    NON-CAPTIVE TUNGSTEN GUIDE-ROD FOR G-17

    in Glock

    Posted

    Can anyone tell me which is the heaviest non-captive tungsten guide-rod available in the after-market & where to get it?

    you can get one at either custom glock racing or top glock.

    It also occur to me that the tungsten guide-rods available in the market now will only work with ISMI wound recoil spring.

    I am looking for tungsten a guide-rod that can use ISMI as well as Wolff springs.

    the tungsten guide rod sold at the stores above will work w/ both wolff and ismi springs. if you are using wolff just make sure the closed up end goes in first.

    Also anyone has any experience with the Ghost 5lb tactical connector?

    are you shooting ipsc? the oem 3.5lb connector will give you a 5lb pull depending on where you position the trigger pull scale thereby making you legal in ipsc production.

    sandormen,

    1911 has 3 safeties. safety grip, firing pin block and external lever safety. their drivers deactivate 2 safeties to go faster and it fine by you.

    glock also has 3 safeties. their drivers also deactivate 2 to go faster and its NOT fine by you.

    and you're not biased?

    I'd report You to Rangemaster, if I knew that.

    Emotional bias. A person will be usually inclined to believe something that has a positive emotional effect, that gives a pleasant feeling, even if there is evidence to the contrary, to be reluctant to accept hard facts that are unpleasant and gives mental suffering. Those factors can be either individual and self-centered, or linked to interpersonal relationship or to group influence. The effects of emotional biases. Its effects can be similar to those of a cognitive bias, it can even be considered as a subcategory of such biases. The specificity is that the cause lies in one's desires or fears, which divert the attention of the person, more than in one's reasoning. Neuroscience experiments have shown how emotions and cognition, which are present in different areas of the human brain, interfere between each other in the decision making process, resulting often on a primacy of emotions over reasoning .

    CCF Raceframe extract problem

    i think that is caused by a basic design flaw in the ccf frame. it is called short stroking. it is the same reason why you cant use metal guide rods and the buffers dont last long. send your guns to john nagel of s&j customs. he knows his glocks very well.

    thank you very much for your answers. at first i thought it was just pure "discrimination".

    It is not legal under IPSC Production division rules to remove a Glock striker safety. Why? Because there has NEVER been a Glock sent from either the US or Austrian factory that had that safety removed. Therefore, it must remain in the gun to be legal.

    removing it would lower the trigger pull below the minimum 5lbs. therefore reclassifying the shooter to open class. why would i want to do that?

    Sure!

    The point you're missing is: differences in pistol design are less germane to any unhappy reaction than having a new shooter profess proudly to having dug around in his Glock and disabled a safety mechanism. <shrug>

    what if it was an experienced shooter who did it?

    For example, compare an Edge with the grip safety pinned/disabled (very common) after the thumb safety is disengaged with a Glock with all safeties disabled. (Issue is dropping a loaded chambered pistol during the course of fire). The first is the norm, the second has many crying for their mothers.

    exactly my point. it is the same.

    i feel the fundamental question the poster has been asking is still not answered. this is the question.

    my question has to do with why is it acceptable by some shooters to shoot alongside guns without an FPB (such as some CZs and 1911) but if they find out that the shooter next to them has disengaged the same safety mechanism on a Glock they go through the roof

    would anyone care to answer?

    I believe the firing pin safety plunger holds the extractor in position. So, I don't thnk the gun would be very functional without it.

    HOLD IT! I was wrong in the above statement! Before hitting the 'add reply' button I tried it in one of my Glocks. The extrator stays put, and does, in fact, extract cartridges without the firing pin safety plunger in place. I haven't fired a gun in this condition, and I don't know how long the extractor would stay in place while actually shooting the gun. I don't think there is enough pressure supplied by the extractor plunger spring to keep it in the gun without the firing pin safety plunger. Only way to find out would be to try it.

    I'll let someone else do it, though. I don't really want to be searching the range on my hands and knees looking for my lost extractor!

    10k+ rounds and counting.

    I can't really see the purpose of removing it.

    pre-travel sir.
