Some guys just have to learn everything the hard way. As a good friend of mine likes to say " What can we do to make this harder?"Foolproof and very long term proven reliability.
How many threads do you see on the internet about 100% stock Glocks having issues?
How many threads do you see about clones having issues?
Leave it to people like (a certain member here that starts with A) for that stuff. They buy the cheapest thing then spend months trying to figure out why such and such won't work right or they bought cheap so they could add "upgrades". It's silly to me. Proven reliability that is designed to work without issues long term, why mess with it.
General Troubleshooting Striker Fired Pistol Problems.
It looks like the problem source is the Dagger frame. I tried different combinations of parts, mags and ammo on the Dagger frame and all gave me problems. I then tried the various parts on a factory Gen 4 Gen 23 frame (with 40cal ejector left place) and did not have the problems.www.northwestfirearms.com
You are comparing the new 10mm rounds or 40sw short loads as we like to call them. That is not the ammo the 10mm was designed to shoot. What you have is what they came up with after the FBI complained about excessive recoil as well as the Colt Delta Elite cracking frames.
Ah I didn't know about the cracked frames, thx! For me I was thinking if I were to just buy the usual federal range ammo (I don't use for bear defense and unknown if I would use for personal defense) how would they compare.
40 is best described as snappy compared to the 9mm, and 45 is described as a push. 40 is definitely manageable and fun.
10mm range ammo is generally the same power/performance as 40S&W.
This, is why I started this thread. Other than the warranty and name brand reputation there otherwise isnt a performance difference.
A lot. I don't get it honestly. The amount that they spend will get you a Langdon Beretta.
seif 'modified' , 'moving away' from the factory conception of reliability. Bling upper slides, trigger group speed parts. Premeditatedly, that is one thing that I have never played. My bland Glock and G-clones all run with boring reliability.
My impression is a lot too.
I mean don't get me wrong, I blow a lot on what many probably consider excessive.
I got a Glock that has $1700 alone in just the slide/optic/comp and barrel. That doesn't include the frame etc.
Nothing wrong with that. Life is too short not to enjoy it when you can.I mean don't get me wrong, I blow a lot on what many probably consider excessive.
I will say this, piggy backing onto my reply as a CJTC instructor. The Dagger impressed me. A few of the guards at quals. had them and they ran flawlessly, when I shot the course with one to check it out, I was impressed to say the leste.
In my opinion the Glock 17 is the ideal handgun with a few modifications. I prefer to use only OEM parts myself. The only parts I change are I swap the magazine to be functional for a left handed shooter as I am left handed. I also install an OEM Glock Slide Release like the ones found on a Glock 34. I put in a Pierce grip plug as I like the look of it better and in my experience a lot of crap goes into that channel. Its not a big deal but in the end I also like the look of it better so that makes a difference. And the last change I make is of course the sights. I like my TFX Pro Night Sights. I trust the design and feel it does exactly what I am requiring of it. It is combat accurate, carries a lot of ammo, easy to use, and lastly is reliable in spartan conditions and has been proven so by folks who are far more qualified than myself.
