Alright! I'm in too! Just got me a Glock 22; one of the pre finger groove ones with night sights. Red Face I admit it; I was weak!!!

I took in my recently acquired G17 & G26 for upgrades and NS on the #26. Glock brand NS cost me $60.42, plus I got the recoil spring and slide release replaced, and + extensions on both my magazines.

The G17 was due for new recoil spring and guide, firing pin, firing pin safety, extractor, trigger bar, spring loaded bearing. It had a small crack in the frame. The tech told me the frame had gotten brittle, and would be replaced with a newer G17 frame at no charge. This will have a different serial number...so much for my Austrian proofed Gen. II frame. This process will take about two weeks. The only original parts of my gun will be the slide and barrel and sights.

The nice tech also gave me a box and tools for the G17 and swapped out three ten round mags for three fifteen round mags. All I paid for was the NS. I may have them put NS on the G17 when it is ready for delivery...as I have a slight tinge of guilt for taking advantage of their kindness.

Now that I have the G36, I want a G21SF and a 6" 10mm hunting barrel. Then I have another .45 and can also reach out and touch something in 10mm also. :-)

Does anyone else have the urge to send this post in to SIG's customer service department?

BB61,

Ahhhh yes the Glock 20SF.......resistance is futile Big Grin

I am currently saving up for a Glock 34 and have a Glock 24C on order at my local gunshop but from what I hear they are somewhat rare and difficult to locate.

Yup I did. The RTF2 G17 I was pining about in another thread.



Now my G19 has a sibling in the fold once again. And so the modding starts...(extended slide catch so far, more to follow)

I have shot several issued Glocks in the past and shot them very well. That was great when I had easy access to a range and ammunition.

My biggest hesitation about purchasing a Glock for personal use was the inability to practice dry firing at home, without having to actuate the slide each time to cock the striker, for follow up shots.

I use to own a P229R DAK in 40SW, but I sold it. I have had my eye on a SP2022 in DAO the last several weeks. Being initially trained on DA revolvers, I am not bothered about long, heavy trigger pulls.

I just learned about the Next Level Training (www.nextleveltraining.com) SIRT Training Pistol in the Glock 17 / 22 form factor. It has renewed my interest in Glocks. From what I have read on ToddG's Pistol Training site (http://www.pistol-training.com/archives/4387), it could solve my home training needs.

I haven't made a final decision on which way to go yet. I am sorry if this post temps more of you to go over to the dark side. ;-)

Regards,
Alan

I'm going to test fire this old school 2nd Gen and a few P228's in just a bit. I might take a G17. I've not been to the range in AGES!! It really needed a good bath, so it was completely stripped down and cleaned.

I dropped in a black SS Wolff guide rod, Wolff recoil spring (factory weight), Wolff firing pin spring, Wolff trigger spring and firing pin safety spring. Went ahead and put on an extended slide stop lever, changed the trigger pin and the trigger housing pin out for the Titanium pins, and I think that's about it. Oh... had a spare butt plug and put a skull slide cover plate on it, and did the white Crayola Crayon trick. I was going to slap Trijicons on it, but I already went a little too nuts, so held off. The owner didn't recognize it.

You could spend a bunch of money on one of those inert training guns, OR you could get one of these and save a bunch of money.

I have no experience with this item, but I'd try it before anything else.

I understand your issue and compared to dry-firing a Sig, it is a pain but not enough of one to be a problem for me. I just reset the striker with a little pull on the slide.

Yep...just ordered a G19 today - my last Glock (G35) was sold off several years ago. Time to give them another try as I've never owned a G19 before.

NICE! What barrel is that? It looks beefy. Bet it has a heck of a feed ramp/support.

In reply to the OP, nope, sorry. I cannot stand the trigger pull and so the rest becomes meaningless. I also tend to buck the trend and so far, everyone, their grandma and their dog owns a Glock and so that means this stubborn S.O.B. never will. Razz

Funny you mention that...it's actually the reason I started shopping for one. I figured if everyone and their second cousins (twice removed) had one, I should know how to operate, handle, and effectively use one. Worst case scenario is I have to pick one up, I want to know how it works.

A trip to the range with one of my friend's Glocks sold me, and now it's my everyday carry.
