Dev, The copper grease does wear out over time. I was told to let it be until you put a few hundred rounds through it. If you removed it I would not worry. Just get something like gun butter and make sure that you follow the 3-2-1 method. The 1 point on the frame that you need to lubricate will make a world of difference for breaking in the trigger. But in the end it is a Glock and you could put 10,000 rounds through it without ever adding one drop of oil. pGobEpUO3Uc

Your Glock came with copper colored grease on all the major parts. Read your manual, it says not to clean this grease off. Also, check this link out: http://membres.lycos.fr/shooter/glock/glubric.html

Also if you are looking to buy a glock you may be able to save youirself quite a bit of money. Look into joining the Glock shooting sports Foundation. One of the best membership benefits is the ability to get a certificate once a year to buy any glock at the LEO price point. Lawmen supply is one of the places that participates in this program. I just got my certificate this weekend. For a 25 dollar membership I could have saved oer 200 off my glock 19. http://www.gssfonline.com

I shot some more of this crap at the range on Thursday. I had a FTF in my glock. The primer was dented as usual but an entire section of the primer just broke off. weird. I can't wait for my range to start stocking other than this junk ammo. Edit: I forgot. My father in law went to the same range earlier in the week. The UMC would not feed into his para LDA or his browning hi power.

Ammo storage in a locked filing cabinet! Great idea. Now to craigslist to find one cheap!

Right, I know they are very back ordered but I was more interested in quality. If I place an order now I will have it when I need it 6 months from now.

Has anyone ever purchased reloads from Georgia Arms? I was looking at the 115 GR 9mm at 0.26 per round.

It is dirty dirty crap and I would never fire it but the Dick's in Cherry Hill NJ has had Remington UMC .40SW in stock. It has been in stock for MONTHS now. I just wish it would magically transform into 9mm! I have been thinking of getting a glock 27 because everywhere I go I find .40

Thanks Gun for Hire! using that trick I am certainly left eye dominant. I think my next range trip I will try shooting a few magazines left handed. I think with a left handed grip and a left eye aim I might feel better than turning my head while shooting right handed.

Thanks for the ideas on reloading books. I will pick one of those up as a starting point. Even though I use the net for everything I still find that a good book is a better starting place.

I would love to learn about reloading but I have no idea where to begin. Does anyone want to point me in the right direction? Dillon's website is complicated. There are dozens of add ons

I was just telling someone yesterday what DIRTY DIRTY ammo the Remington UMC crap is. My range just switched from American Eagle by federal to this junk. I have had to FTF in my Glock 19 but it sure does a number on the internals.

maksim, I would be interested if the price is right. I want to reload 9mm once primers can be found.

OTIS cleaning kit works great and I can carry it in my range bag just in case. http://www.otisgun.com/cgistore/store.cgi?page=/new/product.html&setup=1&ida=143&idp=118&his=0|115|118&cart_id=8053588.2244 I use the otis bore cleaner but I might switch back to #9 because of the copper fouling in my barrel. Luckily the Glock does not seem to mind. I used CLP for cleaning and lubing but if I switch back to #9 I will probably use the hoppes gun lube too I just mixed up my first batch of Ed's Red so I am going to test that out as well. Cheap as hell! http://home.comcast.net/~dsmjd/tux/dsmjd/tech/eds_red.htm

I agree with Tom. I bought the same bag and it fits everything just fine. I think I carry too much crap with me to the range because it is a little tight with all my stuff. I was planning on a separate "what's in your bag" type post when I get the chance.

Yea, I have 5 guard dogs. 200 pounds and all trained to kill. My security system includes many items including poison arrow blow dart hallways like in Indiana Jones and to top it all off a mote full of Croc Men (part Crocodile part man) and if you get past all that I am a pretty good shot.

I have bought ammo recently from Bass Pro Shops. No issue at all. I find it funny that you need a Jersey FID card to buy it in person but there is no FID requirement to buy online.

ProActive is correct. Registration of guns legally purchased in other states is optional. However, while the XDm 9 is not illegal in NJ the 19 round magazine it comes with IS ILLEGAL. Bringing those magazines into the state is illegal.

I will post a review once I shoot it. I got the case today.

I gave in and ordered that same bag. I should be getting it on Thursday as well.

woops sorry Tom, got you confused with someone else here. Similar avatars I think. I think I may cancel my back order and get this one. I need my duffel bag back for packing clothes.

I ordered the midway range bag too. The problem is that it has been back ordered to the middle of June. I may have to cancel and get something else. What midway bad did you get Chad?

Brownell's vs Midway which one do you prefer? I go with Midway. Brownell's takes forever to ship to my work in Philly.

next trip out to the range I may see how I do with my left hand. I just did a bit of quick dry firing and a left handed weaver stance feels good. I need to practive my isosceles stance. No matter the hand the isosceles stance just does not feel right.
