[Grantd]

I have mine, first impressions very clean. Feels comfortable and pointable. Seems well made but time will tell.

Wont get to zero it until Thursday probably.

Ghost, where’s your Glock up to?

Glock was finished about a month ago. Looks amazing. But..... it’s not going to be a production run gun. After a few thousand rounds of testing in different formats the .22 slide / set up just isn’t reliable enough for the application I want it for.

The primary use for the gun was going to be for practical comps, used and abused. It will be a great plinker and look good but that’s no good to me on a competition line.

I may still get it shipped, but for now I’ve commissioned a new project with a much better base gun to start with, far more accurate, fixed barrel,

Also kicked off my LBR build as well so they should both arrive at the same time.

So with all the build up, no pics, no review... bit of a shame.

We’ve had a bit of an informal “rule” on the forum, since it’s inception, or shortly after. “No pics, no gun. It didn’t happen”...

Let me check if I’m ok to post a pic of it as a complete LBP.

This all sounds very strange .

A fair bit of money must have been spent , and the logic of getting the Glock (or non-glock) cerakoted before its fully test fired just defeats me .

I wonder who paid for all the building and testing ?

And the parentage of the new base gun will once again come into question .

[Gh0st]

What it sounds strange a company builds a product, test fits and fires it before deciding whether its fit for purpose within the original design remit.

It’s not like glock’s Are expensive in the USA to buy. All its cost is some basic materials a gun smiths time. Like i said it may well be marketed this side of the pond, but the remit was to be reliable so it can be used for comps over here.

So in answer to your question, the company paid for the building and testing.

Why would the parentage come into question? You don’t know what it is?. But in the interests of those reading. It’s a .22 pistol from factory.

Like i said ill see if he minds me posting a pic of the complete glock and if so ill post it here.

Thats a shame, what was causing the issues?

Was it failing to feed etc?

Just consistency, mostly when the extra weight of the trijicon mounted to the back. Just wasn’t running perfect.
