You forgot to add a descriptor in there... it should be: "from it's empty, JAMMED, and still-smoking frame..."
Yeah, I know what I just started.But I don't think much of Glocks. Whether it's at the range or in the news (like the guy who just shot the priest at the church) when I hear of a pistol jamming, it's almost always a Glock. Notice how most po-po depts don't use them anymore?
I'm a Heckler & Koch man, myself. I have an H&K USP .40 compact. A good carry pistol, but I don't carry. Buy quality if you're going to rely on a pistol for your safety.
Riff Raff's advice seems very solid to me, but his needs are different than most people's...
