There's a huge difference between wearing out and simply failing because it's old.

Metal doesn't change over even hundreds of years.
Most plastics do, with many becoming brittle with time. I'm not saying that is the case with a Glock. But it's at least a remote possibility. The oldest Glocks are now about 40 years old and they work fine.

How will they be when they are 120 years old, like the oldest gun I own. I don't know. Neither do most people.
