malagamarksman Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) I'm curious why you don't see more G34's modified for open. Wouldn't the longer barrel make it easier to make major? Why all the G17's. I'm looking to build an open glock so this information is useful to me. It IS easier to make major calibre velocity with the longer gun. I have two G17's one has a 5 1/2 inch barrel and a steel compensator. The other has a 7 1/2 inch barrel with five ports at the end. The longer gun gives at LEAST 100 feet per second more than the other using the same ammo over the same chrono same day. I can even load down with less powder for the 7 1/2 inch tube and STILL get major calibre velocity. Less powder equals less pressure, that certainly doesn't do the gun any harm.

EkuJustice Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 usually less powder=less gass which means more flip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERDUPER Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Got to thinking a 17 with a comp really has a 5inch barrel,with the extra threaded area. A 35 would b around 5.75 inches or so with a compensator. just a thought.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpa5oh Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 So is the consensus that, if you were to build an open Glock and only cared about shooting major, that the 34 would be as good as or better than the 17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlock Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Here is a video of me playing with a new mount from Japan. Freedom Art is the company. They make a mount that mounts to the glock without modifying the frame. Although I like the mount I have decided to go back to an SJC mount (sideways) with my C-More.

I am doing prototype testing for them.. All in all it is a really well built mount. Fits a bunch of different holsters. This is a great option.to consider with a built in thumb rest! Remember this mount does not require any modification for the frame. Only downside is it is a little bulky.. But you can get used to it after some time. The extra weight doesnt bias to any one side of the gun. Look for this soon here in America. They will also have a 90 degree mount for the c more scopes. The one that I am testing is their standard rail mount for picatinny scopes. Look for more review and video on our website's blog www.customglockshooters.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for bulky, I'm sure that some one might take a mill to it and do a little customization of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuk Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I have a question re: recoil spring. I see Wolf gives you a striker spring with each of their recoil springs. Is it recommended to change those too? my 10#, 12#, and 15# striker springs all look the same. Also, my carver trigger kit came with a striker complete with spring... should I just leave the one on there that Bobby sent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockman1000 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Wolff sends a striker spring with each recoil spring they sell. They are usually extra power striker springs. Since you're set up with the Carver kit, use the one it comes with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooter.860 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Im still having FTE issues. Running Carver extended ejector, with Non Loaded chamber extractor. using .40 white bearing and extra power extractor rod spring. Gun has SJC Cmore mount, so rounds are getting stuck side ways in slide. Slide is Lone wolf with lowered eject port. tried 11 # to 14 # springs. Any suggestions ?

shooter.860 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 using autocomp at 6.8 grains with a 124 bullet at 1.14 OAL I noticed that the problem lessons with my other load of HS6 at 7.8 with 124 bullet. Still does it but less often. (2 of 10 FTE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
