In the years after the department's 1990 report on Glock accidents, unintentional shootings continued to mount. In October 1990, Officer Edward Wise fired accidentally and grazed a man's head during an undercover drug operation at a Southeast Washington housing complex, according to police and court documents. Wise said he had been struggling with the man, Barry Braxton, who was unarmed. Braxton sued and collected a $55,000 settlement from the District.

In May 1991, an officer accidentally shot Kenneth McSwain,18, in the back when the officer slipped while serving a search warrant in Northeast Washington, court and police documents show. McSwain, who was unarmed and was not charged with any crime, collected a $42,000 settlement.

In August 1991, an officer accidentally shot Stephen Wills in the chest during a drug bust in Southeast Washington, according to court and police documents. Wills, who was unarmed and was not charged with any crime, collected a $40,000 settlement.

Four officers were wounded with their own guns in 1992. Over and over, officers fired unintentional rounds in the locker rooms at their district stations, or at home while cleaning or unloading their guns, according to police reports. Officers are told during training to avoid such accidents by being attentive to the Glock's unique, simplified design.


In March 1993, Officer Lakisha Poge fired a round through her bed while unloading a Glock in her apartment, a police report states. The bullet went through the floor and hit Glowdean Catching in the apartment below. Catching, who was wounded in both legs has a suit pending against the District. Poge, who has left the department, could not be reached for comment.

"I submitted reports through channels and said, 'You have problems with this gun,'" former homicide branch chief William O. Ritchie, who chaired thedepartment's Use of Service Weapon Review Board in 1993, said in an interview. "I talked to the union and said, 'There is a hazard here.'"

In January 1994, homicide detective Jeffrey Mayberry shot Officer James Dukes in the stomach at police headquarters. "I hear a loud bang and Dukes is slowly falling to the floor," Detective Joseph Fox, Mayberry's partner, said in a deposition. "Jeff jumps up and says, 'Dukes, I didn't mean to do it, I didn't mean to do it.'"

Four days after Dukes was shot, Officer Juan Martinez Jr. accidentally shot his roommate, Frederick Broomfield, in the groin while awaiting dinner in their apartment, according to police and court records. Martinez was unloading his Glock in his bedroom when Broomfield came in and asked Martinez how he wanted his chicken cooked. The gun abruptly went off.

Broomfield, who nearly bled to death after the bullet pierced an artery in his groin, sued the District and Glock Inc. His attorneys compiled a voluminous case in D.C. Superior Court, marshaling gun experts who gave statements about the alleged dangers of the Glock and the deficiencies of the District's training. In June, the District settled the case by paying Broomfield $797,500. Glock also settled, but a lawyer for Glock declined to disclose the amount. In court papers, Glock denied that its gun was dangerous or defective.

By 1997, the safety issue had turned some members of the D.C. police union against the Glock, according to Robertson, the former union official. Several officials wanted to switch to the Sig Sauer, a more expensive gun with a heavier trigger pull.

Currently many police departments across the US are switching from the Glock too much safer handguns such as the Sig Sauer and the Heckler and Koch citing the rise in accidental discharges. But the Glocks have several other problems that could be classified as safety issues.

The gun exhibits a tendency to jam if not properly held; a phenomenon Glock calls “Limp Wristing”. This is somewhat of a common occurrence with the Glock handgun but one, which is rarely if ever seen with other handguns. Most jams occur when a short round is encountered or some internal component fails, but the Glock exhibits this tendency at random and it will vary from shooter to shooter a very uncomfortable dilemma to have if you use your firearm for self-defense or duty.

Another problem with the Glock had to do with its failing chambers when used with high pressure ammunition, ammo carried by most police while on duty and favored by civilians for self defense. This problem has occurred mainly in a .40 caliber version of the Glock, but nonetheless must still be considered in the equation as we evaluate the safety of this handgun.

All in all the Glock handgun has the most documented cases of accidental discharge and safety related failures of any handgun currently in law enforcement use to date. This, Glock admits does not include those accidental discharges by private owners that go unreported and failures of key components. Some weapons designer's summation of the handgun is that it is very dangerous for all shooters, from the highly trained police officerin a tense situation to the ill trained home owner awaken at 3:00AM by the sound of an intruder.

In short the deficiency of a real safety, second-rate quality and the inherent design flaws of the gun make this a poor choice for anyone looking to purchase a handgun.

Hey Pat. Hey Paul. Miss you guys around here, lol.

Same with us. Like, we don't really "operate" or anything, but you'd think they'd give a military unit decent shit. And they NEVER let us procure any non-pogue good gear of our own choosing and preference. Sigs? HKs? 1911's? Berettas? Hahahaha yeah right. We're at the bottom of totem pole when it comes to weapons and equipment. So now we're stuck with Glocks. Since we have no knowledge of, input towards, nor evaluation time for any weapons we carry ever, we had hoped that maybe these Glocks might be just okay. Obviously, their not because the CounterStrike gun gurus and action movie buffs don't get attached to guns that aren't featured in their entirely vicarious combat experience. :(

>pull the trigger
>the gun fires

That's what it's supposed to do.

The incompetence of urban, coastal, unionized police officers is not a flaw in the firearm, it's a flaw in our society.

They are some of the best leather holsters on the market for the price. It's entirely the owners fault for not properly taking care of the leather, and also for choosing the wrong type of hosted for what I assume to be iwb. He would've been much better served with a Kydex type holster as it seems all his sweat loosened up the leather.

Most NDs from police occurred when the department switched from revolvers to semi automatics. The NDs were erroneously blamed on Glock instead of the lack of training.

I'd like to start by apologizing to the millions of readers, students, and members of law enforcement who have relied on my many years of expertise in the defensive use firearms. Obviously, thanks to the diligent fanboys of other pistols whose knowledge and experience with really cool action movies and FPS video games supercedes my firearms knowledge and experience in every way, we now know that the Glock is a dangerous, ineffective handgun that fails in commonly encountered environments, like a room full of those fanboys' wrists, for example.

What a rare treat.

alright, what does that have to do with the glock

>>31344985
It's not an appeal to authority when every one of those people or units has repeatedly put many different pistols into adverse conditions and found it to be the best. Sometimes these evaluations have been strictly scientific, like the IDF and FBI service weapon evals.

If I posted a link to an article in a prestigious peer-reviewed academic journal saying Glocks were awesome, you'd say it was an appeal to authority. Sometimes, authority is earned for a reason -- appealing to the ruling of a king or other leader simply because the leader says this or that is where that fallacy applies. Saying all these guys who test and run guns and who have combat experience and who may choose whichever handgun that exceeds all the other handguns is "an appeal to authority" is some serious jew lawyer sophistry.

A responsible parent never would have created a situation where their child could access their pistol, even worse that this was a fucking cop that had their gun just laying around, where a toddler could get it. I hope he's in prison for child murder, and he's a piece of shit. How is this the fault of the pistol? Because if it had a safety, MAYBE it would have saved her life? What if she flipped the safety while fucking with it? if she can unintentionally fingerfuck the bangswitch, there's nothing to say a safety would have remained engaged. the only thing that could have saved her was not having a complete piece of shit for a father, dumbass

I don't even own Glocks but they aren't "dangerous" aside from not having a manual safety. Dumb gun owners don't take that into consideration and get negligent discharges. They're perfectly fine guns, but you can't handle them like you handle guns with manual safeties.
