Does a Glock go "click"?

In the Virginia shooting, where the shooter had a Glock, they said after a number of shots, that the gun went "click", and they knew the gun was empty.

Does a Glock do that?  My Colt 1911 locks open when empty, and there is no click. 

I have seen "in movies", semi autos go "click, click, click" when empty.  I always assumed that was just movie magic.  Do some autos go click when empty?

My semi-auto 22 Ruger goes click on the first pull past empty. Needs to fire to rooster, so 1 click would be possible for any semi-auto that does not stay open on last fire :cooldude:

Glock actions are open after the last shot.  You can force the trigger and make it "click" but it feels different and takes more pressure.  It's striker fired, not a hammer like a 1911.  There is no "click click click" possible.

I've heard of some amazing gun lore from ignorant lefty reporters.  One reported a perp was using a "9mm automatic revolver".  Just the other day, one referred to all police sidearms as "revolvers" - which haven't been used as issue sidearms for a couple decades.  There are more such fails that prove the ignorance of the media.  I take anything they say with a shaker of salt.

If you are still standing around until the final click, you are a moron... or a sheep (or a reporter).

It was the lady wounded. Said he came to give her a head shot, and it went click. So possible once with glock.

Maybe it jammed because of the way the moron was shooting it. I have had a couple pistols that would jam if not held tightly.
