My Favorite Glock (Just Got Better)

[pbcaster45]

After 10,000 rounds I decided to upgrade my old Glock 35 with some stippling work from Taran Tactical Innovations - turned out really nice!

Beside the stippling it's got a Lone Wolf Barrel, Sevigny Rear Sight, Heinie .250 Front, and a Vanek Classic Trigger Kit (pull weight 3 lbs. 5 oz.). I've thought about removing the pre-travel but I probably won't.

Nice!

The plastic fantastic bug has bitten me lately and I'm looking at a stippling kit. I've got plenty of plastic to practice on before I do a reduction and stippling on my intended project(s).

I've got a G34, G35, and G41. I find that I bump the slide stop and lock it back on the G35 while I don't on the G34 and G41. The G35 is a Gen 3 gun while my G34 and G41 are Gen 4. My next plastic fantastic will be a Gen 3 G23. Our shop buys them as police turn ins and they are pretty much as new. We sell them for $333. Not a 40 fan but the G23 makes a nice G19 size 9mm with a simple barrel change.

And the G19 makes a nice G19 size 9mm with no barrel change at all! Whose barrel do you use for your conversions?

[AxeHandle]

G19 can't be a 40 S&W at will... Haven't made one yet...

[zeus]

Or you could just buy a 19 and a 23

I have all the 40s but never shoot them I really love the 19 and have probably a half dozen of different builds. My all time favorite. I do like the 34 and 41 as well! I have suppressor barrels from KKM for the 19/34/41 very very cool toys some days...

I carry a 35 with a X300U light sometimes in a Bloodline Nocturnal IWB. Works great!

Groo here
Those Police trade ins in 40 make great 357sigs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also if you need a smaller frame gun they can be converted to 45GAP with a slide ,barrel, mag and ejector.

I like those sights a LOT !

Even I have taken the plunge lately... I picked up a 21 g4 a few weeks ago after trading off my G20 last year. I had a KKM 10mm barrel and a bunch of ammo and supplies still around, so I figured what the heck.

I have been shooting the 21 quite a bit the last week or two, and started looking over a 19 at the LGS last week.

Yesterday I was looking at a 19 g4 at a small shop near me, and the owner puts a black Vickers G19 with the RTF2 frame in my hand and says 'here, buy this'.

I was saying don't tempt me, I have cash in my pocket. He starts clicking away on his computer and slides me a note with an 'out the door' number on it lower than I have been able to get on a g4 19 around town before tax and background check fee and says that is good for 10 minutes.

Now I am off to the range this afternoon to give it a spin.

Do you have an entire upper for the G21 to put the 10mm barrel in? Or is it one hat will allow you to shoot that ammo in the 45 slide somehow?

[bushog]

Not to Hijac but a "background check fee"?

What's up with that?

[boolitdesigner]

^^^^^^^^^^ They have that in Illinois AND a waiting period!

[cherokeetracker]

Yep in Illinois, And a Floyd card just to look at one or buy ammo.

[boolitdesigner]

^^^^^^^^^ Floyd no..... FOID yes.... Firearms Owner IDentification card. The "background check fee" is $2.00, a call to the State Police to see if you have done anything bad since the last time you bought something with an approval number to go with it. Anything I could say about this situation would be deemed political, so there.

[Yetiman]

Background check fee. In Wisconsin you have to pass a background check to buy a firearm from a dealer. There used to be a 48 hr waiting period for handguns until it was dropped just last year. The background check on handguns costs the dealer $10, and many dealers mark this up, some as high as $50.

The G21 10mm barrel from KKM is Part # G21G1. I know that the 20 and 21 have different extractors, but the stock extractor seems to keep up fine in my gen 4 21. I only had one bobble in the 150 or so 10mm rounds I have through it so far, and that was about the third round fired.

We put 200 rounds through my new 19 today, and it's kind of a hoot. But it's not in the same ballpark of fun as hot 44 mags through my Redhawk Kodiak which I also shot a bit today.

That's interesting. I've seen barrels that would allow 9s in 40 etc but haven't looked at what would work in the 21/10. Didn't know how it would work with the difference in case head diameters. Thanks for info!
