Remove the baseplate, subfloorplate and spring. Then you can pull the follower out the top. It will require a bit of forcing (or perhaps more correctly, light pulling) but don't worry, it won't damage the follower.

I don't really do pork of any kind. WAY too much fat. "Lean pork" is an oxymoron. I put in way too much effort to burn fat off this body to just turn around and put it right back on.

And here I thought that was going to be a link to a great gyro.
-
This is common in single stack 9mm 1911s. I've never seen a cure for it. Just out of curiosity, why are you firing an EMP in USPSA? I understand the desire to fire your carry gun - I do the same thing, though my carry guns are considerably larger.
-
I'd still rather have the gyro.

Going from a stock firing pin spring to the Wolff "Competition" firing pin spring will take about a pound off your trigger pulls right there. After that, polishing will take only about another quarter pound off, in my experience, but what it will do is get rid of all the grit in the trigger action.
Personally I've recently gone back to the stock firing pin spring in all my Glocks. Had one misfire with my factory defense ammo - which happens to be loaded with Winchester primers, and a lightened firing pin spring. I still do run a factory Glock 4.5 pounde connector and my own polish job, though.

Have seen the 25 cent trigger job and was wondering would shooting over time not smooth out these parts just as well as polishing them?
No.

Question: What's the difference between "timing the gun" and "flinching"?
Answer: Probably about a hundredth of a second.

There's no "opinion" necessary. You must begin the stage (after LAMR but before "Stand by") with the magazine in the gun loaded either to its max capacity or division max capacity. On page 23 of the Rule Book, in the Custom Defensive Pistol section we find:
E. Be loaded to the division capacity of eight (8) rounds in the magazine plus one (1) round in the chamber. Should division capacity not be achievable because of lower magazine capacity, load should be to maximum mechanical capacity of magazine plus one (1) round in the chamber. Competitors must use the same capacity magazines through out the competition (Example: if you start with a 7 round magazine, you must use that capacity magazine throughout the match).If you want to carry seven rounds in your magazines, you need to be running 7-round mags. Though I must admit is would take a pretty hardcore SO to call you on it at a club match, it could certainly happen.

I have always thought that changing the RSA
on the G17 to the Gen-4 system was an ill-advised move on Glock's part. I understand the desire for product and parts commonality, but the bottom line is the G17 wasn't broken, no need to fix it. They just created a lot of unnecessary problems for themselves, and their customers, in an area where previously there were none.Thankfully we have the Jager guide rod system to deal with this issue.
-
Maybe this will fix the Gen 4 ejection issues.
The only Gen-4 G17 ejection issues of which I've ever heard had to do with the earlier recoil spring assembly. How does the ejector factor into this?
-
They told me about the new RSA trade-in that they have going on, but I already have the newest version.
"RSA"?

A good gyro is a thing of wonder. Very enjoyable. And it won't make your gun start acting up, either.

It's been a whopping seven days. Five days if you don't count the weekend. Four days if you take into account the fact it's currently 2:32 AM (PST, at least). Patience is a virtue.

More?

The last season is far and away the weakest. Still worth watching, though.

Just FYI, guys, "The Prodigal Revolver" will be published (finally!) in the very next issue of The Blue Press. That's not the issue that's showing up in people's mailboxes right now, but the one that will be showing up in people's mail boxes in October.

In my experience the rubber buffers actually give you more recoil, not less. This makes sense if you think about it. By taking up space inside the recoil spring tunnel, the rubber buffer doesn't allow the slide to come as far to the rear when cycling - you have in effect shortened the slide stroke. Therefore when the slide comes fully to the rear during cycling the back of the dust cover slams into the buffer really hard. Also, shortening the slide stroke can - and frequently does - cause other problems such as failures to feed and failures of the action to lock open when empty.
Don't increase your recoil spring weight either. Not will only will this give you more felt recoil and muzzle flip as the slide is coming to the rear, it will also make your slide slam forward harder during cycling, which can lead to serious muzzle dip, also the gun pounds itself harder as it goes back into battery, leading to less durability, not more.

I stand corrected.

Could you define "major grip reduction" and how it differs? There really is a serious limit on what you can do to a Glock grip. It's not like all the other folks doing grip reductions have been holding back all these years.

There are two pages to this, though the "Next Page" icon down at the bottom is not large or obvious.

I don't see how dropping the gun could be a problem with either technique. But I guess if you work hard enough you can accomplish anything.
What no Monster Hunter Alpha topic?

Reunion? I don't remember them having met before. What did I miss? Did they pit fight against each other? Is Owen the one who messed up Jason's eye?
