Glock: only going bang when you pull the trigger since 1982.
Busch said SEPTA made an emergency purchase of 350 new Glock 17s and holsters to replace the P320s.
He said the transit agency chose the Glock because the model is known to be safe and reliable, and manufacturers can produce the firearm quickly.
The first question is - was it and upgraded or post upgrade gun ?Originally Posted by GJM
If not - it’s just another example of a known issue.
Well... I love Glock and carry 2 daily. But they did have a slam fire incident in NYPD early on. Was it before ‘82?
What seems odd, is I believe the article says the 320 wasn’t dropped, it went off in his holster walking around.

They were upgraded guns according to the article.
“But the company did respond to reports of drop firing with a “voluntary upgrade program” for owners. The program offered free modifications to the P320, including the lighter trigger, designed to prevent such occurrences. SEPTA’s guns were among those upgraded in 2017, SEPTA said.”
Could’ve been bubba-smithed I suppose. It’s a bit warm for a jacket to have a pull tab get inside the holster.
Article says “SEPTA’s guns were among those upgraded in 2017, SEPTA said.”
Whether that’s actually true remains to be seen. I took a SEPTA train from/to and then to/from the very Suburban Station where this occurred for years. Let’s just say I wouldn’t be surprised to learn it’s customary for Swiss parents to tell their children that if they misbehave they will be sent to work for SEPTA.

Is it a known issue, though? I only knew of the drop safety issue, not the gun-randomly-goes-boom issue.
