fight and with all of their considerable training they could not easily rectify. Maybe CZ has fixed these issues but it was enough to give me pause and scrap my decision to buy one. I am sticking with my Glock.

[@armoredman]

Actually it shows exactly what the reported problem was with the rotating striker, which I set up multiple times as shown. Yes, you are way late t the party, as CZ has addressed this years ago, and only the very first generation P-10C pistols, like my EDC, are still in that configuration, with no issues with thousands of rounds through it. There is a program for a free upgrade through CZ for owners of the first gen pistols for the newer slide which now fixes the striker in its channel, as I showed elsewhere. Again, it's whatever you want to take away from the video, I make no money ere, but I replicated and then easily cleared the reported problem with ease, as shown multiple times. As for Glock - I qualify Expert r Distinguished Expert with the G19 every year with my Dept, but I just can't stand the grip angle. Nothing wrong with the gun, just doesn't fit me worth a darn.

[@rockyarchambeau5820]

Well sir great video ....but my CZ-P10c malfunctioned several times first 5 mags 124 g I sold mine back to the dealer and bought a FN 509 same ammunition the FN 509 shot with 0 problems ,but CZ is a great choice of weapon feels great looks awesome....can’t explain why one has problems,and the other one doesn’t with certain ammunition.....

[@armoredman]

Some guns are lemons. I've had name brand guns that failed in the first magazine, and "off brands" that kept soldiering on without a grumble. Only Beretta I ever owned was a pile of junk. Had a Ruger that wouldn't shoot to point of aim to save a life. Had a cheap Charter Arms revolver that worked like a champ for years. There are Friday/Monday guns, for certain, but for me, CZ has had the least number of those I have ever found.

[@Mike-gi1dk]

With this video being 4 years old I'm sure you've improved your grip since then.

I keep hitting what I aim at, so I guess I'm doing just fine. I seem to be a better shot than a lot of people, so I don't worry to much, keep scoring Expert or Distinguished Expert in my organization. ;)I will say I have been shooting with a coach and extremely experienced instructor while training to be a 4H coach, so perhaps some of it has rubbed off on me.

Birdman Feather posted a comment that somehow disappeared, and he asked, "Any advice about fixing this? My pistol has done this a couple of times now. I'll be shootin and then it stops with the top back a little." Sir, the best advice I can give is contact CZ-UA at 1-800-955-4486 and arrange for your pistol to go back for service. Like I said in the video, this does happen with a small group of pistols, and since it sounds like yours is one, get with CZ-USA and they will take care of you.

Hello, I think that the bad function that people attribute to this gun has to do with the lack of knowledge when it comes to cleaning and lubricating the weapon. The same problem happens to them as the Glock, if you oil the mechanism of the firing pin, they simply do not shoot and a kind of malfunction of the weapon is created. Something basic and simple, not excessive oil in the weapon, only in the few points indicated by the manufacturer. Thanks for the video. 5up.

[@armoredman]

I live in the desert, so we oil infrequently and sparingly - the stuff attracts dust. :)

[@armoredman]

My best friend was qualifying with the issued Glock 19 today, and the trigger bar broke, hanging things up enormously. However, in all fairness, it IS a range gun, getting about 1000 rounds a week for 46 weeks a year. :) Yes, cleaning and oiling is very necessary, but being in the desert, I always keep oil to a minimum - that stuff attracts dust like crazy!

Hey kids...and the moral of this story is, if you don't flip your gun upside and dick around with the striker , then you probably won't have a problem to begin with :).. I have the P10C, P07 Duty, P07 and the P07 Tactical...not a problem ever with any of them. I used to be a hard core sig guy. Biggest mistake I ever made was buying a CZ.

[@judahlion5826]

Darius, I am glad that you had good luck with your specific gun. Perhaps, the issue is with the back plate dropping and hanging on the slide as some have experienced.

