Re: Brand Spankin\' New Glock 19
[ QUOTE ]
Can someone tell me what the laws regarding guns are in the US? Can you just go buy a gun, or do you need a permit/licence first? Do you have to go through any training to be allowed to own one? Are there rules to state how you store it and where (ie. in a gun safe or something), or can you have them laying around wherever or in your car? edit: and for the guys who carry them around concealed, what do you have to do that have that privaledge? And do you actually carry it around everywhere you go? [/ QUOTE ] The short answer is that it all depends on your state and county. When I lived in NH, I was able to walk into a gun store, give them my drivers lisence and walk out 20 minutes later with a gun. I went to the police, filled out a form, paid $25 and got a license to carry it in my underwear. Then I moved to Boston where I am not even legally allowed to own a gun without going through a process that takes several MONTHS just to store it in my house. |

I've tried several kinds and my 29 does not like hollow points. It jams. For that reason, I'm using wadcutters. [/ QUOTE ] While I have no experience with the G29, I have a ton of experience with othe Glocks and with shooting in general. If your Glock is not feeding hollowpoints, you either have a defective magazine spring, or you fail to maintain a proper firing grip during operation of the slide. Glocks digest all ammunition. What specific malfunction are you having, double feed, stovepipe, etc? |

It just doesn't chamber the round. I'm not really concerned about it. It fires ball ammo or wadcutters just fine. |

Re: Brand Spankin\' New Glock 19
So the slide fails to return to battery? This sounds like an operator malfunction, namely having a weak firing grip that allows the pistol to slop around during recoil and not have a firm platform against which to cycle. My instructors at Gunsite called this "limp wristing", a/k/a "shooting like a Democrat."

my gun is bigger than yours. [/ QUOTE ] Not too practical for concealed carry, though. |

Also, as I said, it's only a problem with hollow point ammo. Stop trying to diagnose me is you don't know what you're talking about, Sugar.

[/ QUOTE ] Is the slide closing on an empty chamber with rounds still in the magazine or is the round lodging in between the magazine and the chamber? It could be a feed ramp or round length issue. Try a different hollow point with a longer overall length. If the slide is closing on an empty chamber with rounds still in the magazine ie: “short stroking” it might be that your recoil spring is too strong for that ammo. |

Before I consider writing a response to all you awesome people who are so badass with your guns, one of you answer this: Name one situation that you think a gun will help you in and I'm curious about the area you live in. [/ QUOTE ] Go back to the politics forum. ~D |
