this is one of the TALO/Lipsey's "limited" runs of Glocks with the FailZero EXO (nickel boron) (http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=35753) coating applied. from what i understand, the barrel is not coated, just polished.

range report later on once i clean it up and get it to the shooting joint. :D

Congrats! It's nice looking. I saw that model on the cover of the Lipsey's catalog and thought "hmmmm". I must resist though but just out of curiosity, do they make that EXO in G26? :)

From my understanding yes... check their listing here:

http://www.lipseys.com/itemdetail.aspx?itemno=GLPI2650201T&items=talo

One minor detail might be that the guns may not fall into the CA roster (for whatever reason). Tim had to do a quick single-shot exemption run to complete the DROS.

If the internet forums aren't lying, rumors are there are only about 500 of each model available from TALO/Lipsey's dealers.

Thanks! Same to you, I'm loving that finish on your 19...didn't really get a good look at it over at VA.

I ended up NOT taking your advice on wiping off the factory lube, hahah. Ended up rushing over to Targetmasters and putting 100 flawless rounds through, I just couldn't help it. I'll definitely get a big safe...going to need a place to store some future ARs planned for this year.

Hope to catch you at Reeds sometime!

haha... well technically, if there was any grease in the barrel, you shot it all out, i guess. :D glad it's working!

despite what people might think, i put the M&P and Glock next to each other in the safe and the universe didn't implode... if any fights break out, the Ruger .22 will regulate.

come exercise your M&P every week with the Monday Shooting League at Reed's :)

oh, and they still have one more G19 EXO in the case at Valkyrie... (Tim ordered two... ;))

oh, were you the two who put that sig sauer in jail? if so congrats on the new toy! :D there were so many people in there last night. haha.

VA originally had the Glock 17 EXO model in the case about a month or two ago... but when I found out the Glock 19s were available, I asked Tim to see if he could order one. since then the G17 has mysteriously been adopted. Tim ordered two G19s, of which one remains it seems! i wonder how long it will last...

Good lookin' G19 you got there! How much are these priced at Valkyrie?

$575 plus DROS/taxation. It appeared that it does require a single-shot exemption to DROS to non-exempt buyers, so VA or other 07 FFLs in Lipsey's dealer network might be our only source in CA.

MSRP is $620 apparently. It's a small premium for the EXO coating, but far less than you'd pay for your own 3rd party coating, I believe. However, last I checked, FailZero no longer will accept private firearms for coating since they cannot handle the small-order volume. Of course, you could go with Robar NP3 or other vendors.

According to the FailZero gunsmith, the barrels are coated, even though it might not look like it (the shade of the finish is slightly different from the slide). Their prototype unit from a couple years back has apparently survived several thousand rounds of fire thus far.

Your EXO reminds me of the two toned G21SF that I sold a while back. Had a refinished slide but the barrel was stock. Ahh..the memories :thumbsup:

I have no idea. Got it out of a trade from another CalGunner. From what I can remember he had the slide sent out to a gunsmith from out of state. I ended up selling it because I didnt like the ambi mag release that it had. I now have another G21SF with a standard mag release. Im now happy as can be, but I wish it had a refinished slide like the old one I had :(

Nice pick up. I sent the link for this thread over to buddy. He's been looking for a G19. He immediately called Valkryie and their already sold out of them. Just his luck.

wow, that second glock lasted almost exactly 10 days in the display case then. :D

did he ask Tim to attempt to request another one from his distributor? he was able to get two of them last time. one for me and one for some other lucky unnamed soul.

Exo Glocks are out of stock everywhere. I am looking for one right now.

the rumors might be true then... ~500 of each model were run (might be the quantity/capacity of one run at FailZero).

any dealer on the Lipsey's network can request the TALO exclusives, apparently, but i'm not positive if these need to be single-shot exempted by an 07 FFL to be sold to non-exempt customers.

the other angle might be to contact FailZero directly and/or post in their thread (http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=67331) and express interest -- they said they may do more runs in the future if demand is there and if OEMs cooperate.

good luck!

Apparently the Glock 22's are available already... I'm waiting for VA to get a Glock 23 for me as a... um... spare.
