Comment on Glock 19 G19 Semi-Automatic Pistol Review by S.B.Chesnin

I have had a Glock 19 Gen 3 for about 9 years. I have a 2.5 lb. trigger on it. I have run approximately 80,000 rounds through it. At 25,000 rounds, the slide stop notch wore off and Glock put on a relatively new used barrel and slide. I have shot IDPA with it and it has been my regular concealed carry gun. I switched to carrying a 4″ custom Kimber .45 apc about 2 years ago, but with the increased cost of ammo, I couldn’t afford to practice as much as I would like, so I sold the Kimber and went back to the Glock 19. I can usually put 50 rounds in a 2 inch hole on the x at 7 yds, so I suspect I can make an attacker sit down and think about it, if necessary.

Obviously I wasn’t there to witness how the spent casing was stuck in the breech during the stovepipe, but was there a possibility that could have been placing lateral pressure on the striker safety? If so, some residue may have held it in place(in the unsafe position) while the slide went forward. That’s the thought that jumped into my head.

I’ve had a gen3 G19 about a half a year. I’d never had a semi-auto before. This weapon was dead-on accurate right out of the box. I put a Houge grip sleeve on it & that’s all. It feels like a natural extension of my hand. When using both hands, I place the trigger finger of the non-shooting hand on the textured front of the trigger guard- minimizing the already minimal muzzle flip even more. Man, can I dump a bunch of rounds into a small target in very short order! I’ve had one issue- all my fault- I had lubed the striker and extractor before I read they should be kept dry. It continued to work flawlessly- until I cheaped-out one day at the range by running 150 rounds of dirty Russian ammo through it. 3 stovepipes in the last 30, or so rounds. I finally broke down and decided on a complete slide disassembly/cleaning. I dreaded it at first, thinking it would be complicated and I’dbe searching my carpet for small parts & springs. On the contrary- I was pleasantly surprised at how simple it actually was. The Glock is common sense simple. I wouldn’t be without it. On aesthetics- it’s not pretty, but neither am I!

Comment on Ares Gear Ranger Belt – A Brief Review by Matthew

The Ares Gear Ranger is my favorite belt for concealed carry. Excellent materials and construction, easy-to-adjust metal quick release buckle, and no velcro. I have a 34″ waist and wear size XL (36-42″) which has enough room for inside waist band carry of a large handgun and 2 extra mags. Purchased through WeaponOutfitters.com and received great service!

After almost a quarter of a century after the Glock 19 arrived, it is still the benchmark by which all compact handguns are judged. Other makers have added the occasional facility here, the slight difference there but at the the end of the day, the Glock 19 still reigns supreme.
Other manufacturers must find this incredibly depressing.

I used my factory Glock 10 round magazine, which has had a slight history of feeding issues when manually chambering a round…

May I ask why you continued to use a magazine that had a history of dysfunction?
