hope to have it on the site today(?) shipping next week
Nice, I haven’t been to your site in a while, you’ve added a few goodies for the Ruger PCC. Looks like I’ll ne spending some money soon.
Thanks!

I’d go minor, but just because I’m geared up for 9mm as I’ve shot Production for quite a while and am now switching to CO due to poor eyesight. I enjoy shooting 9 over 45.
-
I've been looking for a while now, and nobody has any in stock.
If anyone sees them in stock anywhere please let me know.
Also looking for a slim frame kit for my G43X.
Thanks.

Every time I've tried the combo gun idea, and I've tried it several times, I've always hated it and ended up buying two guns
For me that ends up being 4 guns because you need a backup for each one...

I don’t think you will get the Glock conversion to be reliable enough to achieve your goal.
I’ve never gotten them to run reliable enough to consider them viable, but your mileage may vary.
good luck. -

Thanks! I can’t believe I didn’t try that.

Ok, after 20 minutes of wrestling with it I finally got it in, but the whole point of an uncaptured guide rod is to make it "easy" to change springs. There has to be an easy way to install an uncaptured guide rod and recoil spring on a gen 5 glock 17.
I use the extended uncaptured rods on my G34 with no problems because the rod is longer. But the 17 is a real bitch. Or should I forget about uncaptured and just go with the Jager captured rod and make life easier???
Thanks,
Cuz

Just a little opersavation. Large pistol primers have been more available .Than small pistol primers.
And that alone may be an excellent reason to shoot more .45 over the next year or so. -
There’s nothing wrong with a 45, for a while that was just about all I shot in a 1911 and Revo. When I finally went and bought a 9mm Glock 34, I estimate that by shooting 9mm for the next 2 years I saved enough money in bullets to pay for the gun. At least that’s how I justified the purchase at the time.

Yea I fear that is the case here, my only option would be to pay $100 for a frame replacement through glock.
johnny said he has been seeing anomalies like never before since they are so behind on manufacturing.
Good luck. You could spend $100 for a new frame and get one just like the one you have. It’s a crap shoot.
it’s a catch-22 in the sense that it’s the amount of “slop” in the Glocks that makes them reliable in rough conditions or when dirty. But now it’s working against you.
-
This is a bummer. I have heard from more than one source that there is an amount of variance in Glock frames because the molds are not all identical. They are close, and within Glocks tolerances, but not identical.
If that is the case, you may be out of luck in this specific situation. Glock won’t care because the Stock OEM parts work fine, and The JG parts work in multiple frames but not this specific one. One possibility is if you shipped the frame and parts to JG and let him work his magic. If he’s willing to do that.
-
It sounds like one thing you haven’t tried is to put in all factory stock Glock parts to bring it back to its original condition and see if it works or not.
if that does work, you can start replacing a part at a time until it stops working. That “may” identify the problem. Sometimes it’s a combination of parts, so you may want to repeat the above process but swap parts in a different order to determine what is happening.

For all you TX22 Competition fans, looks like now Taurus has a new model out that's "Steel Challenge Ready":
I have an original TX22 with regular sights that is a great range gun. I think I'll pickup one of the Competition models to play with. Not sure how competitive it will be against the bigger dogs in the game, but it will make a fun range gun and is more in line with my Glock Carry Optics pistol which I tend to favor.
-
What, nobody is running a Taurus TX22 Competition model???
Op did say best bang for the buck.

So with guns, gun parts and magazine being so low in stock at a lot of places, my question is, is it legal to use 16-17 magazines with only 10 rounds loaded into them for production division. I'm having problems finding 10-round magazines, at a reasonable price. Thanks!
Absolutely, the rule is that no magazine can have more than 10 rounds in it at the sound of the start buzzer. -

I'm waiting till I need more stuff from Dawson to try the ones they sell but in the meantime I did the broom bristles and it actually looks awesome. You just have to peel the bristle like string chease until it's the right size.
I need 1.5mm fiber, er, I mean broom bristles… -
This is exactly what I was looking for. A way to plug the holes on my rear fiber optic sight to make it all black. Now I just gotta find out what diameter fiber I need for the LakeLine TX22 fixed sights.

This is generating more interesting content than I anticipated
lol, yeah, but did you get the answer you were looking for?Reliable feeding in your gun, reasonable velocity, and hitting the target are much more important factors than bullet profile.
I “think” everyone will agree to that.

A better arrow always helps.
Ah, but it’s in the defining of what makes an arrow better that there seems to be some disagreement.
I believe a Glock is a better gun for me than a 1911 because it fits my hand better and is easier for me to shoot.
This game could go on for a while. And, the better arrow discussion should relate more to the other discussion about which bullet profile is better for knockdown steel. What we are really talking about here are the Bows used to launch the arrows…

The problem usually occurs when using a cast 9mm round nose projectile at minor factor. These seem to disintegrate before passing on their full knock down force.
The same weight bullet with a flat nose has always taken down poppers with more authority than the round nose.
The calibration procedure usually uses military style jacketed round nose bullets which obviously do not disintegrate in the same manner.
Jim,
I am definitely NOT calling you a liar, because I have not done any testing to confirm or deny what you are saying, but it just doesn’t make sense to me how this can be the case in reality. Maybe in a laboratory, and in a vacuum or something. But not on a range, with actual steel targets.
The only time I can envision bullet profile making a difference is in extreme edge hits where less than half the bullet head impacts the steel. Then a RN profile could glance off the edge and not impart enough of its force on the steel, but a full wadcutter would impart more force on the steel.
But, I wonder if the feeding reliability you may give up by shooting wadcutters would be worth it.
This is just my uninformed/unconfirmed/untested opinion.

A Polymer 80 so it wouldn’t fit most of these guys I am sure. Also, without a CNC that could cut tungsten I don’t know how you could mass produce these. Takes too long the way I did it to be profitable.
You know, now that I think about it, I’m totally OK with it along you a long time and not making any profit on mine. If fact, to help reduce your profit, I’ll even let you cover shipping. Shoot me a PM when it’s ready please.

I’ll take one for a Gen5…

I find I am very competitive with my Glock. The secret has nothing to do with more practice. I just found a bunch of old geezers who can’t shoot worth a damn and started hanging out with them…
-
Like the title says, I'm looking for a couple of Apex Action Enhancement kits for a Gen5 17 and a Slim Frame G43X. I am looking for them with the trigger bars. I can't find anyplace that currently has the in stock.
Thanks,
Cuz.
P365 Wilson Grip Module- bigger than factory?

I ordered the XL frame module for my 365, won't be here until next week, but I'm looking forward to the extra length.
