Yeah the 225gr bullets solve the problem as well. I bought some from a guy but have no idea what brand or where they came from. Any recommendations on sourcing those?

could not get the swc's to work either, but found some 225 grain flat points that it liked very much
-
I would lengthen the OAL, to at least 1.125-1.135
Mic a factory 115 FMJ round 1.152

Academy had one on the shelf, $599, still not ready to jump

We have a couple in our LGS... I was able to fondle it for some time, but it makes me even less of a Glock fan. It felt very “plastic” but that probably because most Glocks we sell get sent to our back shop for stippling. It’s definitely one of those relics that can be appreciated for its age though.
Skateboard tape would stick nicely to a Gen 1 frame, so it seems.

My understanding is the Gen5 replaced the Gen4, that is why the Gen4 was discontinued. The Gen3 is still made for the California market as that was the last generation on the roster. The California market keeps the demand for the Gen3 in place.
Maybe, but a lot of new Gen 3's showing up in LGS , so Glock is pushing them out as more than just a Cali gun, I'm thankful.

What about Gen 4 and 5?
Not interested, there has to be a reason Glock Inc quit making Gen 4's. I'm not a fan of removable backstraps either. Glock should have stayed with the Gen 2 platform as far as I'm concerned.

Says it sold.

They're pretty cool. Some people just like the aesthetic and feel of the old Gen1's. "Retro" is IN, man....
Yes, I like that Gen 1 grip, but not enough to hand over $700. Gen 2's are my first choice, then Gen 3's

Saw one in a LGS today, for some reason they mark the slide with P80, but it was def a Glock product. Price was too steep for me to consider though at $699
Sorry if this has already been discussed.

I find my G22 with nice .40 minor loads from Atlanta Arms shoots even softer than my G34 with Winchester White Box ammo.
So much that I’m considering letting the G34 go...
yes, excellent point

See if you can find me a 9mm conversion barrel for my Glock 21
-
I have not put much confidence in Win white box ammo for years now. I know that doesn't remedy anything since that's what you use, but I would try some different ammo, Fiocchi 115, or 124's, CCI blazer brass 115's

Probably because it’s more financially beneficial to cut slight dimensional variations in their slides than to produce something too easily interchangeable. Most ‘normal’ shooters aren’t aware of aftermarket conversion barrels (much like the OP). Glock is far better off selling another gun for $500 with a build cost of $30-$40 than allow everyday gun owners to swap barrels.
Or engineering might have something to do with it?????

Just my experience 9mm slides are 100% reliable ,40 converted to 9 not so much .best I have gotten has been 90% .
Exactly , but for some ppl a 90% gun is acceptable.

That's a pretty good find, Scott.
Was it by any chance a Blue Label gun?
Negative, 2 magazines with it, but I like the finish, not that shiny frying pan coating, closer to that old flat black phosphate look.

And I did not realize that the 35 can easily be converted into a 9mm.
It can be, but if it was so reliable and fool proof, why would Glock inc even make 9mm slides? Why not save the money, and cut only 40 cal slides for both 9mm/40 cal. Something to think about.

Just picked up a new Gen 3 Glock 24, very happy to find one in a LGS considering the current environment

thanks for the info, I was wondering what the difference in gen 1 vs gen 2, that makes sense, and the tuning makes sense for mags with heavy use and dropping them. MBX seems to be the most popular without a doubt, do most use mags that lock the slide back or do they use comp mags? I have never liked mags that didnt lock the slide back but planned reloads it wouldnt make a lot of difference.
Gen 1 sti mags are some of the most durable mag tubes you can find. I had some I used for 8 years in uspsa matches, not one went out of spec.

First vid I ever bought on shooting was Ron's "Secrets of a professional shooter" . Was able to talk with him a couple of times at a match. Good man,........... rest in peace...Godspeed