[@mustangfox302ho]

Who the fuck is playing with the striker lock? I have a p10c and have over 1000 rounds suppressed and not. Only problems I ever had was the first 20 or so rounds a few didnt feed. I love the shit talkers about this gun. Gun has been a dream for me!

[@armoredman]

The issue was resolved by CZ-USA recently, even though it is not an issue. It was an outfit doing a KZbin video sometime ago claiming their gun locked up like that, but couldn't replicate it on video.

[@judahlion5826]

Actually, my back plate is always dropped down! If I push the back plate up and remove the pressure from my finger it automatically drops back down. It only seems to cause a hangup when I am using Winchester white box ammo and a couple of rounds are out of spec by being a little longer than standard. I watched the Omaha Outdoors video just now for the first time and what happened to him with the back plate and striker is the exact same thing that happened to me. Sometimes the slide will NOT go into battery and makes the gun inoperable. You can't bang the slide home or rack it with the mag in. I had to drop the mag and rack the slide a couple or three times to make the slide go into battery. This sucks because it is not reliable for CCW. You can't depend on it to save your life. I hate this because it is the most accurate gun I own and I own quite a few and it has a very good trigger, but it just isn't reliable with this issue. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWLNi5ynicaXaas

[@armoredman]

I see, that isn't the experience I had, but it is one thing I have heard of. Did you contact CZ-USA? That sounds like a fix they need to address immediately. Willing to bet they will have it done right ASAP.

[@judahlion5826]

i was told by a big CZ fan and owner that CZ's have a tighter and slightly shorter chamber than most standard guns which can lead to problems chambering rounds that are slightly out of spec. After doing a little research, I discovered that what he told me appears to be accurate.

[@racex428]

i just walked away to a fn 509 after researching cz p10c fails.. dam i wanted one😂

[@armoredman]

No worries, that's why there are so many different guns out there. Mine has continued to work perfectly, (hence the video), for going on 2K rounds, but if you don't want to try one, no worries. The P-10C, S and F will be here for years, especially with the US factory about to come online. Enjoy the SIG - I hear nice things about them after the upgrade.

[@racex428]

armoredman i do have a fde p320c upgraded...love ....only non glock i have....just put a gray Beretta gray apx in my mitts. now im really confused....lol

[@armoredman]

No confusion - buy them all!

[@Asghaad]

right .. except reliability test from MAC on FN509 shown that it wont fire when pulled out from clear water ... now let me ask you, do you fear random malfunction that so far always had to be manually induced or do you fear more tthe fact your gun wont fire when it gets submerged for few seconds ... for me the answe is simple, the gun that cant handle being dropped into a puddle is range toy and absolutely useless as CCW ...

[@armoredman]

To be completely honest, even MAC said he had a sample of one, and serious testing it is not, same as mine. :) However, I was happy to see the P-10C clear his gauntlet. ;)

[@Jaejits]

I know that Range!

[@mclerj0577]

Was very excited about this pistol upon first hearing about it- BUT- There is just way too many issues to consider this pistol as a safe reliable EDC weapon. Maybe in 2-3 years after CZ works out all the bugs- SO not the Glock Killer.

[@armoredman]

I think the negatives are overblown, from my direct experience, but absolutely, come back in a year. Might have the P-10S and P-10F by then, maybe even coming of the US factory. Always remember, Glock keeps making changes to thier "perfection" 30+ years after it's introduction...which I do remember. :)

[@mclerj0577]

Great comments to consider- I promised myself I WOULD NEVER carry a plastic gun- In 2000 I was forced to start carrying a Glock 23 - then Glock 22- Then Glock 19 until my retirement. 1000's of rounds through these Glocks with NO (NONE) ISSUES at all. Another guy on another dept. didn't clean his Glock for 2 years- No issues. (I still don't understand how he got away with this) But the proof is there for Glock- It is PERFECTION.

