Kraj Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Ive been toying with the idea of playing around with the idea of an open glock. In the research ive done SJC seems to do really good work. My question is should i go with their home built kit and save some money or should I pay out and have them build me one. I dont want to put one together myself and have nothing but problems but at the same time I could buy a lot of glocks for $2000. Here are links to what im talking about: SJC Built http://stores.sjcguns.com/-strse-2/SJC-Open-Pistol-9mm/Detail.bok $1925 Home built http://stores.sjcguns.com/-strse-94/SJC-Home-Build-Cmore/Detail.bok $549 Just looking for your thoughts. Thanks Edit - I should add that i have a mag well and a trigger kit from my limited gun if that plays a part Kraj Edited September 26, 2013 by Kraj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EkuJustice Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I assembled one here and it runs great. I would pay to have the ejection port lowered though as that's pretty much needend for reliability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parashooter38 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 If you had the $1925.00 job done what would the turn around time be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter995 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I have been where you are, built a open Glock. It ran really well, but at the end of the day it's NOT an STI. If you are going to spend 2K on a Glock, spend a little more and get a used STI. You will be much happier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyGlock Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Definitely NOT an STI. Thats where the prob lies. If you accept it as it is then its NOT a prob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick88 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 If you are going to spend 2K on a Glock, spend a little more and get a used STI. You will be much happier! I would have said this same thing 12 years ago, but since changing to a modern custom Glock "SJC" "CARVER" etc, my gunsmith tools are starting to rust from lack of use :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 On a glock check the classifieds. Around this time they pop up all the time for good prices from people upgrading to an sti. For mounts I would strongly suggest the sjc as it allows more holster choices. I started with a glock I built as I got a great deal on a lot of the parts and had got a prize table trigger so I didn't have much in it. It ran well but I prefer the sti I upgraded too. The glock now resides as my backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick88 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The glock now resides as my backup Good move, a back up gun should always be the one you know is going to work. When I want to push the limits of reliability for that minor edge I will shoot my 2011 gun :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinsler83 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I am working on my open build now. Waiting on the barrel from Barsto and then I'll have to get some bullets and test comps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissa5 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) I've got 2 Carver Customs and have been very happy with them. They cost less than an SJC or 2011. Plus, Bobby Carver has great customer service. http://www.bb-enterprise.biz/productCat44981.ctlg Edited October 19, 2013 by melissa5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
