I did the same as Duck, my reset is very close to the end of the forward travel.

Malfunction
in Glock
Well, if the gun has a lot of rounds through it... I'd say try replacing the recoil spring, and extractor spring.
Possibly look at the spring loaded bearing and see if it's smashed and maybe binding in the spring coils.
-
I wasn't shooting a match, thankfully.
Though I was showing off how great my home-made 30rnd mags worked, to a couple of the big shots at my club.
Me being a new shooter(only 8 or 9 matches), I'm sure this made a good impression as far as the workmanship of my guns/etc.
-
There seems to be a lot of intrest at my club... I've got a couple requests to build up open glocks this winter.
-
G18 mag and a special spring, a little machine work and you're set.
They also reload easier than mags with a super long fat basepad.
-
I get 29+1 easy in my mags without a modified follower. Shootin a glock though.
hard to beat at $27 per mag.
-
now I'm curious...
did you lose the height adjust bolt or something?
-
I think I might pick up one of his followers and check it out.
Raz, your cat icon is great. I've got a black sphynx with a furry face, and a red hairless sleeping on top of my monitors right now.
-
I sent it back to them, I'm curious to see what they say.
Obviously the lens isn't under any type of warranty, but given the low number of rounds it has on it... who knows.
I always figured I would drop it or something, so I always kept the pistol in a nice padded hard case. It figures it would break while I was shooting, not even anything drastic, just target practice.
-
Sorry guys, I've been down and out the last couple days. My c-more lens busted, so I sorta put my 170mm mag experiments on the side so I can practice more with iron sights(it's been awhile).
-
Way to go.
Maybe now people at my club will stop making fun of me for running an open glock.
-
I can easily get 29+1 in the 170mm mags I've built. With a modified follower and 171.5mm I would think 30+1 is definitely doable.
-
Sorry, it's a frame mount.
At the time I was just checking the zero, so I fired maybe 30 rounds that session.
-
I've got a C-more on a glock17 with an SJC mount that shattered today.
Maybe 1000 rounds through it.
I first noticed the front/rear lens of the c-more got some white powdery looking residue inside them. I thought it was maybe just residue or something, so I kept shooting. 150 rounds later the lens shatters, and it looks like the glass broke from the rear towards the front.
Does anyone have any experiences with anything like this?
there's a blast shield built in to the mount, and there's no abnormal(just a light dust) powder residue anywhere on the mount or sight.
I would hate to have the lens replaced only to have it happen again.
-
I ran some tests, lot of full drops on cement, kicked it around a bunch. I'm confident enough to run em at a match.
Pictures/updates after the Thursday match.
-
All I do is take off the basepad, cut some off, drill holes through the basepad/mag wall and tap the holes. I used 4-40 bolts, 5 of them holds pretty solid. Then just trim the back of the basepad to fit flush with the rear of the mag.
We'll see how it goes after a few drops on cement.
-
anyone tried this?
I tried one idea and at 170mm I get 29 rounds easily. I'm going to make up a really thin steel basepad at work and see if I can maybe get 30.
If nothing else, a 30 dollar 29round mag(20-22 for mag +5 for new spring) isn't bad. It sure beats 15-20 bucks for a mag +45 for a 170mm basepad.
-
I'm pretty sure aftermarket recoil springs are production legal... I know you can use an aftermarket guide rod, so one would assume you could use a different spring as well.
-
I just found out today there are 2 versions of the spring loaded bearing in 9mm glocks. One has a very thin head, the other has a thicker head, about 3/16" thick. I was having problems with extractor tension until I replaced it with the newest part.
it should look like this:

I would get one of the cheapie brass ones and dremel it down to fit your grip on the outside.

edited to add my HS-6 data from a glock
8.8gr makes a whopping 1500+fps out of a Glock 17 threaded KKM barrel with 2 blow holes, woo hah.
-
when my slide locks back on a full mag from all the crap in it... I bang it closed again and shoot for another week.
Then it's time for a bath.
-
speaking of classifiers...
is there a way to look up my classification by my USPSA number? Or look at my classifier scores?
-
el prez was at my second USPSA match, the first match had bang and clang, but it was so cold out I was having a hard time shooting.
I was shooting open.

I'm not sure how that is nationally, but I was very happy with how I did. It was the first stage I had to reload on, and doing it under pressure is a lot harder than practice. At the club I was 2nd out of 6, placing between 2 A-class shooters.
Glock Trigger Reset-do You Ride It?

I use a set screw over a pin, and then epoxy it in place once it is set correctly. Same effect though.
Started out using Wolff reduced power springs, but I've gone to stock springs with coils cut. I machine a lot of weight off my strikers, and do a couple other little tweaks. In the end I think it costs me less than 5 dollars, since I use 5# connectors for the nicer reset. All I use is a wolff trigger spring vs a stock.
