njl Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 In the middle of shooting a stage today, I noticed the loctite had failed and my Glock 34's front sight was loose and leaning. It was the last stage, so I just shot through. Had this not been the last stage, should I have been allowed to: switch to a backup gun that I'd brought (I had a G17 and a G19 with me) just swap out the upper (slide and barrel) from my G17 onto my G34 frame Legally, the frame on a Glock is "the firearm", so I think it could be argued that swapping uppers, it's still the same gun...but swapping uppers on a 34/17 does kind of change the "model" of gun. Is a pistol with the front sight loose with the potential to fall off considered "unserviceable"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 What's a sight? Oh, you actually use those? I think that's the match director's call? I wouldn't see that being a problem, to switch for a part coming off the gun.... if you didn't have a little Glock sight wrench with you to tighten it up. But someone may argue that in the real world your sight might fall off, but the gun still works - so deal with it. Good opportunity to practice your index and point shooting. Right ?
