Are you going to refinish them? I think, we all enjoy seeing your work.
Welcome back.

Welcome back.

Bill-glad you're back also. I've been quite pleased with my sole (to date) Gen4, a fairly recent G22. After much empirical experimentation, I ran it "frame naked." Sights remain Glock, albeit Glock steels. Other than lubricating the triggerbar/connector interface, replacing the OEM magazine release with a slightly more protrusive Glock FBI one, and replacing the OEM slide stop/release with a Glock extended one, I've pretty much left well enough alone. It did shoot to the left, necessitating the rear sight being drifted almost to the far right of the slide dovetail, apparently this is a bit of a common malady with Gen4 guns.

Interested in hearing your experiences with it.

Best, Jon

Welcome back. I've been running a bone stock (except for HD sights) Gen4 G19 for most of a year. It grows on you, and has much to recommend it.

I have heavily modified what I'll call an "early" Gen4 19 with a Gen4 smooth face trigger bar and added a 10-8 rear with Ameriglo tritium front (orange ring). The beavertail backstrap does not lock to the frame at the top but it stays in place regardless. The replacement trigger bar seemed to improve/smooth the pull. It appears to be chrome plated.

Heavily modified. *snicker*

Welcome back! Your posts were ones I always read and enjoyed.

Thanks all for the kind words.

I ran a hundred rounds through it this AM before work, and #1 was with me all day. It was weird not needing suspenders to keep my pants up.

In so far as sights are concerned....POA/POI is one of my OCD touch points. This one is WAY off, like a couple inches at 25 yrds high. I'm waffling back and forth on sights. Mostly because I'm too far down the BoMar/WC road to see clearly back.

Just picked up a 22, as one of the 17s is going to be sacrificed to the gods of curiosity. Really stoked with the barrel fit and slide to frame fit. Definite step up from the Gen3. That recoil spring assembly....hmmmmmm I'm not understanding how this is an improvement, but as long as it works I suppose.

All in all, nice gun. Needs slide stop, sights, bbl, mag release, and a trigger job.

I think LOW mounted bomars look good on glocks

What was the 1911 issue if you don't mind my asking? Why replace the barrels on the glocks immediately? Also, I'm glad to see you posting again. I always enjoyed your insights.

1911/1935 - no issues at all. I love them dearly. Just growing up, I suppose.

Barrels: I have a 2" at 25yrd requirement. It is one of those things I won't budge from. And that's the upper limit. I like 1" much better. I heard the Gen 4 was capable of that, and so far, I can totally see it happening.

0) you need an SCD. I know a guy.
1) ain't no barrel like a bar sto barrel.
2) jm Tom Givens package if you want to stick with 3:00; all the cool kids are using the wing claw 2.0.
3) what sight picture do you want? I prefer ameriglo hackathorns.

Listening carefully to this.

I like me some KKM...
