Default New York Times clueless

Here's their photo of a "Glock .40 cal"

http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2012/07/24/us/GUNS-2.html

I guess no one reads at the New York Times because you can clearly see that it says 45 ACP on the slide.

In reality, this is most likely a Les Baer 1911 Ultimate Master 6" Model .45 ACP. You can see "LES" and "ER" on the shipping label on the box in the NYT photo..

What do you expect, they have two strikes against them from the start...
1. They are part of the media
2. They are from New York

Shouldn't this be posted in the Glock Forum

Leftist reporters can't be bothered with little details like proper identification of their subject matter.
