A Glock can only be fired if the trigger is depressed, meaning accidental falls from holsters and other objects to the ground cannot, for example, cause a hammer to fly forward and impact the primer. Without human interaction, the three safeties, including the trigger safety, will prevent the handgun from firing.

All Glocks are legal in Mass (with the exception of most full auto Glock 18s). If you can find it for sale in the state, you can buy it and own it. You have “legal” confused with “compliant”. Glocks made after 1998 are not Mass compliant and therefore cannot be transferred by a Massachusetts dealer.

It’s a safety feature. If the second one isn’t depressed you can’t pull the real trigger back.

The Sig is appealing to those who desire a slightly shorter handgun and a manual safety or decocker. The lighter Glock, on the other hand, is a little easier to carry on a daily basis. Neither is decisively better than the other, leaving the choice between the two a matter of priorities and taste.

Most jams with Glocks are caused by limp wristing the gun (not holding onto the gun right), almost any automatic will do that but we see it most from Glock and FN in new shooters. Crappy ammo will sometimes do this too, especially reloads that were not resized properly.

Rubber bullets, rubber buckshot, soft polymer rounds, wax bullets, plastic bullets, beanbag rounds, sponge grenades, ring airfoil projectiles (both kinetic and tear gas projectiles) and rubber bullets with electroshock effect (e.g. Taser XREP rounds) are less lethal than conventional metal bullets, and are also …

The 5 Most Controversial Handgun Rounds

1. Winchester Black Talon. Image is in public domain.
2. G2 R.I.P.
3. Jihawg Ammo. This ammo was not only controversial, some called it downright offensive.
4. 4. “ Armor-piercing” ammo and Teflon-coated bullets.
5. All hollow point ammo. Image from Dinomite on the Wikimedia Creative Commons.

Rubber bullets are less than lethal ammunition. It will not stop an attacker, only inconvenience them.

Originally Answered: What caliber kills the most? Statistically, within the United States anyway, that would be the 22 Long Rifle cartridge. The 22 bolt action rifle is the most common of all firearms, found in the household of nearly every gun owner.

Yes, a 9 mm can injure or kill a bear. The bear will die of his injuries, but he will still have enough life left in him to do you in, before he dies. You will not have a side shot if a grizzly bear is charging you, and most likely your 9mm will only inrage him, and make him try his best to kill you.

FMJ is usually prohibited because it hammers the snot out of the backstops or is perceived to have a higher richochet risk due to the bullet remaining intact after impact. A 223 will pretty much do that with any softer metals.

It is a small-arms projectile, it can be used in concealed carry guns. Hollow point bullets are better for shoot to kill and self-defense situations. As full metal jacket ammo is cleaner and stronger than hollow point. So there is no risk of unintended impact further down the range.

This is mainly due to the fact that FMJ rounds are significantly cheaper than your average hollow point. It’s also due to the fact that, from a “put the attacker down” point of view, FMJ rounds aren’t exactly ideal. That’s not to say that FMJ rounds are useless for defense. Far from it, in fact.

FMJ is the basic round and legal everywhere. Whereas hollow point or +P rounds may be questionable.

More types of 9mm ammo exist than just FMJ or Hollow Point. Most police officers now use Hollow Point rounds, because when you shoot somebody it fragments and splits up inside them and is less likely to exit and harm an innocent bystander.
