If I am reading right....some of the old brass or brass alloy loadings were in fact declared "armor piecing" by the ATF. Later they used copper to get around this. Some good info here
Swapping the battery made absolutely ZERO difference what so ever. I even swapped the two batteries between them and the problem stayed with the aimpoint, not with the battery. So a definite made no difference.
Gentleman told me to expect two weeks tops to get a replacement. After a little...
Just got another response back from aimpoint with MUCH better info and much better service!
Thanks for contacting Aimpoint!
Both are authentic Aimpoint optics and covered by our warranty. The difference in the optic body is due to our sourcing from two different machining facilities. With the...
Heard back from Aimpoint.
“We have checked the serial numbers on the photo below, and they are valid numbers for AP Micro T-2 2MOA ACET, no Mount. There is no concern.”
Guess that ends that. I appreciate them taking all the time to help me understand their super expensive red dot. :(...
I purchased two T-2 micros without mounts and received them a couple days ago through an authorized vendor. They arrived in the standard sealed, serial numbered plain white boxes with all standard instructions / tool etc. The serial numbers are only a few digits apart but there are some...
Yep Gen 5 Dawson sights. The normal ones did not hit POI for me and Dawson swapped them for me. These are the ones that worked perfect for me. https://dawsonprecision.com/new-dawson-precision-glock-gen5-g17-competition-fixed-sight-set-black-rear-fiber-optic-front/ With that said you should...
So I love my Vanek triggers in my Glocks. Having just purchased a Gen 5 and function testing it I went to Vaneks website and saw he made a Gen 5 trigger. I promptly ordered it.
Upon receiving it (appears) that the firing pin safety is OEM gen 5 that is polished with a reduced power spring...
Alright so I have a GSSF discount pistol coupon to use and I am looking at getting a 3rd gen 34. It seems that GSSF (blue label) pistols in the 3rd gen trim dont exist anymore.
I have checked with the following with the same result, No Gen 3's, and not just 34's, but no Gen 3's at all, end of...
I still believe from a "just works" standpoint they are pretty damn close to perfection. I do like the fact that my older ones still look like the day I bought them after countless holsterings. The new ones don't seem to make it through distribution without some scuffs.
One trip into the...
So I picked up a new 3rd gen Glock 19 USA made yesterday (Test fire late Oct 2014).
I searched out the USA models as they had the better finish. This new one however does not. This USA model (and a few other ones I looked at with more recent test fire dates) seem to be identical in finish to...
Thanks guys. I am going to try and take her for a first outing tomorrow and see how it goes. Hopefully it's something a box or two of ammo will take care of.
Just picked up yesterday a USA Made Glock 17 4th gen. Test fired on 2/1/2013.
I have owned quite a few glocks so I am fairly familiar with them. I raised the pistol towards the ceiling and gave it the "Recoil spring test" by letting the slide ride forward and the gun fairly frequently (well...
