new glock

[Xdis4ME]

what gun shop did you buy it from?

J&G gunsmithing!! In granite bay it used to be in old roseville!!! I went to wild sports and the gun room and a couple others small new and used shops, but like i said I only saw three in G22!! At each shop they said that they didnt know when they were getting more in!! J&G had them back ordered since dec and just got them a week ago!!

If you want you can start with the NY trigger it is lighter then CA version.

Stay away from the NY trigger, the thing is heavier than the standard Glock trigger, the heaviest you can have installed. Makes the trigger pull feel grainy too, enjoy the 5.5 lbs of pull versus the 7.75 lbs of the NY or the 12lbs of the NY plus.

^^^^ Is that for the KB factor that i've been hearing about!!! And do you think its something to do first or after the stock barrel is showing ware and tare?? Thanks for all the input guys!!!

The KB you "hear" about on the net is due to a bad cartridge load.

I don't care what barrel you have in you Glock, if you double charge a load and attempt to shoot it, it will go kaboom. No ifs ands or butts about it.

The early models of the 40S&W from Glock had issues with the locking block and feed ramps. These problems have been well worked out for many years by Glock.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your weapon. The factory trigger, barrel and other parts all work exactly as they should.

The only thing you need to "ADD" to your Glock is YOU and some RANGE TIME. Spend the money you woudl put into a barrel, trigger, night sights, etc... on proper training.

There is nothing more important than the abilty to get on target quickly and to be accurate under pressure.

If all you intend on doing with this weapon is to stand still in a stall and punch holes in some paper, then by all means buy all the gizmo's you want.

If you want to learn how to be effective with that weapon leave it stock and invest in yourself with proper training.

You don't need crap.

Glock has essentially worked out all the issues pertaining to unsupported barrels, etc.

If you want night sights, go for it.

Otherwise, leave the weapon completely stock for a 100% reliable firearm. When you start monkeying around with the internal parts adding this and that wizbang the weapon will most likely fail on you.

Congrats on your new Glock.

How so?

I just fit a Barsto to a friend's new G23, and there's no difference between the older barrel throats I've seen, and the one that I replaced.

These are pics of G21 and G30 barrels, you get the idea:

Wow, cool! For some odd reason I thought you could not have those here.

[Greg-Dawg]

Anybody got ideas on some upgrades or parts to get??

Doesn't need any, invest in some self defense handgun training.

[Mr. Meeseeks]

Try not to mess with it much 'till you shoot it and figure out really what you plan on using it for.

However if you must, maybe just better sights and a plug (but even this may cause debate). I like the plug just because I feel it helps with magazine insertion. Also lots of mags never hurt. YMMV

+1 on all the above, esp. wrt KBs and the value of range time and training, but with the exception of sights --
It's a personal thing, but I found the goal-post rear sight a distraction and new I'd ultimately want night sights, so immediately went to Trijicons (3-dot). Couldn't be happier.

Enjoy and be safe!

Good thing about Glocks, parts are cheap and plentiful.

I'll echo the "go shoot it" comments, but look into 3.5# connectors as well. They're a couple bucks, factory Glock connectors are really cheap as well. It'll help lighten up your trigger about a lb. or so, and it'll make you intimately familiar with your new pistol.

3.5 connector,stainless steel guide rod,and polish the internals of the trigger group.

Shhhh! I wanted to see someone actually do it

It is a brand new Glock, like others have said as well. Add Night Sight, and ammo and shoot the holy hell out of it. Have fun with your new Glock 22 OP,

I usually don't make changes until after I've put about 1000 rounds through a gun. No point in fixin what ain't broke

[DMCA]

I'm not really worried about how much i paid!! Their hard to get right now and are on back order. I looked around at my local gun shops and only found three all the same price 579.00 and two were a lil older so i went for the newest one! So out the door with fees it was 650!! Plus i went to a little gun show in my town and people were selling used ones for 525-600 with nothing special about them. So I paid a lil more and I get to be the first to put rounds thru it!!! I know the test fire it but you know what i mean!! Now ammo is my only problem!!!

You shouldn't be. Some people will like to tell you they could have bought it for $185 with a 5 year supply of ammo....

You'll likely have it a long time and with the supply and demand situation, it's more or less the going rate.

I would recommend the extended slide release. It is much easier to maniupulate the slide, but doesn't extend much. It is only a few dollars and definitely worth it. I had it done a couple of years ago at the Costa Mesa Gun Show by the Glock Doctor and he installed it for free. I haven't been to the Costa Mesa Show since early last year, so I don't know if the Glock Doctor still attends.

Guns are the new gold.

Ya crazy... My first gun was a glock 23 that i purchased about 6 years ago for $395...
