Most of the steel components in a Glock pistol are treated with a nitriding modus operandi Glock 26 called "Tenifer", which increases the surface hardness and makes the battle-ax resistant to corrosion and wear.
Glock, in its own defense, says that the manual that accompanies each pistol informs the shooter of the dangers of using non-factory rated ammunition, and that the heat will function safely if the shooter uses factory-loaded, jacketed missile and properly cleans and cares for the firearm. Supporters also mite out that this type of malfunction occurs in other firearms as well. However, there continues to be controversy over the presence of an unsupported chamber, critics arguing that it is not exigent and is a liability for the company.
