General Discussion / Beware WGS white box 9mm hollow point
« on: March 16, 2021, 07:32:57 AM »
WGS has been selling a unmarked white box of 9mm hollow points for about $35.00/50rds. I recently was told that these are reloads from their shop. Just a heads up, i was checking some of the rounds in my case gauge and a few of them were not resized properly. Does this affect performance. I guess only if it doesn't fit.

General Discussion / HGS transfer policy, fair/unfair, friend or foe?
« on: January 14, 2021, 08:01:28 AM »
Is anyone aware of the HGS firearm policy that basically states.

1.Two months after purchasing a firearm if you don't have the gun transferred to you they will start charging a percentage of the price of the gun
2. Each subsequent month that passes by another percentage is charged
3. If the penalty reaches the value of the gun they will reclaim ownership of the gun to resell.

I'm just curious how every feels about this policy given the current climate of gun registration and how hard it is to get appointments. I understand that, shops don't want to hold your guns for an extended period of time but at the same time, its not like you are leaving your junk there. How do you all feel about it?

Please refer below to the vendors page under ROOKWORX. His work is top notch. On par with the top polymer fabricators in the industry boresight, SSVi, works armament.

I just wanted to share a review of a stipple job done by my buddy J.A.D. He did a custom job on my XD which came out great. I really like the pattern that he puts because its not too aggressive but its just enough for a secure and permanent grip. The pattern also really looks great. The stipple job is all custom and he will work with you to put the grip enhancement where you need it and none where you dont. He also does magwell fill ins and magwell  cutouts,  de horning, opening the mag release area for a more positive extraction (either circle or teardrop), finger groove removal/dehorn, trigger guard customization for glocks, xd, kahr, etc. Definitely a worthwile investment for a gun that you train with and plan to stake your life on. Pm me for his info if your interested.

I owned 1 Glock since around the 1994 time frame and didn't own any others until about 3-4 years ago.  As a long time 1911 guy I really hated it and it took a long time before I accepted the pistol but I couldn't ignore the fact that it dominated in certain categories and was huge in the shooting world in general.  Besides the feel of polymer vs steel the thing I hated the grip angle.  However I stuck with shooting the pistol and noted that my times given speed and accuracy were amazing.  The amount of control I had over the pistol with the minimal amount of recoil was puzzling at first.  Reviewing video I noted that my support wrist being canted at a greater angle was more aggressively locked out and that provided more control.  It definitely took a bit of re-learning a new natural point of aim, but the results I saw on timed drills was clear.  Now IMO the angle is what really benefits the Glock pistol when a good aggressive thumbs forward technique is used. 

On the other hand the Grip Force adapter does indeed help with reducing the angle bringing more into what most Americans are used to.  Grip reductions on the backstrap also provide this same effect.  I do not generally advise people to do their own DIY fill and sand jobs as those are the ones that fail the most.  Improper prep, technique and use of correct filler often causes it to break loose over time.  This is also were you can get into frame integrity issues discussed above.  In general I prefer to use a heat and roll method to reduce the hump on the backstrap.  Keeps the pistol frame solid.

A couple of my personal pistols.  Texture design is a matter of taste and texture can go from mild to aggressive.
Gen4 G17



Gen4 G19 set up in a carry configuration so only the front strap is textured after finger groove removal. 


Awesome stipple pattern. How did you achieve that?

Yeah I've been aware of companies like Bowie tac etc for quite some time. I'n fact a longstanding glock gripe has been the grip angle and the finger grooves. I've considered doing the "fill the blackstrap with putty mod " and grind the blackstrap for a more neutral wrist angle such as that on the 1911 but it's a helluva mod to undertake. There is a beaver tail attachment that claims to change the grip angle as mentioned in the video you posted. I'd like to try that out. Don't get me wrong I'm not bothered by the stock angle but a more natural point of aim would be nice.
I wonder if the polymer  material will take to front strap checkering like the 1911 once the fringer grooves are grinded down.

This is a common misunderstanding.  The frame integrity suffers when people get extreme with chopping grips or removal of material.  Surface stippling done correct will have no noticeable adverse effects over the life of the weapon.

what is your personal view on stippling?

They do but some are better than others i.e the gen 2 glocks are not as aggressive to begin with and tend to get smoother over the years. That combined with the fact that I have extremely sweaty hands makes the plastic grip extremely slippery in my hands. Hey for all purposes I could run the gun as is and it would be fine. But for a modification that could help, and definitely could not hurt id be interested. I get what your saying though, just trying to get some opinions on it.

What are you guys views on stippling a polymer framed gun. glock,xd,etc.

I really like the small dot stippling, not so much a fan of the rip your skin, kind of stippling.
