You're making me dizzy...
Best, Jon
While I grant the viability of the G17L in GSSF (hadn't thought of that one, and I'm an active GSSF participant), I still think the G34 makes a tad more sense than the G17L. But far be it for me to...
If you're using 10 round G17 magazines, DEFINITELY use the orange-followered Gen5 magazines; otherwise, for the 17 rounders, you're fine with the earlier generation G17 magazines.
Best, Jon
I guess I'm curious as to what the target (no pun intended...) market for a 17L is these days.
In my mind, a decent RDS renders a 9mm longer slide/barrel pretty much irrelevant, and if there's...
Potential causal factors:
-Non-OEM barrel
-Non-OEM magazines
-Non OEM finish.
-Non-OEM RDS milling
I've found this to be excellent, and an excellent value from Amazon:

Just be aware (and you probably are already ahead of the bubble on this) that you simply can't shoot a revolver for hundreds of rounds without pulling some maintenance/cleaning/minimal lubing the way...
Ok, so why not just get a Glock 19 and call it good???
Ok, now that I've got that out of my system....In a .380/9x18 Makarov classic, I'd recommend a CZ 83, a Makarov, a Beretta 1934, a Beretta...
You really don't need to to a total detailed disassembly of the cylinder in all likelihood in most situations; you just need to get it off the yoke so you can clean the ball bearing's raceway and the...
Here's a potential perspective:
How do you envision your use/use venues of the GP100? Carry? Defensive? Duty? IDPA/ASI? USPSA? Area 1?
For most of these venues, as long as the sucker works...
Because of the somewhat circuitous route that a 1911 round has to go through in its path from magazine to seating in the chamber, I've found .45 ACP rounds in a 1911 to be more susceptible to bullet...
So let me get this straight: Throughout your session, the GP100 cycled and ran fine, but at the roughly 75 round point, it became a bit difficult to open and close the cylinder until it cooled down...
I believe that the G17, G19 and....wait for it...G21 (and quite possibly the G34) and G26 are the Glock durability and reliability gold standards. The G30 may be up there too. If I absolutely had...
Simply cleaning and taking care of a revolver isn't difficult. Going deeper into things, where you're removing sideplates, trigger assemblies, cylinders, and going into detailed disassemblies, now...
While it's likely that the average p-f member probably shoots more in a year than the average gun owner shoots in a lifetime, unless you're a committed organizational shooter provided...
In my opinion, 200 rounds of range/target ammunition, and 1 box of defensive cartridges would be my minimum..
It would also be ideal to use it in at least one IDPA match (or similar) or training...
You can also use a vise, use padding material so that the vise jaws don't mar the strut; place the strut in upside-down, and simply use a fork to push down on the spring to allow placement of the...
I agree with Bill; which speedloaders work the best are often platform- and grip-specific. Both HKS and Safariland are highly competent mainstays. I only have one Comp! Safariland, because the...
SD if you were in the area I'd be happy to do it with you, but I strongly counsel at least first send it to Ruger with a detailed letter and let them holistically look at the revolver. That way,...
While I could certainly do it, your best bet is simply to Call Ruger Customer/Tech Support, describe the issue, get an RMA, and try to get a shipping label. Ruger Customer Support is justifiably...
The problem is that you're having a problem. You'll only know if the cylinder partial disassembly and cleaning works if you do it and have positive results afterwards. Alternatively, you can send...
I agree; do a semi-detailed disassembly of the cylinder, and clean the accumulated GSR and crud from the inside of the cylinder and the ball race; use very little, if any lubricant on contact points...
Yep.
Best, Jon
Handsome grips. Best Jon
