I hope they buy you dinner first and pick up your Uber after.

lol, yeah I wouldn't buy a Glock from them. For the rare stuff they are, as charitably as possible, priced "on the high side." But they have a lot of rare stuff. Their SAA inventory is impressive on the website. It's stunning in person.

You're making me dizzy...

Best, Jon

Then I have succeeded.

Got to handle one of the B&T G19s at one of the shops I teach at today. The cut is definitely deeper than the factory MOS cut. The barrel is either not factory, or not original to the gun, as it has a different serial number and different serial format than the Glock numbering system. I should have gotten a pic of the top of the barrel, but was running to set up my classroom so didn’t think about it.

The slide-to-frame lockup seemed pretty solid. Did not try the trigger. Finished seemed more like the flat black Gen. 3 finish than the current glossy black finish, but that is likely the B&T refinish after milling the slide cut. Retail was $1,449ish for pistol and optic, and falls in line for what I would expect from an LGS for something like this.

I found this interesting, but to quote Pride and Prejudice (as every good gun forum should), not handsome enough to tempt me; I’m very happy with my carry and training G19.5s with green 509s. I think that the G49 direct mount will have enough incremental advantages, namely direct mounting of optic, extended slide length to reduce likelihood of hand in front of muzzle during manipulations, and a more robust slide at the muzzle end, to justify a purchase (particularly if I can find a blue label version, which, I have long suspected has higher QC, and a recent thread seems to support this theory). I’m not sure the same can be said about the B&T version, at least for me and my needs.

What thread are you referring to which supports QC differences in Blue Label?

That definitely is low! My Talo G45 is cut just below the bottom of the curve:

I haven't seen anything conclusive either way to confirm or deny this is the case, but in my anecdotal experience, I have had reliability issues with multiple "commercial" Glocks, but never with blue label guns. My training G19 has malfunctioned under conditions where my identically-set-up blue label G19 has performed without issue. To be fair, Glock did swap out a blue label G47 for me due to finish flaking off the barrel lug, which even a perfunctory QC check should have caught. I can't say for certainty that the blue label guns are better, but I've seen nothing to suggest they are worse, and I have enough personal experience to believe.

These photos should probably go into the Acro thread for reference.

The 'L' prefix is a Glock factory replacement barrel, L meaning Lauf. Replacement frames start with G (Griffstueck), and slides with S (Schloss).

Thanks for the pics, I was wondering about the magic of the BT job.
