Anyone here into firearms?

I may be fortunate, but I haven't had any extraction issues at all with my Glock 19 Gen 4...after I purchased it I brought it to a gunsmith (who is a Glock guy) to make sure I didn't have the faulty old spring assembly.

So i have a UTG a2 style carry handle. It's not bad. My only huge problem with it is, the rear site knob. They are extremely stiff.

Someone on amazon worked it out to make it smooth.

Can anyone take the time to make a youtube vid out of it???

"I did find the rear sight to be a bit stiff and it seemed to "hang up" a bit when elevated. I took it apart and ran a 1/2 drill through the rear sight assembly hole in the handle body and re-finished the bare aluminum with Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black (an essential product any AR enthusiast should have on hand). It works fine now, no hang-ups and smooth"

I have a Gen 4 G26.

Ugh I am going to be retarded and buy both the 17 and the 19 tomorrow. I know it.

Getting a 2/3 majority in the Senate to ratify such a treaty is highly unlikely, but that's assuming that the UN can get its act together enough to actually write such a multi-national document that has any degree of coherence. I consider that unlikely. And the fact that Iran was invited to be on the organizing bureau for the group only reinforces my estimation that the whole process is likely to be yet another version of the UN Clown Show.

I'm not saying that one shouldn't donate to the NRA/ILA in support of their stance, but I suspect we have only seen the leading edge of the fear-mongering that will be coming down the pike and I'm inclined to take it all with a grain of salt. The NRA is most definitely not above trying to scare the people into donating to it.

This Arms Treaty can't have any direct effect on US law, and international treaties can't supersede the Constitution.

I watched LaPierre's address to the UN on Youtube today. Good stuff.

NRA is always trying to scare me to donate... they waste too much of my money on paper and postage.

I don't own any Gen4 Glocks so I can't speak to any spring issue there, but AFAIK most people that have ejection problems with the Gen3 and earlier (stovepipe and/or brass heading for their face/shirt) is due to limp-wristing the gun. It's a correctable user error.

Controversial subject. Not everyone agrees that limp-wristing is a problem - at most thought to be only one component of ejection problems. Although it's possible that the grip angle of the Glocks may contribute to FTE's relative to the way that some people hold it, the issue appears to be improved given the different recoil springs in the Gen 4.

I've taken courses from some recognized Glock experts. Larry Vickers does give it some credence as a combination of grip technique and design factors. Louis Awerbuck just make a rude noise when the subject of limp wristing is brought up.

I'm going to pick up a Gen4 19 (or 17, or both) tomorrow. So excite.

Headed straight to the range from there. Got a new range bag, too.

This one:

Range Bags | Range Ready Bag | 5.11 Tactical

$100 on Amazon and it's nice! Plenty of space for bringing several pistols to the range.

tvfreakazoid · 07-13-2012, 04:48 AM

I have a g19 gen 4 my self.

One of the only issue i have with it is that it rubs against my middle finger knuckle under the trigger guard. Not sure why because i'm my xdm 5.25 i don't have that issue. The trigger guard looks similar to the xdm.
But i do have a hogue grip on my glock. Maybe that's what causing it.

I don't have big hands either.

nice big range bag...im considering this backpack to use for matches because it seems easier to lug around during matches between stages than my regular range bag
