Tulsa Police Dept recently released a video of an officer involved shooting. It would be awesome if someone here with more internet foo than me could go to their FB page and share it here.
Great work by the cops. At 7:15 or so the video shows an officer clearing a failure with his G17.
Be interesting to know more about that. A TPD Sgt posted today that they are still looking into the Glock issue.

Who said Glocks never fail?
Shooter
Ammunition
Maintenance
Malfunction
It's really easy to limpwrist a pistol if you don't shoot very much.

I didn't have enough info (date, situation, story title, brief synopsis) to locate whatever video story Post_1 is referring. The FB website for Tulsa P.D. just has too many story links.
(deleted by myself, linked a video without Glock malfunction)

Worthless without a link to the video or even a news article.
Keep in mind the number one cause of LEO weapon malfunctions is.... operator error.

Prolly gunked up from lack of maintenance. Anyway, people are pretty realistic about Glocks here and not jingoistic about brands.

Wow, it’s like I’m clairvoyant.
Shooting here:

Office in the middle (McRees) gets off several shots and his slide lock to the rear. when he notices it he racks the slide overhand putting the gun back into battery and chambering another round without any other corrective action.
TLDR version, the officers grip caused the slide release lever to engage prematurely- I.e. operator error. I’ve seen this happen several times, usually with people running extended slide release levers, - operator error.
IME Glocks are surprisingly tolerant of neglect, Cheeto crumbs etc. this one was an operator induced malfunction.
Says the guy what have broken every brand of duty gun issued to him including an HK.
I‘ve had 3 Glocks barf on me pretty seriously, including an otherwise reliable gen3 17 in a Matt Graham class. I’ve also been involved in locking up (and sending back to the factory) a GP-100, a Vaquero Sheriff’s model SA and 3 j-frames; over about a 30-year period. And that’s just the guns with a reputation for being reliable.
