    cracked G34 slide

    in Glock

    Posted · Edited by 9x45

    I've busted 3 G17's in the same location. Weird, but true.. Glock always replaces them. All of them were running 4.4 grains of TiteGroup behind a 115 FMJ at 1.155" OAL and failed between 50K and 75K. Dave Sevigney told me it may be a little to warm. Changed to 4.0 grains, thinking about going to 3.2 grains....

    Primer and Powder Storage

    Storage of primers beyond 3 months can be highly hazardous and possibly void your homeowners insurance. As a public safety measure, think of the children!, you may ship all of your primers over 3 months old to me for proper disposal.... PM for address

    What would you have done?

    I would have stopped the shooter at the point where he had the malfunction and not waited until he put his gun down and it bounced off the table. Yes you can have extra mags on your person, but only for the purpose of loading the 'Barney round' at the start. Once the clock starts you may only use the 2 mags on your belt, even if you use the same mag twice (like shoot 4, retained mag change, shoot empty, then back to the partial mag, but not load loose rounds (in an auto). Of course in this case the COF specifies only 6 in each mag, so it's mute. However, I would have given the guy a re-shoot since it's not a State, Regional or Nationals.

    Shooting re-loads in a factory Glock barrel

    I shot a G21 with a BarSto barrel and plain lead 230's to around 120,000 rounds without problems. Then I switched to G17's and have around 50,000 each in two of them running jacketed 115's on top of 4.0 grains of TiteGroup at an OAL of 1.150 with no problems in factory barrels. I would not shoot lead out of a factory barrel.

    Try the Yankee Hill Machine mount from Brownells. It puts the end of the Trijicon allmost 4" forward of the charging handle. You can go about .5" beyond that if you want the mount all the way forward on the rail and the scope at the forward ring. It's at least 1.5" forward of your picture. Just checked their website and they now offer a 6" forward mount. I have the older 5".

    Heinie front sight won't tighten in G22 slide

    in Glock

    Posted

    I've installed several sets of Heines on Glocks, and a few Dawsons. Sometimes the new front sight is slightly loose, side to side, in the slot and sometimes the screw won't bottom out. The side to side fix I use is to install with Permatex # 2, instead of a threadlocker, then 'align' the front using a slot tool I made to manually adjust it parallel to the slide. The 'tighten' fix is allways to run a bottom tap into the sight, and if that does not clear it, then file the post shorter. You need at least 2.5 turns after that with a thread locker. It seems there is enough varience in the sights and slide slot to create some differences.
