  1. A forum member came through BIG TIME. Thanks for the solution!
  2. Well it was my daughter, I have no control over that. It just bugs me that it is a pistol with 100 rounds. Imagine if the pistol falls with the slide locked back… I just don’t think a pistol that is used in combat should do that.
  3. Nobody has given me a good replacement brand!!! C’mon guys a little help please
  4. No, it was brand new. I the owner is a good friend of mine and a very serious dealer. Very good reputation. The glock armorers said that is was a perfect storm fall. Apparently they do that is dropped on that specific area. There are a few posts on other forums with people having this happen to them.
  5. The think is that there are absolutely no marks on that area... it is mind puzzling
  6. I purchased a brand new Glock 19 Gen 5 Sat Oct 1st at my local gun shop. On Monday I shot 100 rounds of Blazer 124 Brass and went to clean my pistol in the evening. I was teaching my 7 year old daughter how to clean a handgun and she dropped the slide while attempting to scrub it with a microfiber towel. She dropped it over concrete and I looked at it and all I had was a small scratch by the front sight, maddening but she is learning. Anyway, I went to put it together and it wouldn’t go that is when I noticed the right side was bent in cracked. Now Glock wants to charge me for a whole new slide ($200). Granted it was dropped but from the height of a 7 year old girl... a slide should not bend like that, you drop an Sig slide from that height and will chip the floor. Needles to say I need a slide that can take a beating and is battle worthy, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
  7. Any luck finding primers??? I have had leads on some but people asking as high as $150 for 1K small pistol. Where is the best place to get primers and what is a fair price?
  8. So I finally was able to get a Tomasie Custom, now I need a great gunsmith to install a *thumb rest [generic]* and trigger job. My regular guy came up with the “I am too busy story” and he is telling me 4-6 months. What say you?
  9. Those are all good opinions! Thanks guys! I like the idea of steel challenge!
  10. Thanks guys! he is a pretty tall and athletic kid, I will try the controls, that is a great point!
  11. My 12 y/o son is wanting to start pistol shooting. I have a Beretta 92X Performance collecting dust at home and I was thinking about letting him use it for production and eventually Limited minor (the 92X Performance can start single action with safety on) until he is ready for a true limited or open gun. What are your thoughts?? Thanks!
  12. I have a FM lower with Hold Bolt Open feature. Will any of these in short stroke let bolt stay back? Is there a way to tune it so they do? Thanks!
  13. Thanks guys! I used that gun for IDPA for a while before jumping into uspsa a few years ago... SS minor it is! Thanks again
  14. As the title says, thinking about going back to competing but I have virtually 0 competition gear right now. I want to get to shoot open, I used to compete limited, but all I have left is a single stack 9mm 1911. Should I shoot Limited 10 minor or Single stack minor? Thoughts?
  15. In my search for a budget limited gun I came across this one... Any input or opinions? Thanks! https://www.remington.com/handguns/model-1911-r1/1911-r1-tomasie-custom-double-stack
  16. Hello everyone, does anyone here practice dry fire with a fire pin activated laser insert? I am looking to practice with my rifle to get better at trigger control and breathing. I have seen a few apps out there to have shots recorded. Any experience with any of these or are they just crapy apps? Thanks
  17. The few shots I have taken with mine have been with my load and I love it!! 147 plated 3.2 gr titegroup with federal primers., COAL 1.130
  18. Ok because that is what I am looking to go to.
  19. Good there is consensus this is probably nothing to be worried about!
  20. Quick question here. I am using 147gr xtreme bullets for my 9mm. I have used this setup for only those bullets. I ran out of them and the only thing I could find was Berry’s bullets. When I run the Berry’s through the seating die it gives me a weird circular deformation at the tip, almost like nipple looking. Has this happened to any of you? BTW they are going to correct OAL.
