Bobby Carver Glock 17

[Adrenaline]

I just wanted to give credit to Carver Custom and everyone who makes Bobby's business possible. I shoot Glock, always will. When I recently went Open and chose Bobby's gear it was an easy decision. Shoots nicer and flatter than my buddies Czechmate. It's about the operator for sure 100%, in my opinion it all starts with what makes you confident enough to train and practice.

 

Heres mine.

 

Carver Custom magwell, 4 port comp, angle mount for I like them better than the upright mount, many hours of conversation with Bobby acquiring his opinion and knowledge on what works best gave me this gun here. I run a kkm barrel and 7.8 gr gives me about 172 PF. I have tested all the way up to 187 PF and could of kept going for there were no signs of pressure using federal primers, but needed to up the recoil spring if I were to continue. I settled with a 15lb wolff recoil spring and wolff uncaptured guide rod. I do use a johnny glock trigger, I have a prototype that is strictly business in competition. 2 lb break with all safeties in tact and full striker/cruciform engagement. If you like running your glock in competition, try Carver Custom on for size for it will be your first and last choice. It was for me anyways!

Heres some good load data as well, 

 

Sorted by headstamp brass

Hs6 at 7.8gr gives 172 PF

1.1550 COL.

 

Silhouette 

7.0 gr gives 168 PF, 7.1 gr was right at 176 PF I believe 

1.1550

 

Federal SPP or Winchester SPP work great all the way down to a 4lb striker spring.

Glad you like it. When did you get it? What is the round count so far?

 

kinda keep thinking about doing a Glock open gun but I’m already rigged out for CO

I've practiced and shot with it probably around 5k rounds since I got it running this last month. Wears the same if not less than a factory glock. Shooting major+compensator doing its job well=a very flat non violent recoiling competition gun. I dont know where people get the issues with "major is too much for a polymer frame pistil." That simply isn't the case as long as the gun is built correctly ran with the right spring weight, good barrel and comp that actually work.

And what I mean by got it running is working up loads. Have not had 1 malfunction.

Hello: You may want to list the bullet weight and type you are using. Not sure I would want to use Federal pistol primers with 170PF loads. Thanks, Eric

Do you have any videos of it? Would like to see the comp working.
