A finger on the trigger squeezing rearward is required unless the weapon is damaged or modified. Exactly, damaged or modified. Not sure if the newer ones ship with the same bokklet or not, but when I bought my dad his Glock, the manual said to change the springs every 2000 rounds. The other big problem is half assed reloads. > [@Drug bust](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/drug-bust/27875/5): > > I’m not a big fan of the ‘feel’ of most Glocks. I prefer either an HK USP or a Kel-Tec for carry. Depending on what I’m wearing. The Kel-Tec’s small enough to fit in a pocket nicely. I don’t go anywhere without my Kel-Tec. And in having it over 2 years, it has a a total of 3 jams, all with in the first 100 rounds, all with older off brand, cheap gun show ammo. Since that time I have shot magtech for practice, and speep gold dot, or handloads for protection. Without any problems at all. But I will say, these guns like to be clean, and very, very litlle lube come a LONG way… > [@Funny Vids, Pics and GIFs thread \*WORK SAFE\*](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/funny-vids-pics-and-gifs-thread-work-safe/38638/125): > > JackdUp- Taurus revolvers are basically the same thing as Smith and Wesson revolvers; I can’t remember the specifics, but Taurus actually bought out and owned Smith and Wesson for quite some time, and stole all of their designs and even their tooling. I’m really suprised that you had problems with a Taurus revolver. That’s the first I’ve ever heard of someone having issues with a Taurus revolver. > > Taurus semi-autos are another story all together. I also had a PT111 that constantly malfunctioned. Taurus semi-autos are iffy at best, with the exception of their Beretta 92 series knock offs which seem pretty decent. Note that I didn’t mention Taurus when discussing quality pistols, only revolvers. At last count our collection housed about 8 Taurus’, both revolvers and semis. The only problem we have had, was my wife was at the range doing some target shooting, and the take down pin broke on her PT111. Really have had no issues with jams or misfires at all. But then I know people that have had no problems with Hi-point either, not myself, but I do know one guy. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/glock-owners-check-this-out/187937)._
