If you're in PI, there's a good smith in sn pablo laguna who makes a ball detent racker. The name of his shop is JGF. His name is Jovy Fule, he used to be an inhouse smith for smith & wesson before retiring back to PI. He's also an active shooter shooting in ppsa open div. i'll show u a sample of his work....aww sorry didin't saw ur present location in ur profile, i assumed ur in PI....

I bought mine brandnew too in 2004, shoot it a lot and used it as my carry piece , but i haven't seen any sign of wear or metal particles in d rails. And i only use cheap oil for lubrication mainly those used on sewing machines :-) so when i heard of talks on d range about galling, i stopped shooting it on a regular basis and instead used my G17 to shoot in prod div...

Thank you for d info.

I have a p1445 ltd in stainless steel which i shoot in local competions whenever i went home in the philippines. Often times i heard comments that stainless steel guns usually don't last,due to “galling". A process which i'ved learned is inherent to stainless steel when rubbing against each other. Had any stainless steel para user/s in here had any experience with this?

There are about a billion threads on this. Do a search. You should find lots of helpful info already posted.

I'm also planning on building myself an open glock using a g17/22 gen4 on my return to the philippines next summer. Can anyone tell me if all of the carver parts are available there? I'ved red in the internet that glockworx will soon be opening its doors in the PI but can't seem to find dealers of carver mounts, and drop-in threaded glock barrels and comps. Your help and info would be much appreciated.
