I am keeping the glock 27. Sweet carry gun.
My G27 is not going anywhere either. It's my favorite gun and the most versatile IMO.
A box of cheap ammo for it isn't that much more than a box of 9...

Google "Glock Blow Up" The Glock chambered in .40 cal is mention the most. Not to sure how common that problem is but it caused a few of my friends to ditch their 40 cal Glocks

Without getting into the whole debate about supported chambers and so on and so forth:
As a homework assignment I want you to look up the four highest selling pistols by brand in .40S&W since the cartridge was introduced, then look and see how many instances you can find of each of those having kB issues. Then sort the data for reloads and factory ammo. Then report back.
In many tens of thousands of rounds I've fired through over a hundred guns, I've had one gun blow up on me. None was a Glock .40. It was most certainly caused by my reloading, lessons learned. No, I will not post the details.
Any gun can have sudden catastrophic failure. The real number of interest in not how many instances of kB you can find, it's how many instances per gun per round fired you can find. A one in a million chance is going to happen lots of times when there's several million guns out there each having fired hundreds to thousands of rounds.
It's pretty impressive to say X gun is 4 times (number drawn out of my ***) as likely to blow up than brand Y, until you see that brand Y has a .0001% chance and brand X has a .0004% chance.
Any gun can blow up, even using factory ammo. It's a risk you take each and every time you pull the trigger.
One thing you never see in any of the reports is how well any of the owner clean and maintained their firearm or how much lead ammo was shot threw the firearm before the "kb" issue.
Yeah...lol. Just like you can pick it put after being buried in the sand and shot it without clearing the barrel I remeber the first time I heard that one. lmfaoGlocks do not need to be cleaned.
While I wouldn't recommend such a practice, especially for a gun that you are trusting your life too:Glocks do not need to be cleaned.
