hysupra Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Whats up guys? New member here and just wanted to show you guys what I’ve been working on. This is still a project in the works but it's still a great shooting pistol and my favorite out of all my others. Right now I am in college so I don’t have any left over money to spend on it, except on ammo. I haven’t shot any matches yet but I really hope to do so this season. Well here she is, hope you guys like it. G19 Gen 4 Polished stock barrel Gen 3 Zev stainless guide rod/ with adaptor 13lbs recoil spring Zev Lightened firing pin Zev Titanium safety plunger Zev spring kit Just about everything in the gun is polished making for a real smooth action My own trigger job resulting in a 2 pound pull and absolutely no pre/over travel My own stipple and frame work as well Optic is a Leupold Deltapoint with the 7.5 moa triangle Sorry for the horrible pics guys, I'll work on that next time. Thanks for looking Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Interesting build. Richard PS: Try a lighter background and a little more light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hysupra Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks Richard, I still havent figured out all the settings on these new DSLR cameras. A buddy of mine messed with it and its never been the same I feel like. Next Im planning on doing a Zev magwell, KKM threaded barrel, And either the carver or Zev comp then It'll be finished. I know is a 19 and all but I shoot very well with it, and cant afford a 34. I was shooting next to a guy with a 2011 open gun with a sideways C-more, and was way more accurate than he was. Even at 25yrds using my junk plinking reloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hysupra Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Ya thats what I was thinking but then I thought why would some idiot just spend a bunch of money on an open gun without practicing first. Yes I know their are huge idiots out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hysupra Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Heres a target I shot a long time ago when it was just polished, 3.5lbs connector, Zev spring kit. Target was at 20yrds and I was 21 with my first pistol. Sorry never really need to take pics of recent targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven420 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 You'd be surprised at how many people dump huge amounts of cash into guns they can't shoot for shit. Last time I was at Alpine Range here in Texas the guy next to me was running a huge nickel plated 44 Magnum, 8 inch barrel, scope, standing at 50ft he couldn't hit the 14" of paper the 10" ring was printed on. I was laughing so hard I had to leave... Who cares what gun you run as long as you shoot it well. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick88 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Keep us updated, I thought about doing this but there was no way my hand would fit that short grip with a magwell on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedemon45 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 It's a cool build but you are going to run into some issues when you shoot matches. The dot is going to put you in open class and to be competitive you will want to shoot major power factor. In order to do that you will need the KKM and comp. In the meantime though you could throw the rear sight back on and get some great practice in L-10 or Limited minor before jumping into open class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom C Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Nice work on that Glock 19. As to your Picts...The cameras menu should have a rest option that brings all settings back to factory settings (which is how you most likely bought it). As to background, a solid color bedsheet (towels have too much texture for my tastes) gives good contrast and if you can, add some indirect lighting. $5.00 says you can find other photography hints using google, or bing. I shoot the Gock 19 in production. Love the firearm. Thinks it's the best 9mm, pound for pound, Gaston Glock ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hysupra Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thanks for all the compliments guys. Ill work on updating the pics tomorrow. Ill be getting a little wild tonight for the VCU game. I was a little worried that I couldnt make major with the short G19 barrel. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedemon45 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I was a little worried that I couldnt make major with the short G19 barrel. What do you guys think? You should be fine with barrel length. Run somewhere around 7.0-7.3 gr autocomp and a 124-125 jacketed bullet at 1.14 OAL and you'll make it.

hysupra Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thanks Speedemon, Im saving up now for the comp and barrel package. There are a lot of comps on the market right now. Do most of them perform about the same? Is there that big of a difference in 5 port comp to an 11 port? I feel like 11 is a little over board.

Sarge Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'm not sure I would recommend running a steady diet of +p+ loads through a stock g19 barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedemon45 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'm not sure I would recommend running a steady diet of +p+ loads through a stock g19 barrel He's not going to untill he gets the KKM barrel. It was discussed a few posts up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hmmm... just read the whole thread again. I can see where various options were mentioned but I don't see where the OP knows to not run a load mentioned on here in a stock barrel. Sounds like you guys have it all worked out.

You are correct in saying he did not specifically state he would not run +p+ loads through a factory barrel but, If you re-read the quote I posted with my comments it is clear a KKM threaded barrel is in the future for this Glock 19.

hysupra Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks guys, I didn't have to explain myself again. I personally would never run +p+ in my stock barrel even for home defense. How many shots are you guys getting out of ur KKMs before replacing them? Thanks again to everyone for the imput. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hysupra Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Ok great. I know with some precision rifles they will change SS barrels after 3-4k rounds. Just making sure it wasn't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
