Them be fight'n words! I love my Rugers! They all shoot great. The only one I'm not that great at shooting with for some reason is my P95 9mm. I still need to pick up a 10/22. I bought a 50 round drum for one and I don't even have the gun. I figured I'd buy the clip before they don't sell them anymore.
I have:
Ruger Super Black Hawk, Single Action .44 Magnum
Ruger MKII Competition Model .22
Ruger P95 DC 9mm
Ruger Mini 14 Ranch Rifle .223
Jason, What also works is if you have a vice and a bullet... you get the vice and you put the bullet in it then you it the end with a hammer, easy simple, gun...
I personally run far and run fast from anything built by glock. There .40 caliber weapons I know for a fact sometimes have a tendency to explode do to intentionally sloppy manufacturing methods. The famous glock reliability is partly due to have reamed the firing chamber out farther then normal. IE bigger hole makes it easier for the round to feed into and extract from thus fewer jams. It also leaves the case head unsupported if the ammo is the least but out of spec as can be the case with cheapy ammo. An unsupported case head can explode blowing the side of the gun out. If glock is willing to use cheap cheesy manfacturing methods on one gun they probably do it on all the others and frankly is doesnt speak well of there design team that they choose those methods when making machining correctly in the first place means you dont have to resort to gimmicks to make the gun feed properly.
Sorry about the rant but everyone seems to think glocks float on water. My personal two bits for a plinking gun? A ruger p89. Solid reliable and got a good heft to it. Pretty accurate and you can get them fairly cheap in several calibers.

Yes Jason, my dad had a Glock 20 (10mm) that did something similar to this after using reloaded ammo.
i swear to god why is buying something now days so freakin hard.All ive heard for years is how reliable glocks are and i thought this wouldnt be so freakin hard,now im honestly starting to get pissed.The guys at the gun shops here all cary them and i know alot of law enforcement does.What gives.So all other guns dont ever blow or jam.If you buy a glock now do you get improved technology or what?
Doesn't need any backing. If you dig around wiki in the article about glocks the info is there. IIRC they later on quietly added more support for the case head. Speaks badly for there guns that they tried to cheap out in the first place. Not to mention never admiting anything was wrong. Not trying to be cranky just don't understand the love people have for a company that builds there product cheaper reather then better. There are half a dozen companies in the same price range with a better product.
Controversy arose over Glock's safety standards when in 2001 several instances of explosive malfunction occurred in Glock pistols sold to police departments in the United States.[16][17] Upon pulling the trigger, the cartridge case would rupture and cause an explosion that would tear apart the gun and sometimes send fragments into the shooter's face.
The cause of this malfunction was traced to issues with a purposely oversized (loose), and partially unsupported chamber in Glock's pistols chambered in .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and 10 mm Auto. The chamber lacks full support in the rear by the feed ramp in order to facilitate feed reliability.
Yes the manual mentions don't use cheap ammo or ammo with lead bullets but I can and have run cheap or reloaded ammo through my para ordinance, sigs, and smith and wesson without fear that its going to blow my face off.

^ never personally seen this happen, but i back the statements on the mechanics of glocks. their design to keep the weapon firing even while dirty and not maintained is simply (as riverfishguy stated) make a oversized chamber for easier feeding.
not a good thing as far as im concerned, but you get what you pay for with most guns...

Look into the new springfield Xd series. It's excellent pistol especially for the money. You can get it in several frame sizes and calibers and it looks and feels similar to the glock.
If your wanting to spend even less EAA makes solid low buck pistols. The witness line of guns are good low buck plinkers. Not target pistols but with some tuning by a good gunsmith will turn out pretty good groups
For a little higher price you could look into an older Steel frame smith & wesson. Pretty much a solid lump of high strengh steel and they don't break period. Somewhat heavy but something your great grandkids will still be shooting.
All of the above guns can be had in 9mm and are solid built. Owned or shot all of them also. All three are some of the best in there price ranges imo.
