I went back to the darkside...

Postby PHATSPEED7x on Thu Apr 10, 2014 6:25 pm

Gave into the darkside today...

Talo Edition Glock 19 Gen3... Local dealer had these in stock, and after holding it I knew I wanted a G19 again. I owned one back in 2011, and regretted getting rid of it. They gave me a fair trade in price on my M&P9 fullsize. Also was able to get a Blackhawk leather holster for it too...

Image

I brought it home, and cleaned it up. Loaded a magazine with 15 rounds of Hornady 147gr hollow point, and fired 15 dead center hits on the steel ringer at 30 yards.

I only got 2 BTTF... It's running the 336 ejector on it, and was mfg OCT 2013.

I was able to fix the problem by replacing the problem part. Bought a Walther PPQ to replace it

I really do like those sights. I am glad those come as an option when purchasing it new.

Does the front site glow? I like the red. I have Mepro night sites on my 17 and the Truglo TFO (green front and yellow rear) on 26 and combo on my 17

It's just a fiber optic sight. But still really good sight picture.

Brass To The Forehead

I gotta remember that one. But seems like it would work better as a more generic 'Brass to the face'. Which I got last weekend when I was dumb enough to stand behind my friend when he fired the first shot of the M1 Garand he just got. 30-06 is not a fun one to get hit with.

Ordered 4 more magazines for a total of 6 Glock brand G19 15rd magazines. Got my first one tonight in the mail, and it's a Gen4 Glock brand magazine! The second one shipped out today, and I ordered two more tonight since they were still on sale for only $21.24 each.
