Bucky Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Note, if you shoot a world shoot then the 9mm is the more advantageous round to shoot 'cause there is no capacity limit (other than size limitations - to generalize) and you can get more 9s in a mag than .40s.

If you don't mind losing 1 point for every C and D zone hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Ooops! Total brain fart, I thought we were talking production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twix Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Yeah, Dowter, if you're starting from scratch Glockwise, get the $580 one, sure. If you were planning on using a Caspian slide and aftermarket barrell you would be better starting with a 3 pin frame(newer model, it is a little stronger) like flex says. Skeeter, why did you say you would just as soon start with a g35 if you had to do it over? Tom Bergman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 tom as everyone knows i love my 24, but the 35 can play more games than the 24 and if i were starting today i'd go for the one that plays everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Glock Racing Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I figured that since many people were going to the 6inch on the 1911 frame that I would give it a try too.Here are my reasons to try the 6inch over the 5.3inch. 1. Longer sight radius.(easier to shoot) 2. More accurate.(not that important in IPSC but still...) 3. Less powder charge to make major.(softer) 4. Less muzzel flip since there's more weight out front. A single stack has a metal frame which makes the balance of a 6 inch far different than a glock. The longer slide will also be slower which can translate to more muzzle flip and recoil. You will likely only save 0.1-0.2 grains of powder with the 6 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowter Posted November 17, 2003 Author Share Posted November 17, 2003 Is it just a matter of balance then? Because issues of frame speed have been worked out already with 1911 6inch gun users by skeletonizing the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Dowter, reading between the lines here --- I think that what Matt's saying is: just because something produces a certain result on a 1911/2011 platform isn't a valid indication that it will produce the same result on a Glock...

Sure, but certain results on a different platform would seem to give some inductive evidence that they may occur on another platform being as how they both are more similiar than dissimiliar.

Flexmoney Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 awwwh...heck. You've talked about that G24 long enough...you know that is what you really want to try. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowter Posted November 17, 2003 Author Share Posted November 17, 2003 awwwh...heck. You've talked about that G24 long enough...you know that is what you really want to try. Go for it! LOL. I posted a WTB in the classifieds about 10 minutes ago. Wanting one and finding one for a decent price might be two different things. I was just at the gun show at the Monoreville Expo Mart today and couldn't find one. They had a nice selection of full auto weapons but no G24.

Custom Glock Racing Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Glock vs 1911 Setups. They cant be validly compared. Way too many differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 LOL. I posted a WTB in the classifieds about 10 minutes ago. Here's a 24C for $580. I'd call up Glock and find out if you can get a non-ported G24 barrel before considering it. Glock 24C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
