    Kev,

    You can type Daniel at Daniel@DanielHorner.com and ask him. I've spoken to him several times over email regarding different shotgunning questions I had and he always typed back in a timely manner. He was super helpful and a real gentleman. As a result, he's now my favorite shotgunner out there. Good dude. Hope this helps.

    I just got a 24" vent rib barrel for my SLP Mk 1, It's a lot better balanced than the 22" cantilever scope mount bbl and it uses Invector Plus choke tubes.

    Wow gotm4!

    LOVE that SLP. I have a Winchester SX2 Practical I want to do the same thing to. Where did you get your 24" VR barrel, is it a 3" chamber, and will it fit my SX2?

    Also, is it any lighter than the stock barrel with the cantilever scope mount? Could you explain a little bit more about how it balances better than the stock set-up?

    Thanks!

    Ron,

    I've had that same problem with more than one G-17. If we're going the aftermarket barrel route, I'd have Bar-Sto fit one. The 6" G-21 .45 upper they built me years ago was a one hole gun at 15 yards -- about all I could reliably shoot at the time. My G-35 with a fit Bar-Sto barrel is way more accurate than either of my 34s, though I'm not the best group shooter.....

    Nik, did that upper include a full-length slide to fit the 6" barrel? If so, who was the slide made by?

    Thanks and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours,

    Chris

    G21 recoil spring weights

    Thanks for the info Pac. Your timing is perfect. I was wondering what the effect might be of swapping out the 17 lb recoil spring for the 15 lb one. I think that while the 15 lb might provide a little less muzzle rise, it sounds like it might also cause the gun to run a little less reliably.

    Thanks for running the test and for sharing the results with us.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours,

    Chris

    Shape of the Glock

    I guess I took his question wrong. I thought he meant why couldn't they make it look slimmer and sexy or give it some type of shape other than "block". Like Smith did with the M&P and other manufacturers have done with this action type.

    Maybe it's like women...some guys like 'em blocky, other guys like em with more shape and some guys just don't like any of them. ;)

    I totally understand what Duane is getting at Kev, but you're right, I was wondering why the shape of the Glock's slide was so block-like, and not a little more sexy like the M&P and XDm (while still being able to accomodate the external tilt barrel system as described by Duane).

    Reshaping the Glock grip

    I have a Gen2 G21 and am looking to take a little polymer off the "hump" area on the rear of the grip as well as some off both sides of the upper grip area (just under the rail area where the "thumb rests" are on the newer pistols) to make the grip a little thinner.

    Anyone out there have a resource to let me know how much polymer I have to work with in these areas without destroying the frame?

    Thanks and all the best,

    Chris

    First of all, let me say I LOVE my Glocks! And I understand how Glock decided on the geometry of its frames.

    But I've always wondered why they chose to make their slides wide and block-like and not a little more tapered like S/A has done with their XDm series.

    Anyone know what the method in Glock's madness is as it relates to this?

    What sort of smithing do you need done on your Glock?

    I recently purchased a Glock 21 after shooting 1911s for years. As most know, we fans of the 1911 have our favorite pistolsmiths when mods need to be done.

    I'm looking for some opinions as to who some of the respected Glocksmiths are so when the grip modification or aftermarket barrel installation bug bites, I'll be ready!

    Thanks to everyone for your input!

    Best wished for a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone here on BE's forums!

    G21 recoil spring weights

    in Glock

    Posted · Edited by Mifune326

    I have a G21 (Gen 2) and am looking to make the pistol shoot a little "flatter" (less muzzle flip). I use it primarily for self-defense. Is it OK to reduce the weight of the recoil spring without affecting reliability? I understand if I lower the recoil spring weight, I also have to reduce the striker spring weight.

    Will frame battering be an issue with a lighter recoil spring?

    If so, what recoil and striker spring weights would you folks recommend if Im shooting full power 230 gr ball and occasionally 230 gr +P Winchester Ranger SXT?

    All the best to everyone...
