Glock owners united MEGA THREAD

gonna have a g19 with an inforce tac light soon I think to build a holster for if anyone is in the market for the same holler at me

 

Here's my EDC a 3rd gen 30s and I love it. I'd really like to add a light laser cobo but need to find a holster to acomadate it, I'm using a galco king tuck now and I love it.

 

10mm FTW

 

Got my carry permit yesterday! Which means my G23 is now my carry

 

Damm bud that's a fine piece I'm looking to get a light laser combo for my 30s but need to find a holster to fit it, I'm diggin yours what is it ?

 

TR Holsters off of ebay. One of the only ones I found for the G20 plus TLR1 in the nice desert sand color

 

Keine Lederhosen Waffe in meiner Austrian toolbox.

 

AHAHAHA.... .........

 

I have a G19 too, (it was actually my first handgun), but I don't have any pictures of it on here

 

My 19

 

Cool can! Is it comfortable to shoot with subsonics and no ear pro? Love my tirant but it's biig...

 

Haven't shot it yet, but it is hearing safe. It's an all wipe can. Super efficient for it's size, but requires a rebuild after 1 magazine. The idea is to keep it on all the time and to use only for emergency/home defense purposes.

 

Rebuild?

 

Probably means that you have to strip it down to the individual parts and clean it, if I was to guess.

 

He means you have to replace the internal rubber washers (wipes) because you shoot through them. Small suppressors sometimes use wipes to help reduce noise because they're not as effective as larger cans for noise reduction.

 

Oh, that's a wiped model? Didn't realize.

 

Not meant as a political post but as some recent info developing ......

ATF Reverses Position on Silencer Wipes
Modern Rifleman March 20, 2017 No Commentson ATF Reverses Position on Silencer Wipes



If anything is certain when it comes to the ATF, it’s that the agency struggles with consistency. Over the years, they’ve gone back and forth on a number of issues, with the most infamous rulings relating to whether or not you can shoulder a SIG/SB Tactical brace. Last week, they decided to change spots on yet another issue – silencer wipes. In a letter to Dead Air Armament, the ATF instructed the suppressor company to cease all sales of rubber wipes intended for use with their Ghost 45M pistol suppressor. Dead Air’s Director of Sales, Gary Hughes, posted the news to Facebook today:



The Bardwell letter referenced by Hughes was a 1999 opinion from the ATF that partly stated, “we consider a baffle to be a silencer, but a wipe, which is usually nothing more than a rubber or plastic disc with a hole in it, is generally not considered to be a silencer. Thus an individual owner could
replace a wipe.” In essence, the ATF wisely ruled at that point that wipes were far too simple to regulate. With today’s news, they’ve changed that stance and wipes are now considered suppressor parts. Anyone in possession of wipes for the Ghost 45M could now be a criminal for possessing spare silencer parts.

For readers who aren’t familiar with wipes, they’re essentially rubber washers with inner diameters (bores) that are smaller than the diameter of the bullet for which the silencer is designed. When a round is discharged, the bullet passes through and makes contact with the wipes, which in turn create a gas seal around the projectile. So long as the wipes are in good shape, they then partly close behind the bullet after it passes. The sealing action traps gas better than conventional, metallic baffles that must allow some safety clearance around the bullet. In the end, wiped suppressors can be even quieter than their conventional cousins. Dead Air’s Ghost is unique because it features a full stack of metallic baffles, but can also support the addition of a single wipe in its end cap.


Dead Air’s wipes for their Ghost 45M

The ATF’s inconsistency notwithstanding, this is a particularly ridiculous policy change for the fact that the wipes in question truly are nothing more than rubber washers. Anyone can simply drive down to their local hardware store and pick up bulk quantities of rubber fender washers in appropriate sizes with little trouble, yet I doubt the ATF is willing to go so far as to consider all rubber washers as silencer parts.

The ATF’s new position is expected to have a significant impact on the rest of the industry. Wiped cans aren’t exactly common these days, but there are plenty of older designs out there that use them. Just last week, I reviewed Gemtech’s Aurora, which is an ultra-compact 9mm silencer that relies entirely on wipes for suppression. Gemtech has a revised version of the Aurora just around the corner and this would certainly prevent them from selling wipes separately (although that wasn’t the plan anyway). From Dead Air’s perspective, the Ghost’s ability to use wipes was a significant competitive advantage over other options.

After having a chance to play with the Aurora and hearing just how effective wipes can be, you can bet I’ll be following this closely. Thus far, the reaction from gun owners has been reasonably strong, but it’s unlikely to prompt a retraction from the ATF. While Dead Air has decided not to fight the change, it is possible that others in the industry could push back in hopes that the Trump DOJ might back down. However, even that isn’t a guarantee.

 

Just compressing them wont do it. To wear it in, it needs to be loaded and unloaded several times.

In other words, go shoot her!

 

Why wouldn't you want to go shoot your new gun?

It is definitely more of an issue with the short low cap mags, I have a full size G20 and although the 15th round is tough to get in, it fits just fine and has gotten looser the more I use it. I would say the same thing goes for the whole platform really. The more you use it, the better it feels and loads.
