  12. In article <C1711D.307@constellation.ecn.uoknor.edu> callison@kittyhawk.ecn.uoknor.edu (James P. Callison) writes:
  13. #He said that the 10mm has been known to crack frames (which I knew), but
  14. #that, when it happens on a Glock, you're going to get a face full of slide,
  15. #as the part which retains the slide is exactly where the frame cracks...

  17. The California Highway Patrol, when they tested the Glock 10mm did
  18. find some cracking problems (I believe in that part of the gun), but
  19. they were using prototypes which Glock had specifically stated should
  20. _not_ be used in prolonged tests. The production 10mm were slightly
  21. redesigned to reduce/eliminate this problem.
