I bought the wife a G42 for her birthday last year and she just loved it, (She has a G17 that she can outshoot me with) but after taking it to the range a few times we were both very disappointed. I know 4 other G42 owners with the same issues.
It is all a matter of scale, and one reason why so many recommend not buying guns and such until they have been available to the public for at least a year.Just sharing my experience with our G42 and warranty work in case anyone else has these problems. 001 issue can suddenly pop up with enough numbers to get lawsuits and other problems. Then it gets to the public and suddenly you have millions of users and decades of use. No problem for thousands of people over 3 years of testing. In the factory test you might not find it at all, but after the release you now have multiple bad guns. Let's say we have a flaw that manifests itself once every 500 guns. so your chance of finding a problem goes up significantly. But then the guns are released to the public and then you get an increase in scale that is huge. Glock (or SA, or Colt, or S&W, etc.) might test 100 guns with 1000 rounds each and not find a problem. Who was it that said, "Never buy the first model of anything." (he probably drove a new Edsel)Ĭompanies do plenty of research on their guns before they release them. I don't think "stupid" is too harsh a term in releasing sidearms that may go Full-Auto without warning.Īlso is Remington, that just released their R-51 sidearm and was quickly discovered to be a train-wreck.
Good company to make such a stupid mistake. 45acp with what looks like a roll-pin through the grip safety (to prevent it from going FA). Just last year Springfield Armory released the XDs in 9mm & 45acp, and it was almost immediately "recalled", but a diff term than recall. I got it back within 2 weeks (LE Priority), with a "1-" in front of the original serial number. they used a diff term than "recall", though. I was once issued the new G31 (.357Sig) and the frame was recalled. Was the design really 100% functional during its pre-release 'testing'? An unacceptable error on a 'Life or Death' tool.įYI, Glock stamps a "1" on all recalled/redesigned parts. Strange how a company the size of Glock messed up so badly.
