Dlask Glock G19 with Pic

Nice. :)

I'm still waiting on mine. I think I'll go mad if it doesn't arrive tomorrow: I hate receiving the temporary ATT copy before the firearm.
 
I've got an extra OGW 5" SS barrel for mine, and after I try it for accuracy and function, I may port it.

Also added an extended slide stop.

Now to add the Harrts mercury recoil spring guide, and the G 19 will be just about perfect.

Well Boys - took her to the range tody. It was pissing rain:mad:. First shot went bang then nothing :confused: and slide locked up tighter than a bankers wallet...not sure quite what happened cause I couldn't rack it....I think I may have not allowed the trigger to reset. I slapped the back of the slide hard and then racked it and that seemed to work....is this common?

Anyway, after that the gun worked 100% through 100 rounds. Quite a bit more muzzle flip than I am used to but after the first mag I found it to be a non-issue. POA was a little bit high and to the right, will have to play with the sights a little on the next session. Even though it has an NY trigger I didn't find it to be excessively heavy, I think I'll keep it as it is.

Overall impression - I like the G19 a lot, points naturally and fits my hand, can't wait to get some more trigger time in.

Questar and Storm Lake Barrels are in my little black book here... Mark and Questar AND SL are outstanding to deal with.

Here is the likely cause of your problem with locked up barrel if you did a barrel replacement yourself... at least it was the cause of mine. For whatever reason, the cutout for the recoil spring to sit in on compact Glocks needs to be .50". On full size Glocks it is .42". I have no idea why that is... but many of the manufacturers missed that small change by Glock and what appears to happen, in my opinion anyway, is that the spring jams the action. Period. The answer? Two ways to cure the problem once and for all. The first way is to put your recoil spring assembly in a lathe or use a dremel and turn it down to .42" diameter so it sits in the incorrectly machined 'slot' in the barrel. The better way and the right way IMHO is to have the barrel machined so that the 'slot' is .50" which is what it should be on the small Glocks.... I hope I am not confusing the issue. In any event, I must tell you that Mark and Questar stood behind their product in such an outstanding manner that I cannot help but take every opportunity to give him kudos... he even had me send him the gun to make sure that it was working smoothly before releasing it back to me.

I have been told that there are only two real efforts to make in getting your Glock accuracy up... first is to replace the barrel with a competition grade barrel (tighter) and the second is to replace the recoil spring assembly with one that uses a tungsten steel rod. For what it is worth.

We are going with Glocks for IPSC (along with our Kimbers) and IDPA and GSSF. The guns that we have chosen for target league are already tight and accurate.

Hmm - I'll have to check the fit of mine. Now the problem I had was on the first round. After that I had no other problems. Thanks for the tip, I'll check into it.
