Kyle7735 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have just started shooting production with my Glock 34. After watching a youtube video of Frank Proctor he stated that he places a dab of fingernail polish on the right hand side of the magwell (As a right handed shooter) which gives his eyes something to focus onto while reloading. Similar to the way a fiber optic front sight works. I cannot find anything in the rulebook mentioning a painted dot being illegal for production. I appreciate any thoughts and or opinions on this.

sperman Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 There was also a NROI ruling on this. I'm not sure why they took it off of the web site, but it is still available if you know where to look for it. http://www.uspsa.org/uspsa-NROI-ruling-details.php?indx=47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 However, if the "cosmetic finish" happened to be worn thru somewhere this would certainly be legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could practice reloads and not worry about shooting open minor with a production gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 However, if the "cosmetic finish" happened to be worn thru somewhere this would certainly be legal. Careful there -- Amidon has ruled in the past that a magwell that was incredibly beatup from reloading practice on a Glock rendered the frame illegal for production due to wear, IIRC......

I guess i could bump it up to 75? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did that go? he wore it so much it turned into a Dawson Ice magwell? I dont fully understand how it wore so hard it did could make it illegal.

Nik Habicht Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The competitor wore the magwell down to the point that it looked as if he'd taken tools to it. I'm confident he didn't -- but from a visual examination, it appeared similar to grinding material away.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mine the magwell is already chamfered as it comes out of the mold. the only place it could really be worn down is the trigger housing channel. Any thinner around the sides or front and it would have no structural stability. Literally paper thin. Maybe old glocks are less cut away inside the mag well from the factory.

Nik Habicht Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Correct -- but if you throw 1-200 reloads at that frame, 5 days a week, over the course of a couple of years, there'll be some wear..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im already getting some and ive only had the gun for 5 weeks. I wish there was a picture of that gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what several years of reload practice did to my gun. Luckily I it never pushed me into open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what several years of reload practice did to my gun. Luckily I it never pushed me into open. Thats even more beat up then my m&p. I wore the inside down far enough that the back side of the inside of the magwell got thin enough that it cracked into the takedown tool channel for the backstraps. Then I switched to CZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmanCdp Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 My son got questioned at a major match by the guy doing the gun inspections about his Glock was tore up around the magwell from practicing reloads so much.. Another shooter from out of state also stepped in whipped out his pocket knife and cleaned up the magwell.. Case closed..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
