I finally got around to shoot a few pictures of my carry pistol.
They show a baby Glock growing up ...
Here are the barrels used:
This a standard G-26 fitted with a Pearce mag extension; this adds a lot to the control of the gun at a very little increase in size.
The mag extension does not add to the capacity of the mag (10)
Now we are growing, the baby Glock is fitted with a G-19 barrel; it is a "drop-in" mod and a G-19 magazine with a sleeve.
The sleeve is not a good idea, it adds a little on the aesthetics (if one can put aesthetics and Glock in the same sentence :wink but the mag is not usable anymore in the G-19; it is fastened with an allen set screw which must be loosened to remove the sleeve.
Interestingly enough the G-19 barrel gives the G-26 (9mm) more energy than the G-27 (.40) with a negligible increase in size.
We are looking below at a pistol which could be used by Gecko45 as a secondary BUG (the primary BUG would be no less than a MAC-10 :rofl
The ported barrel became necessary for me to keep shooting in spite of arthritis in the right wrist; it makes a big difference in muzzle flip.
I think it gives also a slight increase in muzzle velocity - not sure only 3 shots through the chrony.
I took a lot of flack over the ported barrel:
- the upward flash is blinding in low light > not true with Speer GD
- bullet and powder residues will be thrown back in your eyes > did not happen
- if you have to shoot through the passenger side of your car (while you are driving - a likely situation ) the gases escaping from the ports will injure your passenger > not true; I shot the gun with a piece of paper about 8 inches above the muzzle, nothing serious happened and if I had to shoot that way, I would probably angle the gun to the left (yeah, gangsta style) because it is a natural motion for me.
Of course, I also got the "advice" that such a modified gun would make a field day for the prosecution.
Maybe, maybe not.
I carry my ported G-26 with the regular magazine w/ pearce +0.
I carry the G-19 mag +2 as a spare; if I get to the point where I have to use it, meaning that the 11 rds in the first mag (10 + 1 in the tube) didn't do the job, I have a PROBLEM ... what a jury would think will be the least of my worries!!!
About the ported barrel, my arthritis is well documented my lawyer should have no problem ...
Note: For those who don't know about Gecko45, search this site or google it, it is highly entertaining - anybody have the link ?
