PRDATR Report post Posted July 21, 2023 Long story short. I have a G22 Police trade in I bought in 2007. Over the years I added a 257 Sig barrel and a LW 9mm barrel. Over the weekend I was shooting some 9mm/115gr that was on the light side and cases were not getting ejected much past my shoulder. One lodged between my glasses, dang that was hot. So now I'm sporting a nice blister. I went and bought a new stock RSA form the friendly guys at Glockmeister but also did some surfing and came to the realization that I maybe should have just bought a lighter RSA in the 13-15# range. Although I don't think I ever replaced the one that came with it and seems to work fine shooting the other ammo. Does anyone run one of these? I am looking at getting a 13# one.

10Turkeys Report post Posted July 22, 2023 I took a Glock Armour course last Oct. The instructor stated that a Glock will work when you want it to, and when they don't, it's usually due to an aftermarket part. I found that true with an Apex trigger that I had in one for a very short time. It double tapped. I took it off, sent it back for a refund and put the factory trigger back in it. Might not be the smoothest or the lightest pull, but it goes bang when I want it to. For my EDC that's what I want. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where did you take the course and was it just an 8hr course? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty close to 8 hours. YouTube videos will show you how to break down a Glock, but they don't go into the how's and why's of how they work. IE I've never seen a YouTube video point out that there is a nipple in the slide that the firing pin safety spring goes into, also I've watched a YouTube video on lubricating a Glock. The guy doing the video said to put a drop of oil down the hole across from the firing pin safety by the barrel. That is a weep hole ment to blow any foreign material away from the firing pin assembly, need to keep that oil free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing about the tungsten rod is the added weight over the factory plastic rod is reduces some of the recoil and muzzle flip, or so I've read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazymonkey Report post Posted July 22, 2023 I put a glockmeister guide rod and a heavier spring in my g20. I did polish the connector and some of trigger parts . That was lots of years ago . The gun works flawless. It needs a new barrel for some of the specialty rounds so it doesn't load up the barrel. But I usually just run some hollow points .
