KBs in Glocks is real, but I have some knowledge of other brands also KBing, to include (a pair!) H&K with issued duty ammo, Colt 1911, Witness (no, NOT mine LOL), and EVERY OTHER brand.

'Generous' chambers and insufficient case neck tension; the bane of modern autoloaders.
Can be any brand, but Glock gets blamed due to their sudden popularity and inexperienced owners, crappy ammo, and incorrect ammo handling.

Glock makes a good gun, just like Ruger or Beretta or SIG or H&K or S&W or any of the others, but it is NOT overly susceptible to 'KBs'.
Just bad ammo.

I owned a 10mm; I owned a M17; I sold both due to my personal issue with grip feel and angle, even after reduction.
