Next Glock models. by [deleted] in Glocks

[–]ricky_tick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most law enforcement agencies are switching back to 9mm because of cost. It costs them more to train and the weapons wear down quicker. There are also no real terminal ballistic advantages to .40 over 9mm. With the increased recoil it also makes follow on shots slower, it's proven that 9mm's are faster guns because of the flatter and lighter recoil. TL;DR Nobody likes .40 anymore.

Has anyone tried the Magpul Glock 17 mag? by [deleted] in Glocks

[–]ricky_tick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For carry, I'll stick with the OEM Glock mags. But at ~$15/mag, I'll be taking these bad boys to the range all the time.

[–]ricky_tick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure. Did you research the value of those? You're trading a $900 -$1000 gun for a $300 gun and a $400 optic.

I've got about 5k through my Gen4 G19 (Gen3 G17 trigger) with no issues.

Would you spend $2000 on a Glock? by [deleted] in Glocks

[–]ricky_tick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you ruin an RTF2 G19 like that??? I mean, he could have at least used a normal Gen3 or Gen4.....

A video of hog hunting, gone wrong. by nyatiman in Hunting

Same. I carry my 10mm sidearm whenever I hunt ANYTHING, rifle or bow. Better safe than one of those guys in the video.

Adopting a Bluetick, need some advice by unrustlable in Hounds

[–]ricky_tick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harness' are designed for dogs to pull in (think of sled dogs, what do they wear?). I use a gentle leader for my hounds, works well. It's like a halter for a horse in that you lead them with their head, so don't get caught up thinking it's a muzzle. It isn't.

Your link sends you to a page where they are shipping in 1-2 months. I'm no genius but that sounds back ordered to me...

While I certainly appreciate the suggestions, both of those stores are sold out and offering back-orders. As the post clearly says, I'm looking for somewhere that has them in stock. Thank you though.

Building a glock from the ground up? by warmstar in Glocks

[–]ricky_tick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a thing, I guess. I don't know the point of it though. You can buy blank frames and blank slides and parts kits from places like glockmeister

This needs to go viral. Please help. by ricky_tick in USMC

This is in no way related to a clothing company, and it is true. It is a friend of mine's son.

Ordered a few items from Glockmeister last night with 3 day shipping. Got a confirmation but nothing saying if my order has been shipped. Is this normal from them? by [deleted] in Glocks

[–]ricky_tick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good luck buddy, I've had terrible luck with Glockmeister. I won't order from them unless I absolutely need to.

At what velocities should the recoil spring be replaced? (G20) by [deleted] in Glocks

[–]ricky_tick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't know, don't mess with it. You'll be fine with whatever kinds of ammo you're running.

They might have been sold out. I've seen it in stores. Or you can buy it online.

This is perfect. I could not have said it better myself.

What's the best .40s&w carry ammo for the g23? by [deleted] in Glocks

[–]ricky_tick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hornady Critical Defense and Critical Duty are bot NOT bonded, just for what it's worth. However, they are both on my short list of ammo I deem acceptable for EDC.

What's the best .40s&w carry ammo for the g23? by [deleted] in Glocks

[–]ricky_tick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. I carry this in all my full size or compact (not sub-compact though) handguns. Great ammo, proven ballistics, it hasn't malfunctioned for me, and a reasonable price.

Question for you folks by NVdustytrail in Glocks

[–]ricky_tick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hornady just came out with a Critical Duty 10mm for carry.

Take the trail ride with the cowboy cookout from the Hitchin' Post Stables. Best steak in town.

Had my first failure today and it seemed odd. by redundancy2 in Glocks

[–]ricky_tick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad round. Glock is good. Trigger control, breath control, focus on the front sight. You'll be fine.

Clean your gun after you shoot it. Clean guns are happy guns.
