Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Thanks. Such a beast would be wonderful. I love my G19 RTF2. It's glued to my hand--especially strong or weak handed shooting.
  2. Can I use G34 upper with an RTF2 frame in USPSA production? I love the grippiness of RTF2 and the trigger reach of gen 3. Is this combo legal?
  3. At 2.5 # now with addition of striker and plunger polish, trigger return spring tab moved forward, 3 coils cut from striker spring.
  4. My previous post should state "was a little crisper" not "was alightly crisper." Darn iPad. Evidentally the forum software will not allow multiple post edits?
  5. Update: 5.5 connector was alightly crisper, but 3# 4oz. Tried a Scherer 3.5, and added an overtravel stop--very nice.
  6. Completed the mod successfully today on a few month old gen 3 G17. Pin located with a tap from a center punch to mark the spot and then pushed out with a fly tying bodkin, leaving just a needle hole. Pin moved .135 up the trigger, in a similar position to Joe D's image. Pin hole relocated .135 up the trigger bar. I didn't adjust the trigger return portion of the trigger bar. Hole drilled in seconds at 500 rpms. Trigger bar hole plugged with a section of 2mm CF rod. This trigger bar was from spares I purchased 1-2 years ago. Trigger pull dropped from 3# 3oz (Glock 3.5/4.5 with chopped factory spring) to 2# 10 oz. I notd a slight rub mark from the tab on the trigger bar inside the slide. This was relieved by grinding off a thousandth and polishing. Also noted that the trigger bar, at the forward S curve has barely notched the inside of the frame at its most forward travel. Drilling the hole closer than .135 would have minimized this, but required more material removal at the FPS safety tab of the trigger bar. Trigger bar/striker overlap appear unchanged. No need to trim the trigger pad safety. I noted a slight decrease in pre-travel. Over-travel and reset feel similar. 150 uneventful rounds followed at the range. This mod is a nice improvement. I'll probably swap in the 5.5 pound connector for crisper break at a now reasonable pull weight. I've always found the 3.5/4.5 mushy--at any weight. Thanks Joe D!
  7. FYI Front sight height at center of dot, 0.120". Rear sight heights (at bottom of V): 0.165", 0.185", 0.205", 0.225". 0.185" is 9mm, etc. standard. I may order a new 0.165 rear for my G17, decreasing POI 2.77" at 25yds. from my G17.
  8. A 15W soldering iron and meticulous prep. Any imperfections on the grip (panel lines, poorly blended checkering) will be visible in the finished product. That G19's grip texture was very rough--too rough for IWB. The next grip will look and feel more like a golf ball--not a piece of coral.
  9. Thanks for the info. ESP it is then. Here's my old G19--my first stipple job. The G17 grip will look similar, except that I'll be able to integrate the bottom of backstrap smoothly with the rear of the magazine, and there won't be a bump at the bottom of the frontstrap.
  10. I believe in practicing with what I carry. I plan on chopping my G17 to accept G19 mags for a variety of reasons (smaller size for CCW, grip reduction, G17/G19 mag compatability, G17 sight radius, velocity and pointability). As someone who is not familiar with IDPA, could someone please tell me which divisions I could participate in? I'm interested in competing against myself first and foremost. How about USPSA? Before I get out the sanding blocks and soldering iron, I want to make sure that I'm not preventing myself from participating. Thanks!
  11. I find it distracting to use a "center hold" sight picture up close and then have to transition to the tip of the dot past 15 yds. It could be me, but I find if I try the center hold at 25 yds, I'm a few inches high. Gun in question is a G17 with XS Big Dot plain sights. Theoretically, wouldn't the difference in POI actually be a few tenths of an inch (the radius of the dot)? Does XS make different height front sights, or is the difference in the rear sights? Anyone know the height difference? Thanks.
  12. A "tech guy" at one of the most secretive firearm companies had no knowledge of the 4th generation frame? Did you not see the NEW mag for the NEW frame above? He likely has NO knowledge and/or he's not going to spill the beans on the biggest Glock news in 8 years.
  13. No pics available yet, though I have heard reports that it looks very much like a 3rd gen frame.
  14. Stay tuned. Image from another forum.