[@armoredman]

I've had three Glocks fail in my hand or i front of me, including a G17 1st gen that broke the slide under the ejection port, and an issued G19 3rd gen that had the mag catch fail, wouldn't retain the mag while I was trying qualify again with my dept - 15 years in so far. Nothing made by man is perfect. I ran a vz-58 for over 3000 rounds of dirty reloads before it started to stutter, and I have heard of Old Dirty, an FAL that hasn't been cleaned since I was in high school, and still runs. I tried it with my Scorpion, chickened out at 2000 rounds and cleaned it. I have had dadgum every brand made fail in my hands, including CZ, Ruger, Smith, Glock, HK, Walther and Taurus. Jennings, Raven and Davis too, but they fail on EVERYONE, so that's no big deal. What works for me is how infrequently they fail, and yes, Glock is generally reliable, dependable accurate sidearm - it doesn't fit my hand worth a tinker's damn. BTW, how often did your buddy shoot his Glock for 2 years? I know many sworn staff at my Dept who qualify once a year and never fire a round since then, and others, like me who hit the range once a week if we can.

[@mclerj0577]

His dept is very (was- retired now) aggressive on pistol qualification- at least 4 times a year and then in service training at the range at various times of the year. I would guess he put at least 500 rounds a year through the thing at the range. I am being conservative in that number.

[@armoredman]

Ok, pretty much a casual shooter and qualifier. Never going to overstress the equipment that way. :) I've put over 2K through this one and I haven't owned it a year yet, but, I reload my own ammo and cast my own bullets, as I pointed out, so it's really cheap to shoot, plus that nice range I'm on is absolutely free. :D

[@grenmoyo3968]

I will say there are more problems with the p10c, though I understand why you chose this particular one to demonstrate as a non-issue for your firearm. Other things are the very stiff slide lock and very stiff mag release. But for those just explain them to the gunstore clerk and find one in their stock that doesnt do that. Notify them that that isnt what is supposed to happen and have the ffl ship their defective stock back to cz for fixing.

[@armoredman]

Yes, I chose this one because one gun company claimed it happened to them but couldn't replicate the event without the physical manipulation thereof, so I chose this to show why it was/is a non issue. That particular FDE P-10C is still running strong factory stock with going on 3,000 rounds through it. If you look at my second P-10C White Nitride video you will see me drop mags from the mag release and release the slide with the slide stop - they are stiffer than almost every sidear I have ever owned before, but they clean up very quickly.

[@jamesbarrick3403]

I have done plenty of research on this pistol and I have never encountered the so called flaw you speak of. I would say possibley you are way too down in the weeds of some glock fan boy message boards... get out and enjoy life. No need to troll the trollers. They feel like their beloved Glock is threatened... that is okay. The CZ is not the only Glock killer on the market today. I do really love CZ but today I would buy the Ruger Security 9. It has a lower price point and it simply works... oh and btw it drives gun snobs absolutely nuts. Ruger is made in America and I do put a high priority on that fact when it is quality and a good price.

[@armoredman]

I'm thinking you might missed the point of the video due to its age - people around the 'net WERE talking about this so-called flaw when I made this video. Do note it is from a year and a half ago. Since that time the P-10 series has gone through two redesigns, including the addition of a non rotating striker, to sooth worriers. I have several thousand rounds through both the featured sidearm, my EDC P-10C White Nitride and now the wifes Gen 2 P-10S, with only the one break in jam on that - see that video at kzbin.info/www/bejne/a37FoGivndajj6c . The other two continue to be bobble free. As for Ruger - not a damn thing wrong with Ruger, made right up the street from me and the EC9S is on my radar for a deep BUG. The other pistol grips just don't fit me quite as well as CZs grip ergos, but that's subjective. Everyone likes something different, and Ruger makes a damn fine product. Oh, BTW, I have never visited GlockTalk, don't like Glocks, even though I qualify Expert or Distinguished Expert almost every year with the issued G19.

