J. Parker,

I responded to the CHP myth, which is a myth. Glock sent them pistols to examine not to put through testing. CHP did the testing without authorization. So in effect it wasn't Glock's fault, how could they anticipate someone else's actions? To say that Glocks failed CHP testing and S&W passed is unfair. The details must be included. I don't mention San Bernardino so why do you bring it up? As I understand it they had an issue with G21 mags that Glock immediately addressed. In fact they still issue G21s and G17s to their officers.

I don't get the reference you make to my suggestion to visit http://www.sigforum.com My intent was to point out a dedicated web site where mostly loyalists post. Even there you'll find complaints of frame gouging. If the loyalists complain than that tells me something. I had a terrible experience with frame gouging. Later I learned it's common on SIG Sauer pistols, so I reiterate go to the sigforum and do a search and you'll find plenty of posts. I agree that people should go over to http://www.glocktalk.com There loyalists complain about kB!s So your point is what? Bottom line, Glocks rock. Compare the agencies that have had problems with the thousands of agencies that have gotten top performance and one outweighs another. I'm sure it's the same with SIG Sauer.
