12glocks

Compelling information, that is accurate enough for me too.

I would guess something is broken or awry you have not noticed. I have broken 1 extractor, just a chip, on a heavy use gen 2 G17 I bought used and wore one out on a gen 3 G34 with maybe 30k down the barrel. On the 34 the gun would intermittently choke. In both cases when I changed the extractor it ran 100%. But I would look at both guns very carefully and look for something broken or awry when you detail strip. Good luck.

Somewhere on the internet is a test of aftermarket barrels using a ransom rest. I think the Gen 5 guns are more accurate. I don't have an opinion about Faxon barrels but I always bought higher up the food chain for my AR builds.

I want to recall that Lee's presses do not cam over. Do you have another press that will cam over? If you move your sizing die over to another press, I wonder if that will give you the other thousandth you are looking for. I have the Dillon power trimmer with an integral die that sizes the case. I have to cam over the press (650) to make the brass drop in the gauge. Dillon 223 dies are supposed to be like small base dies also.

I normally use PD 147 FMJ for my 9mm gamer loads. I loaded about 3600 Bayou coated bullets when things were hard to come by. I found I had to really flair the case a lot to get that Bayou seated without scraping the coating and other problems that prohibited the round from dropping in the gauge. I would check and make sure your resized case drops in a case gauge first. I bet it will. Then I would flair the case the bare minimum needed to put a bullet in it. I suspect this may fix your problem. I think there are essentially different die setups for coated and genuine copper-jacketed bullets. I have used Dillon and Lee sizing dies with no problems.

I am using Armalite tunable comps now and they shoot very flat. I think some type of tunable comp is where it's at.

TTI kit and polish job here also. I tried a Timney and the design is novel, but I have been shooting Glocks for too long to change up the trigger that much. I took it out.

I would pay the $200 if it were me. That's a cheap price for a slide.

If your going to buy I would go JP rifle with a Vortex Razor or Swaro optic. You could go 10x on the Razor and a 18" barrel on the rifle if you shoot in an area with extended ranges frequently. I personally think the 6x optic is fine for 3 gun.

Super Simple to DIY. It is all pretty much on youtube. A TTI kit for the appropriate gen is a good low cost starting point.

I have patterned Carlson, factory Benelli, Briley, or Pure Gold. The Pure Gold pattern tighter and when we tried buckshot, was the only brand to put more pellets on target than the other brands. Its a small company from SC that does some sponsorship in the carolinas (I don't know about other places) and Pure Gold is popular here. There spreader chokes also are efficacious. I have not patterned any other brand of spreader type choke. I highly recommend shooters pattern all there chokes at various distances for 3 gun. I disagree that light mod for 90% of shooting in 3 gun is an effective strategy. I change chokes a lot. If I was shooting distance like duck hunting, I would get Pure Gold. I have met guys that hunt deer with buck shot and dogs and they pattern every brand trying to find what works best for that mission, also turkey hunters that have patterned a lot of chokes. In summation, I guess my experience is most chokes are very close, with Pure Gold being a little better.

I like Dawson fiber optic front and rear,those rear dots give these aging eyes a elevation reference. I like the skinniest of the front sight choices as well. There are fixed and adjustable Dawson sights for glocks. I like the adjustable but only have fixed to choose from on the Gen 5 guns because the MOS pushed the rear sight dovetail rearward. Maybe Dawson has an adjustable sight for the Gen 5 guns now. I have not looked in a long time but I doubt it,

Stock is my vote. There is some informal testing on youtube with Ransom Rests and many after market barrels are less accurate. I have been a long time Glock guy and the Gen 5 gun are more accurate IMO.

I thought Hawkeye ordinance had a bunch of stoeger stuff but I don't see it today. Midwest gunworks is pretty good. I don't know if they ship internationally?
