Yours truly managed to outshoot the competition in all the stockgun classes at Topton's GSSF match, earning a new personal best score and a new Glock! (It'll be Glock #18 in the stable). I attribute a set of really good sights and the mental focus to watch them. BE, you said it would work, and it did!!!!! Debbie

Quote: from Avalanche on 5:46 pm on Aug. 14, 2002 What if a person bought a 9mm KKM barrel and had G17 mags? Would this work to make the G22 a G17? Thanks The breechface is still cut for .40, and the extractor might not catch the case rim. Also, the ejector assembly needs changed out. D.

MP, My Frankenstein gun was made sortof like this. He is a G22 frame with a 17C top end. Your G17 frame can house a G22 slide assembly. Stock barrels are not interchangable without the corresponding slide, as the outside diameter is different. Besides, the breech would not be the proper caliber if you didn't replace the slide. You also need the trigger housing w/ejector. The only reason I did this for an open gun was because I had the guns already. I wouldn't consider it for a viable second gun, as the cost of the parts are nearly that (or more than) the whole G22. Deb

I have Grams on my G20 mags and it took two months of fiddling to get them to feed. The Grams on my husband's G22 only took slight mods to get to work. I bought Taylor Freelance +10s for Frankenstein and all four worked right off the bat. I have heard great things about Dawsons, too. My .02! Deb

GSSF matches are regional and held annually. See the schedule at gssfonline.com. Other shooting disciplines like IDPA and IPSC are based at shooting clubs which have a more regular schedule. Find clubs at uspsa.org and idpa.org. Glocks excel at all of the above! Go try them. Debbie

I had some experience with lead building up under the barrel hood, and it looked like it would eventually interfere with the lockup. Firing a few thousanths out of battery is not something I wanted to play with... Debbie

Ditto on the PortaTarget portable rack. I have no range where I can leave equipment, so it was a selling point that it breaks down into pieces that I can load and unload myself. I use a waterski tow-rope to pull the plates up. The mechanism works well, and the plates are adjustable if you are not on a perfectly level surface.

I didn't mention that the ammo for Frankenstein runs around 140pf... The weight of the comp can inhibit cycling of the slide, no matter how light you go on the recoil spring. And you don't want too light a recoil spring because of the out of battery potential. My un-scientific load selection was based on how much powder it took to get the gun to reliably cycle. I was just lucky enough that it shoots to point of aim out to 25 yards. I changed barrels to 9x19 without the comp to shoot the Opens. Never having shot Frank in an IPSC match, it was a hoot... I'll stick with my iron sights. I don't ever *lose* those. BTW, Frank's top end is from a 17C which was shelved due to lack of accuracy. (The frame is a G22, hence the name Frankenstein... His "head" doesn't match his "body", get it? Debbie Quote: from Carlos on 8:46 am on Feb. 28, 2002 Glocklady's gun is about right with a few more thoughts/ ideas: Steel Challenge and light-set falling steel is a 9x19 game; look over on the open gun forum & you'll see that some of the top guys are winning with bullets as light as 90 grains. It just has to ping (or fall) so 9x21 is out. <snip> (Edited by GlockLady at 11:53 am on Mar. 1, 2002) (Edited by GlockLady at 11:54 am on Mar. 1, 2002)

It's the LPT. I've not checked the engagement, but I did check the trigger safety and it was operable. I have the trigger out, waiting on my new G34 but if I get a chance this weekend I"ll put it in something and check further. Deb

I shoot my G26 in AmCiv in GSSF, and I use Novaks plain black sights. They're on my G20 IPSC gun, and I find them plenty accurate. I comfortably do 50-yd upper AB zone shots with the G20, and shoot in or near the top 10 in GSSF with the 26.

I posted on GT about my first look at the trigger: http://glocktalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55399 I didn't post here yet, because I wanted to give it some time to break in, and I view this forum as a more serious competitive forum. (Don't tell anybody on GT I said that!). Deb

Guys, One thing to keep in mind when going to 9x21 (if you're going to shoot major loads) is that you might want to drill your 9mm frame to add another pin to the trigger assembly aka the .40s. Or, do like I did and use a G22 receiver with a 17 top (hence the name Frankenstein -- his head doesn't match his body, get it?). Deb

No, not 16 G20s, 16 Glocks! Actually, add two more. The Gssf commemorative, and a 35 won at the GSSF Annual. Lets see, 17,17,17c,17L,19,20,20c,21,21,22,22,24,24C,26,29,35,36,36. The 20C and one 36 are for sale, $50 off Glockmeister's published price. Deb
