Glock Locking Block Pin
lol it's not that I care about how it looks! I just figured for it to peel after 150 rounds perhaps something was wrong, or something hitting it that shouldn't be.

Glock Locking Block Pin
After one trip to the range I noticed what appears to be the coating or film on the locking block pin peeling off. When I take the slide off and look at the pin, I can see silver and there is a small piece of the black on the pin hanging off. I was under the impression these pins were plastic but this makes it seem it is some type of metal with a black finish on it. Not quite sure why this would happen but I am looking to replace it and hope it doesn't happen again. The Glock factory parts on glock store.com are in fact manufactured by Glock, correct? I know there are some aftermarket pun kits on the site but ideally looking to keep this stock and factory.

Range Review: Glock 27 Gen 4
Hello all, I thought I would share my experience with my recent range trip trying out my new Glock 27 Gen 4. I was torn for a while between purchasing this firearm or a Heckler & Koch P2000sk also in .40. I decided to go with the Glock for a few reasons: Price Size (H&K being longer on the grip making the Glock easier to conceal) Previous experience with Glock Barrel size (H&K having a shorter barrel, felt the little bit longer of the Glock may help with recoil of the .40) Parts and availability I went to the range with 3 magazines, 2 with the added Pearce grip extension and 1 stock. I brought a box of 165 gr, 170 gr, and 180 gr. This was my first time not only shooting this gun but also shooting a .40 in general. From a lot of what I have read online, I was expecting to feel a very "snappy" uncomfortable shoot with this little gun. I first shot 50 rounds of 115 gr 9mm through my G19 to be able to compare to the .40. I then started with a few mags of 165 and worked my way up to 180 and then back down to 165. I can sure say that the snappiness and recoil was no where near as harsh as I expected. Suprisingly I was almost as accurate at 5-7 yards out as I was with my G19. I say almost because my grouping was not quite where I would like it when I started letting off more rapid shots. I was concerned with using the regular stock 9 round mags as I was not a huge fan of having my pinky completely dangle off the gun, this is why I put the Pearce extensions on 2 of the 3 magazines. While the extensions sure do make it more comfortable, I shot the regular magazine just as well as I did the others. As far as ammo goes, I did like the 165 gr. the best and think I will stick to purchasing that over the others. All ammo shot was bargain target quality ammo and it all fed with no issues. The gun performed well, as expected, and I did enjoy shooting it despite being a subcompact and being a .40. While the recoil and snappiness was surprisingly manageable and less noticeable as I had gone in expecting, I did shoot another 50 rounds of 115 gr. 9mm through my G19 at the end and it felt like butter it was so smooth and easy. So the .40 characteristics that many people don't enjoy were more so noticeable to me when going from the .40 back down to a 9mm. Overall I am happy with my purchase and will make this gun my one of my carry guns after about another 500 rounds or so. Hope this review helps anyone who may be on the fence about a .40, a subcompact, or both. However, these are just my thoughts and to each their own. Enjoy!

Federal Guard Dog
Anyone know an online retailer that has the guard dogs in stock and will ship to nj? Just tried through bass pro but got an email that order was canceled due to restricted address.

Federal Guard Dog
What is the difference between the Hornady critical defense and the critical duty? And will these essentially be viewed as hollow points in the event you ever have to show in court for anything? It is more or less a HP just with a piece of plastic in the middle. Employee at the shop today was talking up the ruger art rounds. I am not too familiar on the pros and cons to these types of bullets, anyone here enjoy them? i am looking for a better defense Roy d for my home defense firearm and also in a carry firearm.

All Glock?
I know that wear and tear on the slide is common especially if holstering the gun often, but does anyone else find them selves bothered when the frame of a polymer framed gun gets damaged? I had this little dent/Nick that is on the frame of my g19 since I purchased (didn't noticed while I was in the store) and for some reason it drives me nuts!

Too large for wallet FID
Laminated and then trimmed the sides and rounded off the corners. Fits fine now. Carry it at all times in case I ever decide to stop into a shop on my way home to feel out some guns and the counter guy asks for proof of FID just to browse.

12 gauge range ammo
I shoot at RTSP, indoor range, and they only allow slugs. I usually buy whatever is on sale and cheap for that purpose. 1oz slugs

Is it fairly common sense that most people who ccw do have ccw insurance?

All Glock?
Anyone on here have a gun collection/lineup that is all Glock, only Glock, and nothing but the Glock? Just wondering how many people fall into that category. I read on some other forums that some people have decided to sell everything else and just keep an all Glock stash.

Heckler & Koch
I love the p30sk, problem for me is it doesn't not come in .40. I'd wait for the vp40 but I am looking more for the size of the sk and also permits will be here any day so don't know if I'll have them available by the time the new line comes out. But thanks for the input.

I no longer use the Rahway location either. Unfortunately being new into guns I bought my first few there since it is my local shop and I didn't know any better. Everyone in there has an attitude and they all make you feel like your wasting their time. You ask some questions, ask to see a gun, ask for prices - they all make you feel like shit about it. Except the young kid there Sean, he is cool. Their prices suck. I just recently stopped by there just to handle a gun before I order it elsewhere and they had one there USED and were asking more for it then what RTSP has it for NEW. I bought 3 guns there over the span of 5 months a little while back, tried to sell the, a different one and they beyond low balled me. I know going to an FFL to sell is never a slam dunk but when I say they tried to rip me off they really did. And would not budge a penny. Took it to RTSP got over $100 more.

So I see it passed assembly today. Does that mean it's official or does it still have other channels to go through?

Heckler & Koch
I am looking into a P2000sk in .40 as my next purchase. I like the size and ergonomics of this gun and plan on having it as an alternate carry piece to my G19. I really like the P30sk but I do not need another 9mm handgun. I am new to H&K but wish I looked more into them a while ago, as I really like the feel of their guns and the overall craftsmanship. After the P2000sk I plan to buy a new 45 home defense gun and just started looking into what H&K has to offer in that chamber. Currently looking at a G21 or Sig P227. Anyone here have expereince with any of H&Ks 45's? If so, please share you reviews. Also feedback on the P2000sk would be useful too. Thank you!

Change of address - permits
I know that when you move you need to get a new FID cad to reflect your new address. What about pistol permits and COE's on guns bought while at the old address, do they now need the new address on them?

CCW Equipment
As I look to expand on my non-resident CCWs, I have began accumulating my gear. Right now the gun of choice is a G19 gen 4. I find Ozarks Holster Company to be of great quality, even over some of the popular ones mentioned here in this thread. I do a right handed IWB and a 15 degree cant. What I like most about his work is he gets rid of all the excess kydex around the edges and there are no squared off or pointed edges on the holster. They fit gun perfect and hold it well in place. I also have a 1.5 inch 5.11 instructors belt. Highly recommend Ozarks holsters, only downside is the wait time as they are made to order.

Supplements
Try yohimbine. Same positive results as yohimbe (energy, fat loss, erection strength) without the nasty sides (jittery, anxiety, cold sweats, sleep loss). Low dose it too at about 2.5 - 5mg a day. It's a very heavy stim so will exhaust your adrenal glands pretty quickly so sticking to 2 weeks on 1 week off certainly helps. Dose in the am or pre workout but not too late or it will affect your sleep.
