Found this website by accident I thought I might share it. Has lists of recalled firearms, you'd be supprised on which ones they recalled.

If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    I was really supprised, I didn't know Glock ever did a recall.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    I think you will find that almost all of these are 'warnings' not recalls. There aren't many that have escaped the warning list.

    Before you start shipping your guns back to the factories, look a little deeper into that website. If I didn't know better, I'd have to say the site is slanted towards gun control.
    One page has a statement about "another crime with another gun that will have to be investigated by the police" blah, blah, blah.
    It also seems that they are trying to say that almost all of the guns on the market, even the quality guns, are inherently dangerous to everyone, and could go off unprovoked.
    Don't let these people do your thinking for you. I think there may be more than meets the eye here.

    Think you better read a bit further yourself instead of going off half cocked..This is the rest of your quote....

    "This web site will be focusing on just one of the disciplines of Forensic Science, Firearms Identification. Sometimes incorrectly referred to as ballistics, firearms identification can be defined as,

    The identification of fired bullets, cartridge cases or other ammunition components as having been fired from a specific firearm."

    Read the disclaimer at the bottom
    firearmsID.com is a non-profit web site that exists solely as an educational
    and/or investigative aid. This site is not affiliated with any government
    agency, professional organization, or commercial entity.

    View the video,, same one that was posted in here about a guy firing a high powered gun and landing on his butt..

    and finally, read about the guy before making judgement calls.
