This would not be allowed at any range I have ever shot at and it is extremely foolish. Why are there people standing in front of the firing line taking pictures during shooting?

It's had roughly 900 rounds through it with only one failure to cycle. A weak round of WWB was the problem. Didn't see the bullet hit, recoil felt very weak, the slide did a partial cycle and went back into battery, but not enough to eject the brass. Double checked for a squib and barrel was clear. weird.

Thats alot of shooting quickly so no wonder. My hands would have gotten fatigued too. I agree the few failures looked like limp wristing to me. Thats alot of shooting quickly so no wonder.

Can't blame the gun or ammo. Looks like most the misfires were when he was limp wristed one hand shooting so the slide did fullt retract. Can’t blame the gun or ammo.

Also that 2100fps (!) is that the list velocity or from a chrono? I thought Arcane was built to be used in then-current guns so I'm surprised it is +p+ and not standard (but hot) pressure levels. Thanks Hey Spiff,

Excellent! I have a Browning 9mm HP made in Belgium during WWII - has the Nazi eagle/swastika stamp on the frame and barrel. From what you've said, the +P+ shouldn't be a problem for that, either, right? OK, so if the Glock 19 will handle the 2100fps stuff, the mere 1326 fps, 40000 psi +P+ should be no sweat! Excellent!

The Smith & Wesson model 5946 and the Sig Sauer P226 both of which are 9mm. Along with the Glock 19 these are the three pistols offered by the NYPD and before being approved for service by the department they are all torture tested with 15,000 Gold Dot 9mm +P's due to the fact that those are the Ammunition carried on duty. So although I have all the love in the world for Glock S&W and Sig are doing their homework also.

I'm new to the Glock 19. I currently have a SR9 which I love but can't get accessories or CT lasers to go on it. The only thing I dislike about the G19 is the grip. I contacted Glock a couple of months ago about the 4th generation guns, namely a 4th gen G19. Has anyone heard anything else. I would prefer to have one of those. Hey folks. I’m new to the Glock 19.
