Takes a licking and keeps on ticking
Shooters love to, well, shoot the breeze about their favorite guns, and one topic that seems to pop up over and over again is: Which pistol is the most reliable, no matter how badly neglected, misused and abused.
This fellow has gone to absurd lengths -- stupendously insane lengths -- to try and answer that question.
Mud? Check.
Salt water? Check.
Talcum powder? Check.
Dropped out of a plane? Check.
Shot at with another gun? Check.
Honestly, I'd never do any of this to one of my own guns, but it's good to know I could, if I lost my marbles and wanted to, and it'd still reliably feed, fire and eject.
"Glock perfection" is the company's catchphrase, but "When it's your life on the line, Glock" seems apropos, too.
