by ToddG 226 Comments

When will the Glock 17 have its first stoppage?

Rules:

  1. One entry per person. You cannot guess again once your number has been surpassed, or before your number is reached, or under any other circumstance. If you pick a number that has already been picked by someone else, you lose; you cannot guess again.
  2. Entries are submitted via comment to this post.
  3. Posting anything other than your guess disqualifies you permanently.
  4. The email address you use when posting the comment must be valid. If we cannot reach the winner, the next closest guess wins.
  5. We’ll use Price is Right rules. Whoever guesses closest without going over is the winner.
  6. For purposes of this contest, “stoppage” will apply to the first instance in which the G17 test gun fails to go completely through its normal cycle of operation, except for stoppages which are determined by pistol-training.com to be ammunition-induced. Essentially, anything that earns stoppage, malfunction, or breakage in the tally being kept each week.
  7. Guesses must be numerical, you cannot pick a date or “never.”
  8. No purchase necessary. Contest and offer void where prohibited by law.

Prizes:

  • Pick the exact round count at which the stoppage occurs and you win a certificate good for one free pistol-training.com class. (this certificate is fully transferable so if you do not want it or cannot use it, you can at least sell it on the black market)
  • If no one picks the exact round count, whoever comes closest without going over will win a pistol-training.com hat and a $50 gift certificate good towards any pistol-training.com class.

Train hard & stay safe! ToddG

  1. So no ammo related stoppages right? WHAT ammo is this “test” going to be conducted with?

    The “no ammo stoppage” is a fairly broad statement that could cover just about anything anybody wants it to be! Pending who looks at what & why. FTF, FTE, stovepipes, etc. can all be ammo related,,, no?

    Sounds to me we are looking for a total part failure of sorts.

  12. Wow… more than a little pessimism that I hope proves to be unfounded.

    Ron — best answer I can give is to check out previous years’ tests.
