[Plated Bullets in a Glock 22]

Just looking for pros and cons.  I know I'm not supposed to use straight lead bullets, but how about the plated bullets?  Like the Rainiers or the west coast bullets.  Or should I just stick with the jacketed bullets?

Any and all info would be much appreciated.

Thanks

[10$ reward - Gun Won't stop doubling, HELP!!!!!]

I had the same problem with a ss colt.  I had purchsed the gun used and the previous owner had put oversized hammer and sear pins in the gun.  The hammer pin hole was not reamed straight.  The sear would only contact the hammer hooks on the left side.  The right side was totally untouched.  The only way I could get it to stop doubling at first was to increase the sear and hammer hook engagement which yielded about a 7 pound trigger, which didn't quite float my boat.  I used some sight black on the sear reassembled the gun dry fired it 5 or 6 times thats when I noticed that only one side of the sear was making contact.  I ended up stoning the sear until I had 100 percent contact on both sides.  I then recut my release angles on the sear and joila it worked fine.  At this time I added a tri glide sear spring.   After about 200 rnds it started doing it again.  I though oh no its doing it again.  This time the sear was still making full contact.  The trigger bow was binding  in the channel and was not fully reseting as I released the trigger.  The hammer half cock was also rubbing on the sear as the hammer would fall.  I let the overtravel on the trigger out until the hammer no longer rubbed.  Trigger would still not reset fully.  Ended up changing to the STI lightweight titanium bow trigger and chucked the stock steel trigger again problem was fixed.  What was really interesting was between my stock sear spring and trigger I had a trigger pull right around 3 pounds.  When I replaced the trigger and sear spring with the tri glide parts the trigger pull automatically dropped to 1 and a half pounds.  Between the changes I did not modify the sear or hammer hook engagement at all.  Even at 1 and a half pounds the trigger is still very positive.  I increased the take up a little and can feel a distinct break when I press the trigger.  2500 rounds later no more doubling.

Hope you fix yours good luck and be safe......  

[Cominolli Trigger?]

Just wondering if someone could give the actual measurements on the second hole in the trigger/ placement of the hole in relation to the old hole?

Thanks

[.40 load data for major pf]

Thanks Patrick, I have an unlimited supply of once fired .40 brass.  The brass has been shot out of berettas not glocks.  I load them once and then dump them.  I think I saw your load was 4.7 grains with a 180 col 1.135, using bullseye of course.  I saw on the hodgdon website that the max load is 5.5 grains for a 180grn jacketed bullet.  I will start with your 4.7 and work up.  

THanks

Should I go to a lighter bullet?  If so would I still be able to make the major pf with something lighter?  Or should I choose  a different powder to start with?  Thanks for the quick reply Patrick.

[.40 load data for major pf]

I've just finished browsing all 13 pages of this forum.  Man there is a lot of info here.  Patrick I saw some misc. data that you posted using a 180grn bullet and bullseye.  I am currently loading for my .45 and have lots of bullseye on hand.  It would be great to be able to use it in my .40 also.  On hand I also have ww231, WSF, WST, Blue Dot, International Clays and Unique.  By far I have a lot of bullseye, Unique and International clays.  I would like to load either a 165 grn or 180 grain to make major pf.  Which of these should I try and in what combination?  Just looking for starting data and I'll work up.  I am currently shooting a glock 22 with the stock barrel.  I will only be shooting jacketed bullets loaded as close saami spec length as my magazine will allow.  My stock barrel has quite a long throat in it one that far exceeds my magazine length.  Any and all info would be much appreciated.  Anyone with any data using the bullseye would be much appreciated as well.

Thanks
