So I just got back from a road trip for work. I was driving for a couple of hours and saw a gun shop up ahead. I figured I needed a break so I stopped in and took a look around.
I was pleasantly surprised by their inventory and prices. They had a fair of 1911's and they seemed well priced to me. As I was browsing the grey haired man behind the counter asked if I was interested in any of the 45's. I said I am always interested in 1911's so he showed me a colt 80 series and a SA GI model. Then I mentioned something about glocks.
The salesman showed me a 26 and then compared it to the XD equivalent. He then told me how much better a XD was and I simply listened. I make my mind up on people by listening to what they say. The salesman tells me that he is retired LE and that glocks shoot well, but they have no safeties. He then informs me that he has seen duty glocks fire all by themselves.
I was informed by so called retired LEO that glocks go off all the time by themselves. He even told me that you don't hear about it because glock settles out of court and the settlement calls for all parties to never mention what happened.
I then inquire as to what department he retired from and he tells me corrections. Corrections don't typically carry guns. At this point I thank him for his time and tell him I would need to consider possibly purchasing the colt or the SA. I will never go back there and I don't appreciate the BS.
