Maybe me was zeroed perfectly with the rear sight very far right.

And none of the weapons affected have ever been used in a mass shooting or probably any shooting.

It is a baseplate issue, nothing more. Swap the Gen 5 baseplate for a previous generation and it is no problem. Or you could just cut off the lip at the front of the grip and be able to use everything.

If anyone wants to run this gun, come get it. I have no problem letting someone else pay for the break in, like Glocks need a break in.

This one uses a different type of coating, who knows it might be better or might be worse. I will start EDC sometime this week.

I recently bought a 19X and the rear sight was a little farther off to one side than I like. It zeroed fine but that is a pet peeve of mine so I sold it. Went back to the store and inspected every single 19X they had and found one that is about perfect. I have yet to shoot the second one but it should be no different than the first one and be amazingly reliable, it is a Glock, as well as surprisingly accurate. I will say I have not been a fan of Glocks despite carrying them for work and every day carry. But with that being said I really like this one. For those that don't know the 19X was Glock's submission to the military service pistol program. The only difference is the submitted version had a manual safety and the civilian version doesn't, which I like. But beyond that it is identical to the gun submitted to the military for trials. Even though the 19X is a generation 5 gun it does have some slight differences from other generation 5 Glocks. What makes the 19X different than any other Glock is it has a 19 length slide on a full size, 17 frame. I hear of people saying Glock should have went with a longer slide and a shorter frame and that this is the worst gun ever but I think it is great, especially for a EDC. The shorter grip frame of the 19, as well as the compacts, do not allow for a full grip and without a good grip accuracy suffers. Another problem with the more compact guns is the magazine capacity. I know you can use a full size magazine with the compacts but if you are going to use a full size magazine why not have the full size grip to go along with it. I hear people saying it is not concealable but I beg to differ because most people are oblivious to their surroundings. If they are going to notice the grip of a full size pistol they are going to notice the grip of a compact but 99% of the people will have no clue a person is carrying a full size pistol. The slide being shorter has some benefits. Me, like most people, spend a lot of time sitting each day. And with a longer slide that can get uncomfortable as the gun is pushed up. With the shorter slide it is a lot less of a problem. The 19X is a perfect gun for those who spend most of their day sitting without giving up magazine capacity. People are screaming the 19X has a short sight radius, these are the same people carrying the super compact Glocks that have an even shorter sight radius. One difference I noticed from other generation 5 Glocks was that the front of the grip extends down to act as sort of a magazine protector. Standard Glocks have a cut out so a person can drag the magazine out easily if it doesn't drop free, the 19X does not have the cut out and instead has that extension to the grip. I like it because it gives you more grip. The 19X also has a maritime spring cup which helps it fire after being submerged in water. It comes from the factory with tritium sights that are bright and easy to see. It also comes with a lanyard loop but it is easily removed like any grip plug. The generation 5 Glocks have an ambidextrous slide release, 19X included. I am not a lefty but I like the idea of an ambidextrous slide release. The one thing that the ambidextrous release does that I do not like is it exposes the internals to crud unlike previous versions. Probably not a big deal but you can look in and see the trigger bar moving. The genreation 5 Glocks also have replaceable backstraps. I currently use the largest backstrap with a beavertail. I do not have large hands but with the large backstrap it feels better, and shoots better, in my hands. It, like most generation 5 Glocks, seem to shoot better than any other generation of Glock I have ever shot. I have used and shot every generation except the first generation pistols and they have shot well enough but this thing surprised me with the accuracy. Touching holes at 7 yards was simple. Glock is bragging about their new "Marksman Barrel" and it is unlike any other Glock barrel because they are not polygonal anymore. The newest generation Glocks also have an integrated magazine well to help with magazine changes. I feel the 19X is a great deal in Glocks. It is $600 but it has tritium sights that are easy to see and seem brighter than most tritium sights I have seen. It comes with three standard G17 magazines in FDE, two of the magazines have +2 extensions raising their capacity. The one thing I HATE about the gun is the color. If it had been black it would have been a home run but instead it has a FDE grip and a burnt bronze/baby poop colored slide. One thing most people are not going to like about the generation 5 Glock is no parts, other than magazines, will swap with the previous generations. The barrels are different and the slides will not interchange. Not sure about trigger parts though. Speaking of magazines the 19X will use previous version magazines but will NOT work with other generation 5 magazines because of the base plates. Swap base plates and any magazine work. Another option is to remove the grip extension on the front of the grip. This is Glock's version of a "commander" pistol.

I have owned at least four different Witness models and they are solid guns for the price. My wife picked up a pink Witness compact at Rural King for $279, an amazing price for the gun. I have a CZ P09 that sits in the safe because there is something I just don't like about it. It is a great gun but it just doesn't get me exited. I bought it as a silencer host but don't even use it for that.

Then go with a carbine length gas system. Beyond that it is just like any 5.56 rifle.

