    Sidearms & Scatterguns New gun opinions....glock gen 4 full size

    Re: New gun opinions....glock gen 4 full size I don't have any experience with the G21, but my Gen4 G17 had issues right out of the box with erratic ejection and FTEs (stovepipes). The Gen4 9mms are the most problematic, and are not yet GTG, IMO. There are still issues that are unresolved...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lone Wolf Extractor... Glock 17 4th Gen

    Re: Lone Wolf Extractor... Glock 17 4th Gen I have a Gen 4 G17 that was problematic as well. Mine would stovepipe every 100 rounds on average (12 FTEs in 900 rounds when stock). I installed a LWD extractor and a White Sound Defense HRED extractor depressor plunger and had 3 FTEs in a little...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Competition Shooting: M&P9 vs Glock 17

    Re: Competition Shooting: M&P9 vs Glock 17 I have both a S&W 9mm FS gun and a Glock 17 Gen 4. M&P *vs. G17 Gen 4 1.) Better control of the firearm with small backstraps (for someone like the OPs wife, Glock std. grip will be larger dia.) 2.) More reliable for me, of the 3 I own, all have...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Still having issues with 4th gen Glock 17

    Re: Still having issues with 4th gen Glock 17 Try the LWD extractor replacement: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=298283 It's a <$20 possible fix with shipping that's worked well for a fair number of people. While it probably won't solve 100% of the erratic ejection...

    Re: M&P or XD <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: DonniePD</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Too easy.....GLOCK </div></div> Ummm - no. I own a Gen 4 G17 that's been problematic with a born-on date of 4/11/11. I used to be able to recommend a Glock...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns M&P or XD

    Re: M&P or XD I personally feel the XD has a design flaw that prevents me from owning one. If it gets a small amount of crud in the grip safety it will lock up and make the gun inoperable. However, both have had many examples of inidividual guns that have mechanical breakages or flaws. For...

    SD and ES; what is considered good?

    Re: SD and ES; what is considered good? I use a sample size of 50 rounds to get ES and SD. The smaller the sample size gets, the less meaningflu the result. In 5.56mm chambers, using SMKs, 7 1/2s or FGMM primers and Lapua brass, I have never achieved a single digit ES. ES of 28 and SD of...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns S&W M&P 9mm and 40 S&W

    Re: S&W M&P 9mm and 40 S&W I personally love the M&P platform, however, a couple of mine have issues. The main problem with my .40 FS and 9mm primarily is accuracy, or the lack thereof. Barrel lockup is abysmal with the factory barrel, using the .40 as an example, deflecting as much as...
