Does anyone know where I can find an extended saety for the GP6?

Hmm, that's strange. I've had mine for over a year and havn't had any major problems with it at all other than the one time I switched gun oils for a day. Since then it's been smooth sailing. Glad you got it all worked out though!

Awesome! I'll take a look, thanks!

Do you guys know where a good place to find the extended mag-release button is?

As much as I hate the DA first shot I'm in love too much with the SA trigger to go mess with anything. If you do find an option to ease up the DA let me know though!

Awesome! Thanks guys! I figured it was probably ok especially since I'm not shooting "hot" 9mm loads, but better safe than sorry. Thanks again!

Hey all, Just curious, has anyone had any problems or any luck with specific gun oils? Personally I've had some issues with gun butter, but maybe I get lazy with the application...

Thanks for the input!

Frankly it sounds a little farfetched to me too, but I figured I'd better double check.

Hi all, I’ve heard a few rumors about Glocks not being able to shoot reloads. I’ve heard there’s a chance that if brass has been fired too many times that a weak point in the chamber can allow for the cartridge to blow out when attempting to fire. I tend to be fond of my hands, can anyone confirm or deny these rumors I’m hearing? Thanks!

There has been a fair amount of discussion on this gun and what is considered "fully decocked", which is the language used in the rule book. Up in WA all the ROs that I've talked to refuse to start me unless the hammer is fully down, even though the "half-cocked" position has been deemed the "safe-mode" for the gun. As for using your weak-hand thumb to stop the hammer from dropping, I personally don't feel confident that my thumb can drop the hammer all the way 100% of the time without slipping. I choose to hold the hammer between my weak-hand thumb and the first knuckle of my index finger. Then I ride the hammer all the way back to the fully dropped position before I release the trigger. On a side note make sure to pull the hammer back a little before engaging the trigger to avoid stripping the internal parts.

Yes, you do need to start DA in Production. But as for precautions, the only one I've found is, hold on to that hammer tight when you're lowering it... Also when making ready, make sure the gun is pointed at one of the berms incase of an AD. That way there's no chance of the bullet bouncing off the ground and leaving the range.

Awesome!!! Thanks for the advice!

I've had a GP6 for the last year, and if it shoots anything like the bigger model then I would highly recommend it! I love that it's ambi. everything, and the rotating barrel is pretty sick. However, if you're looking to shoot competition I don't believe the GP5 has a decocking mechanism so when shooting USPSA you'll have to drop the hammer manually before each stage.
