First I'd like to say, Ray Wong of Glockworx is a good guy.
Their products however, I have a gripe with. 3 Issues - TRIGGER, FP SAFETY, REFINISHING
I had stippling, refinishing w/ lightening cut window, Ultimate Fulcrum trigger job w/ tuning done to my Glock 23 @ Glockworx.
I bought a slide from lone wolf and had them install Amerigo Operator night sights, which arrived marred and crooked, shame on you LWD. Called them they asked for pictures and really didn't seem to care. I decided I would find someone more reputable.
Enter Glockworx. I called Ray and he agreed to meet me at a range about an hour away from base. The guy has a great demeanor and seemed trustworthy. I have him my gun and he took it back to his shop. Stippling was decent, not exactly what I had asked for, but he gave me more of an expensive package so how could I complain? He offered me a one time discount in recognition of my service and it helped since I was over $1000 into parts and services up to this point.
Trigger - This Fulcrum trigger has issues. It breaks clean, but hesitates on reset. If you exercise any variation of proper follow through, half the time the trigger wont follow your finger back to start, it will stick. I have read similar forums and didn't listen, my bad. $220.00 (Trigger Parts) later I am stuck with an unreliable firearm.
Titanium FP safety - Stupid problem. When I went to install the slide with the new FP safety, the triger bar would hit it and prevent the slide from traveling rearward.. I had to depress the FP safety and shake the pin FWD to allow the slide to be accomodated for assembly. Maybe the LWD slide? Nope. Same issue w/ Factory slide. Glockworx blamed LWD's slides for potentially being out of tolerance, LWD said they are FOS. You decide.
Refinish - I had a top window install and refinish with Glockworx' proprietary Z92 finish which is supposed to be ridiculously hard and resilient. NOT ONLY WAS A GASH IN THE SLIDE WHEN IT ARRIVED... I slid it into a serpa holster and the surface visibly rubbed off! WTF, OVER! HOLSTER WEAR WITH ONE SWIPE. Ray said it could be surface material from the holster. NOPE. DO NOT GET THIS FINISH!
CONCLUSION: Overall I wanted all these issues corrected. The trigger issues and FP safety issues existed before I sent them to GLockworx, and to my suprise existed upon return. I was so excited to receive this gun back, as it was a post-deployment present to myself. I couldn't believe the trigger issues and all that still existed, I think the worst part was I was never called and told the conclusion or findings of the work. I had to call and ask all of the WTF happened questions after receipt of the firearm, that should never be an issue! Ray gave me a good deal on the work, but my endstate is a gun with a bunk trigger, that must be assembled with a chicken dance, and a F'ed up finish. Stippling and top window were good but what the hell can I do with that?
