Just to check my memory, I bounced this off somebody who worked full time at the communications desk at that time. I don’t really know how Glock managed to dodge that bullet, but I do know those NLETS messages were not generated by ‘Glock bashers. If patrol cars, shotguns, or OC canisters had been blowing up like that, there would have been hell to pay MAJOR recalls, citing specific failures and serial # ranges, once the manufacturer acknowledged the problem.
