And so the infinite loop begins. Be sure to nudge them toward a 9x18 Glock and single stack 9mm while you're at it.

You'd better hope I don't get to that time machine first!

Wait, I don't think I did that right... :P

Because you might accidentally kill my grandfather, preventing me from existing to be able to use the time machine in the first place? :P

Marlin 60, I had the trigger go dead. Took the gun apart and found what has to be the smallest freaking spring known to man was the culprit. It's shoots ok now but I know that spring will be the cause of future headaches

9x18 Glock is totally possible- in fact, a drop-in barrel could convert a Glock 25 or 28 to 9x18.

There is a lot of great barrel swaps for the Glocks, most notably the lonewolf 40 to 9 conversion. If you really wanted one, you could call them up and get a custom done. Would be expensive though.

I believed in the rotating magazines thing myself for a long time, it was actually a debate on here that led to me changing my opinion. No magic or placebo involved, it's just a myth a lot of people continue to believe. I'll try to search for the thread in which I was soundly bitchsmacked with logic on this topic.

It must be a question of metallurgy, because I've seen a number of older magazines loaded for years that did indeed take a set. I just had one the other day, an old Colt Woodsman mag from an estate sale that was probably left loaded for 10+ years.
