Just love on em. If your waiting to get something out of this relationship you will be frustrated. I share no blood with most of what I consider my "family".

I have a shot gun for dove but havnt really caught the three gun bug.

Wernt that many opportunities to shoot open like I though. The steel matches I went to I always felt if I pulled out the open gun I'd better throw down some nice times ( which I wouldn't) or be opened up to some nice ribbings from my friends. Have a nice 308. These are great ideas. Keep em comming.

I recently sold my open glock. Last time I sold a gun I ended up spending the money slowly on bills. Id like to buy another gun before I need the money. I have a Glock 34 and some ar's, 22's, suppressors ,dillon 650 ect. What are yalls favorite guns. Somthing that makes it with you every time you go out. Somthing fun. Was thinking about sbr and a 10.5" upper but I'm not crazy about it. Spend my money!

Nothing like a good father...

what kind of pistol is that in the 7th and 10th pic?

I have a ZevTech Full Fulcrum trigger kit and its nice but still a mushy "odd" trigger. Having come from a 2011 back ground, your never gonna get to where you were and i would through money at other issues.

i agree, one wiff of a lawyer and its time to put this issue to bed. Everyone knows a lawyer, though we may not admit it. If they don't treat you right, have him draft a letter full of fancy words and i bet you they change thier tune. After you give them the chance to do the right thing first.

Ohh don't worry I did my share of walking.

Ran for the first time in years last night. I was dying. Is it weird I was yawning and spitting constantly. Getting older sucks and I'm only 28.

When I was a kid I was walking in and out of my dads shop all day through a garage door. For some reason I had my skateboard with me that day in the shop and gave five hard pumps headed out of the shop down the driveway. Since I was wearing a ball hat I didn't know thAt me being 3 1/2 inches taller was going to be a problem. I smacked that garage door that was partially open that I had been clearing all day. Think cloths line meets hammering action. Two of my dads customers were out infront and had to walk behind there horses to laugh (he's a vet). Then everyone in the clinic came out to see the car wreck they thought they just heard. I had to do that pretend your not hurt and limp off to lick your wounds in private act.

That's awesome

Just curios about the round count on that gun? If you know.

FWIW Im on my 300th round of reloads with different brass without an issue. I never touched the press setup. i think the brass i started with must have been shot major or in a loose chamber or something and wasnt being resized all the way to the rim. TK

worked great Started a new thread to document my process. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=129159

I hope to document my experience so that others might be able to fix a similar problem. I bought the gen 4 glock 17 around thanks giving to further my IDPA shooting (less recoil, cheaper ammo) The moment I got the gun I noticed that racking the slide felt like it required the same effort as my glock 22. I have slight paralysis in my right arm so the ambi-mag release, and lighter action (cocking effort) really appealed to me. My first trip out of the box i had several FTE's. I figured that that that might be expected from a brand new pistol and to give it a while for break in. Around the 750 round mark my wife and aunt where shooting it and it essentially became a single shot. Frustrated I held it as limp as I safely could and sure enough FTEs. Is this the guns fault? ehh, not really but my wife has shot a lot and this isn't a problem she has had with any other gun. I also had 3 or 4 short stroke situations where the case was ejected but there was an empty bbl. I also had the slide not lock back on the last round 5 or 6 times. I got on-line to do a little research and low and behold there was a "Fix" by glock where they changed the recoil spring and said to shoot full power ammo. Another fix was to leave it mag locked to fatigue the spring a little (HA). I bought this gun to shoot cheap dirty ammo and expected it to run like my G22 that has never missed a beat. So I called Glock and they promptly sent me a spring marked 02. I shot about 250 rounds without issue. Fast forward to a fairly recent IDPA stage where your at a card game and shoot the first 5 shots from one handed retention... Single shot Glock. Racking the slide is not easy for me, nor does it conjure confidence in a RO to see me awkwardly paw at the slide. flustered I asked the RO to DNF me and went to the safe zone to see if there was anything wrong with my gun. Everything seemed fine. So here I was with aprox 1200 rounds though my gun and about 30 failures (not counting my wifes). Was the mag release really worth the reliability? I called Glock hoping that they would have come out with an even lighter spring. He said there was no such fix and to send the gun in and in 6-8 weeks they would call me back. sounds good right? Note; I have also heard that the extractor could be part of the problem. Then I got a Jager Captive steel rod, with a 13# spring installed. From the moment I put it in the gun I could tell a difference In the amount of effort it took to cock the gun. I was a little nervous to switch to a spring that light thinking the slide may not have enough spring to strip a round out of the mag and chamber it. I figured that I could always bump up to a 15# spring for a couple bucks more latter. Took it to the ranch this weekend and put about 230 rounds through it. %100 I am so excited that this gun is running now. the last two mags all I did was try and limp wrist it and I couldn't make it fail. I really do think this gun is over-sprung. From what I've read, with my internet grain of salt, the gen 4 17 and 22 started out with the same recoil spring (19#). The 02 marked spring was supposed to be 17#. My current spring is much closer to the gen 3 stock spring (15#) I will update this post as the round count increases. 230 rounds isn't a whole lot but its more than this gun has regularly gone. pics or it didn't happen, right? Top stock spring Middle "02" marked "fix" Bottom JAGER

Received a Jager Captive steel rod, with a 13# spring installed, in the mail today. I am very hopeful about this setup. After putting the rod/spring in my glock there was a noticeable difference in the feel of the action. With the original and the "02" recoil springs installed the cocking efforts felt identical to that necessary for my G22. I haven't been able to shoot it yet but it is Thursday pics and report by Sunday.

Can't wait to hear the story

I just put the threaded bbl this weekend to test the new can. It is lwd threaded bbl. The stock bbl is what I shoot idpa with and where the original malfunctions occurred. I think you might be on to something with the expander/powder drop. I ll reset and retest.

"Controlled pair"

I should clarify that these lock up's came from my first run of ammo.

As promised pictures of a Glock so locked up it takes a rubber malet to get the live round out. First normal Then

Hk glossy black.
