Old Glock tupperware case...

So you have Tupperware in Tupperware, match made in Heaven.

Ummm, no. Tupperware did not, and does not refer to the firearm itself... just the storage case.

You have your definition and I have mine. Plenty of forums out there discussing Tupperware guns which includes any gun manufactured with polymers. If you don't keep up definitions can evolve and leave some desperately clinging to the original outdated definition in order to make themselves feel secure about their purchase.

I have honestly never heard of any other pistol referred to as Tupperware... only Glock, and again, the reason was obvious. Glock was not the first polymer handgun, so if the nickname was due to the polymer frame, wouldn't have folks called the H&K gun tupperware? But whatever... I have steel pistols, I have polymer pistols, I have revolvers. If I was limited to just one, it would be my Glock. Have had it for 12 years, carried it many days during those 12 years... have never had a malfunction and have never shot myself with it.

Reholster any gun with care and deliberation. Like takeoff and landing in an airplane, drawing and holstering requires discipline.

Nicely put.

Whenever I teach new folks and we go through the 4 Rules, I mention that I see them as being written in the blood of those many who've died and that we'd do well to heed those lessons always; there's never a point at which they no longer apply to us.

Excellent! I'm going to use this line at this evening's practice with the kids and before their match Saturday.

Well stated Andy.
