Lol would certainly come in handy. Ill probably wear gloves next time im loading mags cuz my hands were covered in it. Never had that happen with cci though.. go figure. Long as it goes bang, for what i paid i'm happy..... LOL

^same here. First handgun, .45, and 1911 LOL.

Nice piece. I have the stainless Ruger 1911 (sr1911 IIRC). Fun to shoot. Now that i have the Glock 19, though, the glock is so much easier to shoot effectively for me. Im a small dude and my follow up shots tend to suck with the 1911. I killed the crap out of Ahmed the terrorist armed with an AK at the range with the G19, haha..

Its my daughters 1st birthday today so i was busy all weekend :/

I didnt say it makes me shoot more accurately; it makes the gun feel more balanced when lining up for the first shot. When actually putting rounds down range, i very seriously doubt it does anything, as i am far from a professional shooter. That said, i am most definitely overthinking it, however i tend to do that quite often.

Im going to keep both. Right now the original one is in because its my go to HD gun and has the weapon light on it. At the range ill remove the light and put in the heavier rod. Seemed more comfortable to shoot that way. Obviously ill put a few mags thru with the light just to make sure i am competent if i need to use it that way, though.

^buy online from a reputable website. I get iffy about buying stuff like that from flea markets and such too.

I looked it up and local scrap yards are offering 1.20$/lb for casings, as is... I'll take mine there, rather than get a store credit of 1.45$/lb. Even if i can fit 50 pounds of casings in a box, if it is 15$ to ship said box i am only left with 1.15$/lb *store credit*, versus 1.20$/lb cash money and they dont check calibers, condition, etc.. That said, i sorted through what i had and have a ton of casings available if anyone on here reloads and needs some. Tons of .223 and 9mm for the most part. some 3006, 308, 45 and 40 as well.

I work from home other than when i go to the warehouse for 2 or 3 hours like two times a week to pull orders, and if im not around my Fiance is. Feel free to stop by whenever. I have a new flashlight on my glock i'd like to test out

To be clear, i meant i was going to try and sell the fancy one and pick up an extra original one to have on hand. That said, i shot the g19 today. Shot with the surefire x300 on and with and without the tungsten rod, without the light, and without the light but with the fancy rod.. With the light and heavy one in, it was too front heavy.. without either, it felt back heavy. I like having it in if the light is off, or if the light is on then the original one in. Why? Just because of the weight. Did it make me a tacticool shooter? No, but it did help keep the firearm balanced when a loaded mag was in. I dont think it necessarily helped with recoil and such as much as just keeping the handgun level. Im not sure what its intended purpose is and i wouldnt drop 80 bucks on one, but i have it so itll be in there if i remove the light.

Shot about 90rds today. Didnt do bad, a few failures but same as any other brand. 10/22 mag jammed up, not the ammo, and the 15-22 had an fte resulting in a squished spent casing. My hands DID turn gold though, looks like they coat the bullet itself in something that left my hands sparkly

The vast majority is .22lr. Dicks had a sale and i picked up a ton.. so now between that and the 1500 that the guy gave away, im really good for a while. Need to buy more .22 rifles though LOL. Anyone, with a bit of stalking, can get an idea of what i have if they really wanted to break in.

Jeez... Back to the topic, though, i was watching the news and they were all shocked about the 100k+ rounds, with the typical "We'll find out why OVER 100K ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION were in the building!" BS like this guy was a terrorist. I Should sell off some of my ammo. I did the math the other day and realized i have like just shy of 20k rounds of ammunition in my 500sqft place.. Wonder what the news stations would say if my house caught fire... That said, i need to call my insurance co. and add coverage for my firearms and crap... i didn't realize how much $$ i put into that crap in the last 6 months until now..

I understand, and if it is garbage ill find some use for it. I wont blame you if they blow up in my face LOL. Like i said, i can always call remington if its an issue and insist they replace it if its really a bad batch. I only need half of em to go bang to justify my trip lol

The stainless ones are still like 60 vs 80. That said, the WEIGHT difference is certainly noticeable. I swapped them out for a bit and with no mag in it was crazy front heavy, like having a flasglight up there. I could see it definitely making a difference for a pro, but realistically for someone like me i dont think it makes a difference. Im going to try and sell it and find a stronger guide rod that isnt so heavy. If i cant ill just buy one to put on hand

In East Brunswick and Woodbridge its 300 or 400 feet. For a bow.. They are in a building full of people, i bet its illegal LOL

OK, ill probably sell the tungsten one on AR15.com or eBay.. Regarding the white lettering, i googled it and it looks like people color them in. Looks REALLY clean, i was sure it was a factory thing and couldnt find anything about it earlier; thought i might have been slipped a fake or some crap.... LMAO

Yeah i could be wrong. I read they were plastic, and its hard to see what its actually made of. The firearm is most definitely a Gen 4. It does look like whats pictured; It IS partially plastic, though. The piece you can see from the front (if you were trying to shoot yourself in the eye) is plastic. Not familiar with the names of the individual small components... The springs are steel and i believe the plate that butts up against the barrel was steel, but i believe that was it. I'll have to play with it some more. There was actually a single thing that i thought was funny about the Handgun that i noticed when looking online.. The writing on the slide is in WHITE, versus the typical black engraving/etching i see everywhere online. It is a blue label Glock, is that why? There is writing on the manual that was inside that stated that the HG was sold sometime in 2015 at Bullet hole, i believe. I'll double check when im home. Its definitely gen 4, has the back straps and all that fun stuff.

Lmao you guys are hilarious. I'm calling Central NJ, though. That said, this must be some REALLY crappy ammo to have just given it away. Hopefully it as just the OP's firearm and mine will do OK. Never really fired anything other than CCI as that is what my local FFL stocked and its not really worth paying for shipping on .22.

Any suggestions for a replacement for the original plastic guide rod, or do you think thats unnecessary?

Hey folks! So as some of you know i recently purchased a second hand Glock 19 Gen4. Turns out it was an even better deal than i thought, and came with some cool bs and random odds and ends. Anyhow, included was one of those fancy, overpriced Tungsten Guide rods. Thing is still in the package and barely used, if at all; the thing looks brand spankin new. The Original is still in the HG for now, but im not sure if i want to keep that there or install the tungsten one. For now, i have a surefire x300 on there (not ultra, the older model), so its perfectly balanced when loaded. I dont really want to add more weight to the front unless i take off the light (not sure if im going to keep it on), but i want to replace the original plastic crap with something a bit stronger. Any suggestions? Should i sell/trade the tungsten for the stainless one? Will the original plastic one be ok? Is there any real benefit to upgrading other than the fact that it wont snap in half as quickly? I see tons of people saying it helps a ton with recoil and barrel flip and some say its total BS. Let me know what you think! I Already have the thing, so ill probably test it out for myself when i get to a range. We'll see.

Remind me not to stand too close when you're doing your thing. LOL

Meanwhile, here in NJ i empty my wallet before going to work in case i get robbed... SMH

Thanks for the info. Good for shopping around.

You know something funny? Who wants to bet that shooting that arrow is illegal wherever they are? Here in NJ its illegal in most places within a few hundred feet of a residence, unless its a range. I wonder if they broke any laws on top of being stupid.
