Pretty often on here, people ask about coating vs bare metal when getting a slide milled. I had my 19x done 7/2022, without coating the milled area.

I dab some oil/grease mix each battery change to keep rust away and it's worked well.

I'm NOT a gunsmith, and when I'm not carrying this one, it goes in a humidity controlled safe. This is after about 17 months since the last battery change.

Anyone else still have love for these thick babies? I added a new trigger shoe, an align tactical trigger pin thumb rest, an olight plx GL and Hyve +2 aluminum extensions.

Looking to send off my Ramjet’d G45 for porting. What are some reputable recommendations of company’s?

TLDR: Johnny Glocks vex shoe with their trigger bar paired with either tactical trigger’s minus connector (smooth rolling break) or enhanced minus connector (defined wall, crisp break) feel best.

Gen 6 Glock 17

Combinations tested: JG vex shoe/bar with JG 3.5 minus, tactical trigger aluminum shoe/bar with tactical trigger minus connector and enhanced minus connector.

Pictured is chart of pull weights in order performed:
Oem
Oem polished
Swapping to JG polished striker assembly w/ 4.5 lbs striker spring
Swapping to JG plunger and reduced power spring
Swapping to JG vex shoe and trigger bar.
Testing with the 3 different connectors.

Chart also includes measurements of the various combinations trigger to back of large back-strap.

Tactical trigger shoe/bar with tactical connectors without a doubt more tactile reset.

JG vex shoe/bar paired with tactical triggers connectors without a doubt best combo’s for smooth feel whether wanting rolling break or a more crisp break.

Wish JG would sell and list whatever connector is used for their defensive and competition vex 6 systems.

Tactical trigger shoe noticeably wider with square edges. I prefer the JG vex shoe with the slimmer and rounded edges.

Really enjoying this 45.6 that I haven’t even shot yet. Lol. Waiting on my Athena Magwell, and then possibly a radian ramjet to finish it off.

My 43x is amazing to me as well.

I did something stupid this morning. After I completely clean up my 43X, the small spring right at the corner of slide (I don't know its name) pumped out (That's not the stupid part, yet). I couldn't find it at that moment (recovered later), So I decided to put everything else back and just need to buy a new one, shouldn't be a big deal. Then, the stupid part began. After I put everything else back to the slide, some how, I put the slide back to frame and racked a couple of times. The ejector suddenly fell out, and then, the slide just stuck in there. Can not completely back or forward, the the trigger stuck too. My question is that is there anything I can do to fix it? or just leave it for professionals?

Picked up a new Glock 17 Gen 6, so naturally I had to get a picture of it next to my Roland-style Gen 3 build.

The 17.3 is my take on a Roland-style Glock. I started with an OEM Gen 3 slide and SCT 17 frame and gradually built it into what you see here. Wager Machine Works milled the slide for the optic, and the trigger uses Ghost components and currently breaks around 3.5-4 lbs. The PMM Ultra comp/barrel makes it an extremely flat-shooting gun. It’s currently wearing an RMR HRS, although I still plan on moving an SRO onto it.

17.3 Roland build:

- OEM Glock 17 Gen 3 slide, milled by Wager Machine Works
- SCT 17 assembled frame
- SCT aluminum magwell
- Ghost Unit 3.0 connector
- Ghost 6 lb striker spring
- Ghost reduced-power safety plunger spring
- Ghost 6 lb extra-power trigger spring
- PMM Ultra Comp and barrel
- Glock Gen 5 magazines with Shield +5 extensions
- Trijicon RMR HRS
- SureFire X300T-B
- Howie’s Hockey Tape

The 17.6, on the other hand, is basically the opposite approach. It’s completely stock internally. The only additions are a Trijicon RMR HD 3.25 MOA and SureFire X300. No trigger work, no comp, no aftermarket frame or other internal modifications. For now I want to shoot it exactly as Glock designed it and see what the Gen 6 can do before I decide whether it needs anything.

It makes for a pretty interesting side-by-side: a heavily modified Gen 3 that represents years of Glock aftermarket development versus Glock’s newest factory iteration of the same basic platform.

I’m especially interested in putting them against each other on the timer. The Roland has the advantage of the comp and tuned trigger, but I’m curious how close I can get with the completely stock 17.6.

On top is my bedside G19.5 and below is my new CCW G48 MOS. Built in similar ways, the G19 still shoot better but the G48 is real close and conceals way better.

I don’t like goon tape. What brand for grip tape is best?

Been waiting forever on a macro. Final piece to the ole gen5 19!
