Sorry wolf

Thats a good looking glock I like the two tone with grey because the colors are too diiferent. The FDE two tone just doesn't look like it should be together. The OD green isn't too bad.

I love my G34.
(And 26, and 17)
But I need to get a 19 for good measure.

Mrs308 likes the contrasting colors too....

Fortunate man. I salute you...

Nice pistol! Is there a functional reason for the slide cutouts?

Less weight, you can also put in a barrel that is ported.

I polished all of the internals and got her ready for break-in tomorrow...woohoo!

So your Glock wasn't perfect out of the box but needed additional work? Heaven forbid!

The weight reduction from that slide cut-out is the ONLY thing keeping Mrs.308's stretchy pants from falling down.

We all have room for improvement

I did this to my 19 after nearly two years, today. A little time consuming, but now a mirror shine.
The "Mothers Mag Polish" and q-tips worked good. Figured while I was at it, to polish the firing pin shaft. Polishing friction points helps smooth the action.

I don't know if my time was worth it, because I dry-fire (before firing) them about 3000 times to break them in. They sure are purty tho

 

[308]

I have a small bench grinder with a polishing wheel that works for pretty good. Makes a nice mirror shine and even the Militec-1 beads up afterwards

I have the necessities for polishing stainless to absolute mirror. Problem with that is, it's not made for tiny parts. Jewelers Rouge works real nice also. I've a few others I'll probably do now, but there are more efficient ways. Similar to a rock tumbler that I may try.

What about using a dremel?

 

[308]

Dremel works, but I had a hard time getting the buffer pad to last long enough to put some heat into the metal.

 

[2A2Dend]

When you burn that buffing head up, try wrapping heavy cotton string around it. Tie it the same method as wrapping eyes on a fishing pole. You be surprised how well it works.
Another method, cleaning pads (swabs) stacked on the "cut-off" wheel, shank for a dremel. Any thickness you want, basically. Cheap too.

Did you happen to see a G34 MOS or a G40 at keiths when you were there? I'm looking for either one. Still can't decide on which.

The MOS was about $60 more if I remember correctly and only available in all black, so I chose the G34

 

[clearconscience]

Those MOS models are sweet. I've been wanting to do a slide melt, but just can't bring myself to pay that kinda cash for something I may not use.
