Dlsvt Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Has anyone built an open gun out of a g21? I have a open Glock 34 and was thinking of trying a 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty whiteboy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I get strange looks for shooting a 21 in Limited, can you imagine the looks you would get shooting one in Open? Stick with the capacity of the 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 It was not one of my better ideas. Best I could get with a Taylor Freelance was 18. Ejecting brass beat the Optima to death. Lightweight bullets was a relative term. Unless you are a masochist stick with the 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noximus03 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Def go with the 34, or if youre dead set on having a no doubt major round....a G22 would be a better bet. Hard to beat the rounds capacity you'll get running a 9, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND....I'm thinking about putting the upper on the 'for sale' block since my new upper just came in..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlsvt Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 How is the glock 40 for an open gun. No ejections problem? How reliable has it been for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noximus03 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Won't dance around it, but yeah, there's been a few issues with ejecktions. They have a tendency to hit my c-more mpunt and get stuck as the slide moves into battery. I'm thinking of shaving down the aluminum for more clearance since I've already shaved down the ejection port and will be installing an extended ejector this week as well.

Dlsvt Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 I started with a 35 and wanted to make it an open gun. I was warned about that. Didn't know if it were true or not. I hope you get it worked out. Have you ever talked to the guy at Sjc about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how this works as I am still getting about 1 in 100 with my G24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noximus03 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 In all honesty, I had a 9mm major upper built and plan tp shoot that exclusively. I talked with a buddy who also shoots with an SJC and we worked things out by using a jewelers file and taking some material off of the mount next to the ejection port. Ran 500 rounds through it yesterday and 300 rounds of 9 today with not a single problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlsvt Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 So is the only problem that it's hitting the optic mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noximus03 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 So far as I can tell, that's exactly what's happening. Dishy happen at all yesterday with two different uppers, though. Ran like a champ at my local USPSA match today as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlsvt Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Awesome. Sounds like you got figured out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noximus03 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Time will tell, but like I said, I'm trying to sell the .40S&W upper. Gonna load for 9 major instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
