ETA: For those that lack reading comprehension.

Lost from a kayaking accident, it sat in ocean floor until a fisherman snagged it nearly half a year later. Local PD did ballistics and successfully fired in the condition it was found.

I wonder if any of the cartridges would still fire ...

Maybe...but the owner states in the comments that he hasn't tried and will not try firing any of the ammo.

I wouldn't have thought that Glocks would sink.

The ocean floor is a good place for one....

Where was this for the PD to find the owner, a registration state or maybe he reported the serial number as lost?

From that article:

I’ve since cleaned the rust and muck, sand blasted, re coated, changed the trigger and firing pin spring and no issues whatsoever. This is why Glock is the standard and will always be my no.1 carry.

Dude, clean up any pistol, sand blast it, recoat it, and replace the trigger and firing pin, and it’d likely work again. Hardly a fair testimony.

FYI...The local PD fired it in the condition it was found. The guy cleaned it up later.

Ha! I knew someone would overlook the fact that it was first fired in the condition it was found. Haters gonna hate.

Nobody is hating. We're always interested in the pistol that can survive being run over by a tank.
Some of us learn the wrong lesson: Don't leave your pistol in the road.
