Glockworx: Warning

[supersonic]

Honestly you are not a very pleasant customer to deal with. I will not go into detail as I believe that would be unprofessional.

As far as not wanting to be unprofessional, per the above you are too late.

If I might be so bold, just bringing that up was unprofessional.

Oooops, guess it was I who was too late. You beat me to it.

And to the guys that aren't getting this, the OP did not say one single bad thing about the guy (quite the contrary, per the first line of the post). The vendor then decided to get personal. Pretty unprofessional if you ask me. And unwarranted. If the vendor had a personal issue with the OP's demeanor, he should have either kept it between the two of them, or to himself. Airing that kind of thing in public is just bad ju-ju.

I can't say anything about who's fault this situation is and I feel bad for all concerned.

But if Glockworx were the guys sharing a booth with Brownells at the Shot Show their display seemed to generate more interest and excitement than most. And I thought the guns on display were hotter and slicker than flaming pig %$#!. I want I want I want. The textured grip in what I think was silicone carbide was fantastic.

Since it sounds reasonable that the slide and trigger technique are at fault I confess I'm going to give Glockworx a try anyway.

The OP did imply in the last line of his post that the gunsmith was not "Good, responsive or trustworthy." That accusation allows the gunsmith to respond and he did.

Regardless, I just call it as I see it, as does everyone else here. "Minority" or not.

all i can say is try getting everything back to stock and just keep it that way, and if you ever want to upgrade those parts again, just DIY and see what those armorers or smith's have to do.

Or try it in the stock slide vs. the LWD slide which may be out of spec.

IMO if you take a stock glock and go with any non-OEM item in it, it is no longer a self defense pistol but a novelty, hobby item-and there is nothing wrong with that. Alot of folks are going to have trouble with that.

I carry a Glock for self defense purposes. It is stock and I run it often. As and armorer, I replace worn parts with new Glock OEM. I don't worry about it. It works each and every time.

I have very good results with a Glockworx trigger on a "fun" gun that I built up. I had to put a bit of time and effort setting it up to work. I would not carry this pistol as a self defense item. I understand the OP post and the smiths post. Non-OEM means you have to put time and effort in it to make it work.

Good luck with it, hope you work it out.

He already did. Read the OP again.

+100% Stock Glocks Rock (as per their original design .......which was (IMO) to be select-fire submachine pistols. All you have to do is look at how a G-18 works internally, and that says it all)

Wow. Unpleasant customer to deal with? Ray, that statement disappoints me. I wasn't attacking you, and I did NOT imply in my last line that you were neither good nor trustworthy like someone inferred in a post. I don't want people to think I'm making waves here, but I reserve my right to warn my fellow firearms enthusiasts about a bad experience I had. Your reputation was a good one, that's why I disregarded similar posts that bashed the Fulcrum trigger.

Am I unpleasant because I was alarmed at receiving a gashed slide and emailed you about it?Because I gave you my case with all of my factory parts and tools, for your convenience? Because you kept my glockmeister allen wrench, and glockworx trigger adjustment wrench and I demanded them back? You sent them so I held no ill will towards you sir.

Why would you say you drove three hours just to meet me Ray? You know you told me in an email that you were going to Pala range for a USPSA shoot and that I could meet you there, where I drove an hour to meet you? I'm puzzled by this. Damage control or what?

Did I ever speak to you in a disrespectful or aggressive manner? Didn't I pay you an extra $65 because I thought your services warranted more money? What good are discounted services if the function is improper? The fulcrum trigger was a brownell's purchase so why would it be any different? Why would it still malfunction with my stock slide? Didn't you troubleshoot it at Gworx with other parts?

[rjeusmc]

I'm puzzled because I led this post with a line about you being a good guy. I don't get it. Your personal attack frustrates me.

In the gun world there are several military friendly gunsmiths and vendors, and I always appreciate their offering discounts. I warn anyone readily accepting these discounts that the work performed can be IN SOME CASES substandard.

I will be refusing any discounts any vendors or gunsmiths offer me in the future, so I know they wont be held against me when I have a quality dispute.

Thank you. Semper Fidelis.

How could you possibly extract that from that post, sir? I bolded those letters so only a gunsmith meeting that criteria would respond.

This post is my own personal account of the matter and an assessment of the parts purchased. I told you all what my endstate was, I wish Mr. Ray Wong and glockworx all the best, as any firearms business in California faces much adversity. I will not continue to do business there, and Mr. Wong, per your statement I will not bother you with any of my issues in the future. That email I sent you after the wrenches were returned will be my last.

Im sorry to threadjack but I am curious, Can the grip slimming modification affect A glock's reliability or is that just a cosmetic modification? I love Glocks the way they are but I got small hands and need smaller grips. Once again, sorry for the threadjack but perhaps user Yar or any person whom knows whats involved in this modification can answer this question. Once again, sorry to threadjack
