Hi. Thanks much for the info. One of my friends is pretty handy with gun-smithing, and maybe we can do some of these things to my Glock 17 (which I’m using ‘til I get the 34) as well as his own Glock. I printed it out, and he’ll be eating with us tomorrow night and I’ll give it to him and see what we can come up with. Sounds like a lot of fun to learn some of this stuff.
I’m still not completely sure where I went wrong with the question. My intention was NOT to gripe about a wait for a gun. I waited 19 months for my pride and joy, a custom built-from-the-ground-up Ruger Blackhawk, and have been in long gunsmith lines before with Pythons, Colt SAA’s from Cylinder and Slide, and rifle work from Turnbull and others including smiths for Benchrest rifles, etc, and they were all worth the wait.. So it’s no surprise to me to have a long wait to have a gun worked on.
I’m a little bumfuzzled, though. I read over my post again, and don’t see where I was being discourteous to anyone, nor was being discourteous my intent. Two shooters had eaten at my restaurant a few hours before, and we were simply talking about having custom work done to our pistols. They knew I’d been waiting a while, and we simply wanted to know the general time requirements for the various things you can have done to the Glock. My deepest apologies to whoever the question as stated offended anyone.
However, after being advised that my post was discourteous, both the threads were locked so I couldn’t respond. So here is my apology if it is warranted (if anyone sees it). If I do venture any posts in the future I’ll keep them out of the gunsmith arena.
Thanks again for your information, I appreciate it a lot.
