Tim/GA Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Figure, right after I buy the barrel! On the plus side I did get a chance to put my cut down 35 block on and shoot it Sat. Only had a chance to shoot about 125 rounds. Felt really good with major 40 ammo and did not move with minor 40 ammo. Not sure if it really s recoiling less or it is just the front sight not cycling but seemed to stay on target a lot better than regular slide. Unfortunately with my complete tear of my ACL I won't be able to shoot it in competition for awhile though. I do need to move the rear sight over a touch, hitting just left. Also think I am going to need a slightly taller front sight to bring the impact down a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtired Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) I played with my G22 Kurtz a little today and drilled out the guide rod hole a little to close the gap a touch. I ended up buying a Gen 3 G22 for this project because everyone needs another Glock. I recovered from my brainfart and realized I could take out the guide rod and get another rotation. Here is how that looks... Edited August 1, 2015 by dogtired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykiddjoe Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Not yet, but I did sit down and modify all the remaining 40-cal Sight Blocks to work with a Gen 4-to-Gen 3 recoil spring conversion. I'd set them up originally for the Gen. 3, not realizing that the Gen. 4's larger-diameter spring moves the recoil guide rod down slightly. Next version I'll be looking for ways to run a stock Gen. 4. Do you have any idea at this point how much tweaking it would need to run correctly on an un-modified Gen 4? I just ordered my barrel and a full zev ult kit, have a Glock 22 Gen 4, will likely order the block in the next week or so.... Trying to decide which magwell.

dogtired Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The gen4 needs a bigger guide rod hole, Robin has drilled out the ones he sells for the Gen4 per an earlier post. The only problem I had was the guide rod bottoming out with the shortened version, a trip to the drill press cured that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem I had was the guide rod bottoming out with the shortened version, a trip to the drill press cured that. The earlier post I read as he had drilled them to work with a Gen 4 Gun with a Gen 3 Recoil System, and in the quoted post Robin stated that his next version should work with a "Stock Gen 4". That's the way I read it, I could be wrong and that is why I posted, so that if anyone else wanted to know instead of him just getting multiple PM's.

dogtired Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 It should not require tweaking. My experience was with a shortened version on a G22. Not what Robin advertises the block for. Just reporting on my experience. I shot it today and I like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanfanoglio Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 First comp, first stage, with the G35 with block. did you have to change the sight height from 35 slide to the 35+sight block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugerp89ipsc Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 We want the 9mm version!!!!! seriously, I should upload a pic of my G17 Gen 4 tricked out and ready to go... w/ a G17L threaded barrel.... It looks ridiculous right now. SOO close to having a bad ass Glock Sight Tracker steel challenge gun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 It will look well dressed with a sight block screwed on that barrel and so will mine. Right now mine has a tuxedo with no bowtie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Taylor Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hey Folks, I won another steel match shooting the 9mm prototype this weekend. (The Pac NW Steel Championship.) Don't be impressed, the PACNW is a small regional match -- I mention it because the "system" ran beautifully. No malfunctions for roughly the last 500 rounds, and I managed to stay ahead of similarly-skilled shooters (notably Richard Morgan, who drove a conventional Glock 34). Load is a 135-grain MT Gold RN, driven by 4.2 grains of 231, loaded long. Sight block is radically lightened, and topped with a Hi-Viz green fiber. Recoil spring has the Dale Rhea (of Rhea Guns fame) trick done to it. (Put your stock recoil spring in an electric drill, like it was a drill bit, then -- with the drill running, use a bench grinder or belt sander to grind down the sides -- putting a wide "wasp waist" into the spring. Narrowing the middle of the spring creates a progressive-weight recoil spring -- easy unlocking, rapid closing.) Attached photo shows the system in action (taken earlier).
