Glockman1000

What Tyro suggests. Did this on my .40 & 9mm.

Try the connector first before investing in more parts, but not a bad idea to keep a spare striker around.

I normally use 4.8 grns. of WW231 under a 124grn. JHP for steel shooting.

I don't know if you're willing to go this route but try a metal uncaptured guide rod. Maybe the plastic rod is getting gouged & stuck. Where the retaining pin for the guide rod is, does it look like the spring might be getting stuck there? You're not using a shock buff or anything like that are you?

Was it like this from the get go? Used or new 24?

Try giving him a call or emailing him. I don't think it would hurt, he is a nice gentlemen to deal with.

Are you able to pull the slide back a little, release it & chamber the next round or is it locked up completely where you have to fully clear it? If you can find those other mags, give them a shot.

How deep is the nick on the breechface? You mentioned G4, does this mean a G34 Gen 4 Glock with the dual recoil springs? Glock revised the design on that part. Had something to do with breakage & reliability issues in early Gen 4 models. You may want to contact Glock to see if your model needs the updated RSA. As mentioned earlier, a full detail strip & locking block inspection may be in order. I would also suggest checking you slide release & spring. If they somehow get out of place they could cause some problems. Hope you get it sorted out soon.

Where can I buy a Seattle slug? google Taylor Freelance. They also make great mag extensions.

Seconded.

Nicely done! Been toying with the idea of taking a Deltapoint & mounting it 90 degrees. It would be taller that way & would look a lot closer to a C-More size window.

California legislators are ramping up efforts to restrict gun ownership even more. If passed, possession of hollow point ammo will be considered a felony. http://www.sfgate.co...aws-4261890.php

LOL! Yes, been busy working & motivating my local shooting community to support their 2A rights in my off time.

The frame mount is very easy to install. However, it is required to mill down the ejection port to give the spent casings room to be ejected. I also installed a 40 cal ejector, so the spent casings would eject out the side rather than up. (9mm gun) Installing the 90 degree sight mount would have the benefit in that no slide work would be needed, and the sight would be lower. The down side to the 90 degree sight mount would be having to drill a hole in the frame. I thought all the frame mounts needed to be drilled into frame? Correct me here or enlighten me lol Not all frame mounts are drilled in to the frame. This one replaces the trigger pin like the SJC & Carver. Fits in my holster without modifying it.

Try it with factory ammo if you haven't already, if you are using reloads, then maybe a different load might help. Have some other people try the pistol & see if the same thing happens. Narrow it down to the pistol before you make any changes to it.

Not done yet. http://news.yahoo.com/york-newspaper-list-more-gun-permit-holders-uproar-120534293--finance.html

Armando Valdez used to compete with a completely stock G24 & is regarded to be one of the greats in Limited division, well at that time. I don't recall having seen the slides for sale new, but some companies were selling the top ends. If I remember correctly, at one time there was a Glock competition package that came with both 22 & 24 top ends & you could just swap top ends for competition, then when done, switch back to stock for carry or duty. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, it's been awhile.

The paper did & published a story on very negative comments directed toward them but defended that they had the right to publish the information. No retractions. http://www.lohud.com/article/20121225/NEWS02/121225002/The-Journal-News-LoHud-com-assailed-publishing-map-gun-permit-holders In fact they are not done. They are going ahead with additional information from Putnam county next, & maybe trying to get other places to to follow suit using the FOIA.

Look up Piers Morgan Petition......

Been following this since it started, every comment mentioned how irresponsible it was posting an interactive map with peoples information.

Sen. Feinstein video interview to reclassify all "military style" weapons in the same class as fully automatic, NFA type weapons. As stated still a work in progress, but hints at what they intend to accomplish. http://www.c-spanvid...rg/clip/4254274 Of note: Requires that no grandfathering will be allowed, rough transcript from CSPAN below. I suggest watching the clip to get the full commentary. 00:00:03 THE GENERAL BELIEF IS THAT THIS BILL WILL BE ON THE FLOOR NEXT WEEK WE COME BACK. 00:00:10 >> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE STATE OF THE ART AND WEAPONRY. 00:00:13 I DO NOT BELIEVE A CAUSE FOR ANY COMPENSATION OF WEAPONS ALREADY OUT THERE. 00:00:19 OTHER THAN STOPPING PEOPLE FROM BUYING NEW ONES, IF THERE IS ALREADY TOO MUCH ACCESS, WHAT WOULD THE FACT BE? 00:00:27 GOOD QUESTION AND I THANK YOU FOR IT. 00:00:30 WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS PLACING THESE WEAPONS UNDER THE FEDERAL FIREARMS ACT, THE SAME ACT THAT EXISTS FOR AUTOMATIC WEAPONS. 00:00:40 SINCE THERE ARE NOW DEVICES TO LEGALLY MAKE THEM AUTOMATIC, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS PRUDENT TO PLACE THEM UNDER THE FEDERAL FIREARMS ACT. 00:00:52 THIS WOULD REQUIRE THEY BE REGISTERED HAVE A BACKGROUND CHECK. 00:00:58 IT IS INCONCEIVABLE AFTER WHAT THE NRA SAID TODAY THEY DO NOT THINK PEOPLE WHO HAVE GUNS SHOULD HAVE BACKGROUND CHECKS OR THAT THEY SHOULD BE -- THEY SHOULD BE REGISTERED. 00:01:09 WE ARE LOOKING AT A BUYBACK PROGRAM. 00:01:12 AGAIN, THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. 00:01:16 THESE ARE IDEAS IN THE DEVELOPMENT. 00:01:19 DO YOU THINK PEOPLE WHO ALREADY OWN THEM WOULD HAVE TO REGISTER? 00:01:24 THEY WOULD HAVE TO REGISTER THEIR MILITARY ASSAULT STYLE WEAPONS. 00:01:29 IT WOULD BE PUT UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL FIREARMS ACT. 00:01:33 I AM SURE YOU CAN READ THE ACT AND SEE WHAT THAT

I would like to suggest the book "More Guns, Less Crime" 3rd Edition by John R. Lott, Jr. for it's lengthy study on firearm statistics & information and it's rational approach to justifying arms for personal defense. I believe this book is influential in the right to carry laws that have been adopted in certain states. I believe this would be a good resource for any gun owner or potential gun owner. Hopefully we can gather enough resource material for the moderators to consider a sticky post for all BE members.

My plinking load for .38 Special is a home cast Lee 150grn. RN 3.5grns. of W231 in a S&W Model 66.

The mag bodies are internally ribbed in the molding process, then the metal insert is put in place. The magazine spring kind of resembles that of a single stack magazine spring and function as such.
