What are your firearms related pet peeve’s?

[ilikegunspdx]

Well. That settles it. Sigma paperweight for now, at least until I can get either confirmation that SD40 guide rods works in SW40V, or replacement parts (if any) comes from S&W guess that means I'm back on the hunt for a good 9mm or .40 service handgun under $500 but not a Hi Point we do have a .45 JHP brick, no holster but its unlikely to be a hiking companion, I'd sooner lug the 6.5 Grendel SBR on a sling

You can buy Glock 22 all day long for $279 (gen 3). Gen 4 is more like $319

Smaller version le trade in .40 glocks available also. Long barrel/slide glock 35 .40 s&w is $399 le trade in.

Here's mine I got for $279 so you can see condition for an example of that price point:

Sgm mags are cheap and good quality. Adaptive firing solutions has used oem mags for $10 as I recall.

I was thinking more along the lines of a Beretta 92 , 1911 (I do have a lot of .45 ammo due to the two Hi Point 45 cal firearms we have) or even a Sig 220 type glock might work, if I can't source a Beretta 92 under $550. Got a line on a 92A1 , waiting to get confirm if still available

Oops I thought you said good 9mm or .40 s&w good service handgun. Don't have a clue on .45s although I do also see lLE trade in .45s but I don't recall cost.

Yea I said 9 or 40 simply cuz I've a lot of both ammo and 9 is cheap, 40 is decently available (replace the Sigma, fine by me). 45 though, 1911's something I always look at but hard to afford original Colts.. RIA, Tisa maybe. Not sure of Taurus. Got a big thing for military used guns or their derivatives, hence Beretta 92 but then again... Sig P220s are very spendy to me

9s or 40s, higher capacity than 1911s, usually decently light but not too light... coming from a guy who loved the P85 before gifting to my brother..

Edit and the 92a1 sold today.. not that surprising actually. I'll keep looking

You looking for a SW40V? Got a buddy that doesn't like his.

NO on the whole gun. parts yeah. I have my dad's and its guide rod assembly blew out, so its not functional anymore, had to pry things and use a cleaning rod to get the spring aligned just enough to take slide off.

Apparently, the Glock 19 OEM recoil spring/rod assembly is compatible with the SW40VE and SD9V; I have this SW40V with the gray frame.. perhaps I ought to just get the Glock 19 OEM spring/rod?

Give it a try, they cost very little right?

Can't hurt to try, yeah. Wonder if any local gunsmith have spares otherwise, online

I bet there are a gazillion oem ones floating around at gun shops or private owners. Everyone wants to upgrade from oem.

 

[bradsteen]

Pretty sure gen 3 and older G17s and G22s used the same recoil spring assembly.

Maybe try eBay probably a lot on there or local ffl may give you own for free.

You have no idea the number of times I've almost bought one of those stupid things.

That g23 for $299 is tempting. I like .40 Glocks.
