Picture Ed FAIL of the Day

Ok slightly pedantic, but this is their JOB people.

Not A Glock

“But how can you tell Pavlov’s Cat you pedant?”

Well it could be that I know that the Safety Catch on a Glock is in the trigger (which it isn’t above) and that the frame of a Glock is made from an advanced polymer (again which the above isn’t) or that I have a 1:1 Airsoft Glock 17

Or I could just Google Images Glock Pistol  and see that that is not a Glock Pistol.

Now as you can see the image was lifted from somebody called ‘Internet’ so why didn’t the Picture Ed do what I did, it is his/her job after all.

This is a Glock 17  a bit of a difference.

Glock17

Actual Story Here

 

Update: Prompted by Mark in the comments, for those of you dying to know, the actual pistol in the first image is a Sig-Sauer P220 and the image was lifted from here.

Yes, well spotted and everything, so what type of weapon is it?

Pavlov's Cat said...

Going by the Safety Catch and trigger shape ,
I'm going with a SIG-Sauer P220 , probably an early model

and guess what if you Google image search 'SIG-Sauer P220' whats the first picture that comes up, the one above

Have to say, the Glock is a manly piece of equipment.

But when you absolutely, positively, gotta kill every mother in the whole damn room, you should (I'm told), accept no substitute.... ;)

@Blue
Every birthday I wish for a Glock 19 and an MP5, once again I expect to be sadly disappointed

PC, you are the man!

James Higham said...

Safety catch in the trigger, eh?

Pavlov's Cat said...

@James Yes it is

LSP said...

Spotted. Not a Glock. My next pistol? Glock 17... after Browning Buckmark (cheap ammo).

Cheers.

@ LSP Not something to worry us here in the disarmed UK where even the possession of pistol ammunition is a Strict Liability offense whether you have a gun to go with it or not.
