Hi folks,

Well, I am back from vacation, and upon picking my new issues of Gun Week
(ihmo, the best politics and industry watch), I saw two articles on Glock
problems in '92.

Main news:

o	Glock VP Karl Walters has been fired due to his inability to 
	handle problems effectively during '92 and his big "entertainment
	spending" on his clients in exotic nightclubs and restaurants
	in Atlanta GA.

o	His successor is unknown at this time - all problems and issues
	are being handled by the regional managers.

o	Massachusetts State Police reportedly turned down a Glock offer 
	of over 2000 FREE pistols (valued near $1 million) and instead 
	opted to BUY the Sig pistols.

o	Testing of Glock .40, .45 and 10mm pistols by independent quality
	inspection firms say that the Glock pistols are contributory
	factors in Glock blow-ups that are caused by reloaded ammo.  The
	article did not mentioned about Glock 9mm pistols.  One article
	mentioned "not enough chamber support above the feed ramp" as
	a factor in blow-ups.

o	Slam-fire problems plus the above problems are the reasons for the
	largest Glock upgrade (about 320,000 pistols which was manufactured
	before Oct. '91).

o	The article also goes on mentioning that '92 is the most difficult
	year for Glock, with frequent problems of slam-fire and blow-ups
	reported in from the law enforcement and civilian markets.  Karl
	Walters did not deal with these problems fast enough and thereby
	unable to suppress the media impact.  I guess this will hurt Glock
	in present and future sales (as illustrated by the Mass State Police
	deal).

Well, I don't have the articles with me at work, but will bring it in later
and maybe I can quote directly from the articles if you want specifics.
Well, if i have time too...

BTW, I still think my Glock 19 (recent mfg.) is the best 9mm around! :-)