[@armoredman]

And that is the beauty of America, diversity of choice, buy and carry whatever you want, Colt, Smith, CZ, Ruger, Hi Point, whatever works for you. It seems that enough people were interested in this so called problem,( long since addressed and design changed), that this video has over 50,000 views, so, meh, looks like someone wanted to watch it. I also never go to GlockTalk, sorry - give them my regards.

[@sonnygunz9207]

I've never heard of this so called "problem"...I don't see a problem either.

[@armoredman]

There have been some reports of the slide cover dropping down in the back to hang up the slide, said to be caused by the striker rebound, as the striker spring is what holds it in place, allowing a microsecond of travel downward. A few people on CZ Forum czfirearms.us reported this and one person beveled some of the edges on his slide cover to address it. The rotating striker issue seems to be something oddball, which is why I made this quick video. I had to deliberately setup the malfunction, and it cleared itself with manipulation of the slide.

[@scshufran251]

[@LilYeshua]

armoredman I know that but from what I've seen on my own CZ P-10C,CZ USA can only do band aid fixes to the current generation of P-10C's I very much wanted to keep my CZ P-10C but after hearing about the frame cracks I threw in the towel on mine. I went back to Glock because I need a gun to be ultra reliable for EDC. I'm also am looking at a S&W M&P 2.0 Compact as a EDC and maybe a Styer. Check out Earl An's KZbin channel on the CZ P-10C for known issues on the CZ P-10C. Now if Glock can take a hint from CZ and make their pistols more ergonomic and look. Hope your CZ P-10C does you you right.

[@armoredman]

I watched his video - he spent a lot of time talking about what he'd heard, not what he had seen. I posted what I actually had seen and done with my bone stock sidearm...and his are anything but. ;) Nice work he had done, too. I haven't taken out the block to see about frame cracks, because I am not a gunsmith nor do I play one on TV, but mine seems to be running just fine with well north of 1000 rounds through it. To be honest, I should have run a round count on it, but I never did before, and I never figured I needed to, my bad. I would say that I qualify with Glocks as Expert or Distinguished Expert every year with my Dept, and I just can't stand them. Nothing wrong with the guns, good, solid, reliable sidearms - they just don't fit me worth a darn. CZ ergos fit me beautifully. If you like CZ ergos - have you looked at a PCR?

I do like the video though... Ill stick with my walther ppq or my glocks any day

[@armoredman]

There are no ricochets from the steel plate, amigo. The bullets are disintegrating - watch under the steel and you'll see the dust line. There are ricochets when I MISS the target once in a while, especially at that point you mentions, 5.07 - I was just shooting at the far berm, not really hitting anything. You can hear when I hit the target. The sounds of things hitting the ground are the ejected empty brass bouncing off the concrete. I've been shooting here for over 10 years and shooting steel for most of it - it's angled well down to avoid any possible rebound.

[@armoredman]

You probably missed the thing that got this started way back in 2017, when a guy claimed the CZ P-10C had a fatal flaw in that the slide would hang up on the striker when it rotated in it's channel. It was utter BS and I proved here that even if it had happened, it was an easily correctable thing. The other thing is not long after I made this video, the company changed the design slightly to stop the striker from rotating at all. So a non issue became an even more non issue.

Otherwise a "battery" in firearms parlance is a battery of artillery, meaning a group of big guns in the military organized into a coherent unit. Was there something else you found confusing?

I prefer not to name call people, really - I have to carry the Glock 19 at work, and have qualified Expert or Distinguished Expert with them for 15 years - I can't stand the grip angle. Had three of them fail in front of me or in my hand. One 19 bloke the magazine catch spring while I was qualifying with it one year, wouldn't retain a magazine after that. Watched a G17 crack its slide under the ejection port, too - in all fairness, the only way the shooter noticed something was wrong was the POI shifted to the left. I use Glock professionally, because I have to, but carry one? No way, had far more of them break on me than CZs, and they don't fit me worth a darn. ;) Funny you didn't respond to my comment a month ago, but did respond to 15ZQ8.
