High Exposure

Is it worth it? Do you see an actual benefit to the aftermarket striker over the OEM?

Don’t you at least bring some spare parts? I keep an Altoids tin in my pistol bag that has a Glock punch and a replacement for every spring and small part on the gun. Short of the barrel, slide, or frame having a catastrophic malfunction, I can fix my gun. Is that a Glock OEM firing pin? Factory ammo? OEM/std weight springs?

Aw shit.... @Zeke got Peel too....

Well, to be honest. We must all love A-holes or none of us would be on this forum!

My point, Ray, was that you typically go scorched Earth with stuff like this and go full “Vinegar”. Zeke typically preaches the “honey” approach. I was just surprised to see the “make a friend” statement on your account, and wanted to make sure Zeke didn’t have you duct taped to a lawn chair in your basement.

Good man. You'll do well here. Welcome!

Who are you? Where’s Ray Ray? @Zeke, how did you get Ray Ray’s account?

Nicely done! Can I have it?

Nice! I did the same thing. Have an RMR cut G19 slide and an Advantage Arms .22lr G22 conversion slide I used to swap on and off as I wanted to use them. I am just going to make them dedicated guns, no more swapping slides around. Life is good. It’s like getting a new Glock for $70, how can you go wrong?

Shooter, you still in? It’s gonna be a wet one. I got my gear all sorted for tomorrow:

https://bigtexoutdoors.com/products/glock-oem-frames-stripped-complete-g17-g19 I prefer to buy from Ike. He has RTF as well as OD Green and black stripped and complete Glock OEM frames.

I don't like the Mossberg safety location and prefer the Remington type. And while the Remington's standard safety isn't great, the addition of the Vang Comp Dome Head Safety makes it much better and intuitive. https://vangcomp.com/shop/vcs-remington-dome-head-safety/

I don't see them at The Glock Store site and cant find them in the search - Nevermind I did just order 2 OD Green stripped 3rd gen frames (one G17 and one G19) from Ike at Big Tex Outdoors - Great company if you are looking to spend money. Ike is a young kid and does his business right. ETA: Just got the email.

I thing the RTF is the big selling point here. All my of Glocks are Gen 3 guns - They run and run and run. Rob, do they have the scalloped slide cuts or the standard? I do not like the scalloped cuts.

They are the best factory frames in my opinion and that's not a terrible price. Make a great foundation for a Roland Special. Send it to Doug at ATEi.

Funny you should say that. Tell that to Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth. They were bailed out, remember Lee Iacocca and the K-car. A bit bigger than Remington, but proof that if you pay attention to your customer and put out a decent product, you can come back.

http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/17/news/companies/remington-exits-chapter-11/index.html Remington seems to have secured creditors and is resuming operations. Don't know the details, but they aren't going away

I find your ideas intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. How does one go about setting this up?

I made the horrible mistake to go climbing at Poke-O-Moonshine in the Adirondack the first week of June. Never been so miserable while trying to do something I love in my life. Those little fuckers were sent here from the butthole of Satan himself. Nasty little fuckers. Climbed all the classics on the tick list, but we paid for it. Must have lost a quart of blood to those little bastard.

Ok. This is fair. But I did say 10/22 first and that everyone should have one. I was pushing the 15-22 on Z and Mrs Z. I’m a work in progress Don’t you say an unkind work about my NODs. I’ll be seein’ you tonight. It’s cool, you don’t have to leave a light on.

Now now Peel. I advised you to get nice Ruger 10/22 with a heavy barrel and a youth stock, and a decent piece of glass for it first. A weapon of steel and wood. Not a single bit of polymer or Velcro to been seen. Harrumph!
