I like to share the photo below when this topic comes up because I’m a glutton for punishment and because it illustrates the point. I took the photo a couple years ago at a range south of Houston after repeated failures with the gun. The gun belongs to Colion Noir, and is a Gen 3 Glock 19 RTF, and no, it wasn’t staged, and no, it wasn’t due to limp wristing. All guns fail, even Glocks.
