Tell me about Glocks

Doglips · 11-27-2003, 07:25 PM

Thak you Jesse...Think Ill try the Taurus especialy since I put 1/2 down on it already....give IDPA a shot then go from there. Kinda silly ?? Jesse and not a put down for glocks...not trying to start a flam war....but that sounds like a lot of time, $$ and mdafacations to make to a brand new .....high quality....firearm to make it safe to shoot lead bullets....and to avoide KB's.....I guess my fuzzly little brain cell keeps thining.....if I get a cheap gun say a $50 mosin-Nagant and it needs more than a new fireing pin&/or spring....then I send it back or consider it a wall hanger and strip it for parts.....in my mind if a gun aint safe too shoot when I get it (except parts guns I intentionaly order)......then it's not what I ordered and send it back and get a refund......seems to me that a $500-600 firearm should be safe to shoot out of the box (after cleaning of course)...but If you need to replace parts on a new gun to make it safe...well that just dont seem right.....even if KB's (ka-booms) are not common but replace the parts to be safe.....the the price of the gun is the price+replacement parts+gunsmith charges+my time..... If a new glock needs that much work and $$ to make it safe even for shooting cast lead.....then its too much hassel for me....Ill go with a CZ-100 or other such brand....also seems like that many changes would void the warrenty(meaning In my mind Im buying an as is gun...no warrenty....and $500+ is a little high for an as is new pistol too me).....finaly..the brass killing part would be a negitive thing for me since brass cost are a major expense in reloading.....it it destroys the brass then Im back to factory ammo....and even $10 per box of 9mm adds up qucikly compared to relaods....especialy IF I stick to my plan of 2 days aweek practing....thats $40 per week vs $12 for ammo......10 weeks and I paid for the Taurus (Reload cost based on home casted bullets vs wal-mart 9mm ammo).

Wow Jesse......I've never heard that about brass fired from a Glock. Kinda bothers me though since I have literally thousands of rounds of brass saved from the police range........

yea that would cause some problems for reloading. have you heard of it happening to anyother guns ?or should i say or there any other guns that you know of that do this ? i don't reload but it sounds like alot of you guy's do .and i know a few pwople who do and i would like to pass it on .

break the bank to buy a gun and you can't afford to buy bullets for it so you figure you'll just cast you'er own but then you run into a snag and find out that the million dollar gun won't shoot the ammo

until you go out and spend a few more hundred to get another barrel for it .but after you done that something in the gun malfunctions while you are shooting it at the range. so you you call up them high dollar gun maker's and tell them whass goin on and they tell you (sorry sir you have no warranty ) you changed parts in the gun.so what do you do???? well you have two choices

1... cry like a baby and give them you'er credit card number for the new part and wait for it to come in

2...cry like a baby and give them you'er credit card number for the part then go and shoot the rest of the ammo threw you'er high point and drink a few beers on the way home and consider it a lesson learned

just messin with you guy's

Using an aftermarket barrel does away with all the lead bullets/oversized case problems.

My brother and I both own Glock 30s. They are really fine handguns and their shortcomings are easily rectified. Glock is the only handgun I have found that rivals the 1911 in parts availibility.
