    Glock 17 FTF Issue

    The cartridge is actually cocked slightly sideways, to the left. The nose is hung up on the left edge of the chamber mouth.
  2. P80? Sounds like the initials for polymer 80, the 80% grip frame more recently sold for those who want to complete the build, add a slide and enjoy a pistol without a serial number. Just like a ghost AR lower.....

    Glock 17 FTF Issue

    Was shooting a Gen 3 G35 first as limited and later as an open gun with Carver Custom frame mounted DPP, threaded Double Diamond barrel with two slot compensator, tungsten guide rod with uncaptured factory recoil spring (17#) and a brass back strap secured magwell. Used local range reloads for several years without a problem. No data on the reloads. Shot the gun competitively for a good three years without a problem including almost two years with the reloads. I do not reload. Last year began having a similar problem with failures to feed, 2, 3 or 4 times a 250 round match. Set the gun aside after changing to lower recoil springs did not solve the problem. Photo included. Have decided the range reloads that served me well for years need to be replaced since they are unknown factor/quality and I don’t have access to a chronograph. I was seduced by the price and nickel plated LAPD range brass. I have the following factory ammunition in storage: Armscor 180 gr, 953 FPS with predicted PF 171.5 American Eagle 165 gr, 1130 FPS with predicted PF 186 Federal Range 180 gr, 985 FPS with predicted PF 177 Federal Syntech 180 gr, 1010 FPS with predicted PF 182 What recoil spring should I start with, what should I look for other than the absence of the malfunction?
  4. I am currently looking at the Agency Optic System or AOS for my G19. Thinking about getting a G19 Gen 3 slide milled by them while retaining pristine the OEM slide with matching numbers. There must be someone out there who has already gone the AOS cut route who could comment. http://www.agencyarms.com/optic-cuts
  5. I have never changed a liner, but would the brass one go in and out more easily?
  6. Thank you. That was very helpful. My background was rifle with scope at 100 yards, typically with only dominant eye open. Since I took up USPSA with pistol and now PCC I have tried to sue both eyes open, but often find myself reverting to dominant eye only. It is hard to develop new habits.

    Red dot for G17

    It’s an acquired taste!

    Red dot for G17

    Or Or you can take a totally different approach, like my night match and home defense Gen 3 G17. This is an old photo. It now also sports a matching rely ALG Defense magwell.
  9. This new LCI trend (Sig P320 X Five Legion and now Zev) appears to be an attempt to meet a requirement of certain restrictive states without adding moving parts
  10. That’s all part of the post that I copied and saved. No promises, just the information from a fellow shooter.
  11. Elsewhere in a huge Ruger PCC thread on RugerForum I read that extraction can be compromised when the takedown adjust is a little too loose. Read the whole thread and copy pasted out of it a few tidbits, of which this was one: Failure to Eject: You probably have already done this, but make sure the barrel nut is snugged down tight. Keep two screws that attach bolt to stock torqued to 65 inch pounds. Volquartsen making new extractor.
  12. Got a Streamlight flashlight with a tape switch that mounts on a 3” segment of M-LOK rail. Installed the light on the right side (3 o’clock) and put the tape switch on the top (12 o’clock) so I could activate it with my left thumb while holding the carbine. Went to the range to zero my MRO and got it just about dialed in when the section of rail with the tape switch rail came loose. Removed it and the flashlight, then shot again and was way off from the almost zero. Checked that the MRO was not loose. Went to put the section of the rail back in place and realized the M-LOK screws hit and slightly depressed the barrel. The barrel is not centered in the handguard. The rail segment is from Bravo Company. It appears the design of the PC9 doesn’t allow actual use of the top set of M-LOK slots.
  13. Do you think there is friction between the rod and the bushing that slows down the slide? Could the springs be binding on the thick rod?
  14. Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful response. It appeared from your examples that the work to move the trigger bar, depress the firing pin safety was pretty similar between the triggers, so that anything that reduced pull in your examples simply decreased the slope of the wall, making it less wall-like, and therefore, perhaps more mushy, the more the total pull was reduced. Have you looked at the impact of changing the firing pin plunger spring weight? Those springs are pretty inexpensive....