I had no idea you buried your brother. My intent was to help, not inflame.

Here is a web based chat room I started. Lets see how it is going to work out. Does not require registration but you can register if you want. http://www.e-chat.co/room/263749 This is not affiliated with TGO but is a place for TGO members to come and chat live with other members.

And how many of us are going to be felons now? Loose our gun rights? Loose the ability to vote?

Ruger isn't owned by a conglomerate set on destroying the gun industry either.

Are you planning on running subsonic loads at all? If so get a pistol length gas system and an adjustable gas block. If you are going to only run supersonic ammunition then get a barrele with a carbine length gas system. Subsonic loads will work with a carbine length gas system with a silencer but may not work without one. Beyond that standard BCG, buffer and spring should work.

I think the one he is talking about doesn’t have a front sight.

I handled one yesterday at a local shop, those Ruger ARs are VERY nice for the money.

It costs $27 to ship a long gun from one of the state to the other. It can be shipped through the post office. No need to go through an FFL either. That is a damn good price on that gun. And for as little as you are probably going to shoot it the cost to shoot it won't be bad either. It isn't as plentiful or as cheap as 5.56 but 300 Blackout is a better caliber caliber than 5.56 for what you have planned. And if you reload I will make you a ton of brass to get you started if you want. Everyone should at least own one AR. A DPMS would work for what your plans are and they can be had for under $500. If you need ANY help I am here to help.

You can build a rifle better than anything you might buy for a lot less. My barrel, which is the most expensive part, was $200, the bolt is $100, upper was $75, hand guard was $50, gas block $50, charging handle $25 and gas tube was $15. That is a little over $500 for a HIGH quality upper. Couple that with a basic PSA lower and you will be into the gun for under $700 and have a gun that is as good as any $1,000 gun you might buy. When buying a complete gun you are getting what THEY want to sell and often times you spend another $200-$300 to change it to fit YOU. When building it you can build it how you want it and save money. I can guarantee you have all the tools needed to build an AR and if you need a tool I can send you what you need.

I do not like 7 twist guns unless they are going to be shooting HEAVY bullets. 8 or 9 twist is my preferred twist. An 8 twist will shoot any weight bullet that will feed from a magazine. I would get a lightweight barrel as well. They shoot as well as standard or heavy weight barrels as long as they are decent barrels. 16"-18" is the barrel length I would use. You can buy 18" barrels that are lighter than most 1 6" barrels. That 2" extends the range as well as gives you the option of a longer gas system. If you decide on a 16" barrel go with a mid length gas system. With 18" barrel use a rifle length gas system. Use a CLAMP on adjustable gas block to tune the gun. No need to go longer or shorter. Those has system lengths minimize wear, felt recoil as well as gas in the face. If recoil and quick follow up shots are important use a muzzle brake. If shooting at night or low light are a possibility use a flash hider. Do not use a muzzle brake/flash hider combo Because they do not do either very well. Because most uppers are now 7 twist you might have to build your own or have it built. I would suggest a 12" m-lok free float hand guard. That will give you plenty of room for customization. For the lower just but a complete lower from a place like PSA. Triggers are easy to replace if your decide you want to upgrade, the rest should work well or is easily replaced. I am building my PERFECT AR for exactly the same reason you are. It is an 8 twist, 18" SS fluted, lightweight barrel from Green Mountain with a rifle length has system. It uses a CLAMP on adjustable has block that will let me tune it for a suppressor. It uses a 16.5" slim free float rail, ambi charging handle with a lightweight BCG from Brownells. It will use a 6" silencer instead of a flash hider. It has a forward assist and a dust cover. The lower will be an Anderson with a carbine buffer tube. I will do my own trigger at 3 pounds. It uses an ambi magazine release, extended bolt release and a Luth AR precision buttstock. Anni safety. Fingered pistol grip. It uses a flatware recoil spring with a buffer system I am building to reduce weight, reduce cycling speed and reduce felt recoil. Right now it looks like it will weight 6.5 pounds without an optic. I also have a 5 pound 20" AT that I built a few years ago. I have not decided on an optic yet but max magnification will be 6x. It will also use a micro red dot.

Planned use? There are a lot of things to consider based on intended use.

Pretty sure you have my number, give me a call sometime.

Nothing wrong with going lower as long it isn't so low you have a squib. You could even go a lot lower than 42 without issue. I don't think it would be a problem to start out lower than 42 and load a couple of each increasing a grain at a time up to 42 then shoot them until you get a load that cycles then work up from there. Worst thing that might happen is the gun will not cycle which is better than ruining the brass or the gun. Sounds like the brass should last a long time if the case walls are that thick. Seems to be a lot of variation of the MEN brass. I see some are reporting it is berdan primed while others say it is boxer.

I am looking for some exploding targets. There are a lot of people selling so I figured I would be lazy and ask. Prefer rimfire sensitive but they are generally more expensive.

True but the left has far more scandals than the right.
