Beamhit glock modifications - part 2 - Page 2

Randy · June 9th, 2008, 04:56 PM

I don't have any part numbers. I could call the factory and see what they will tell me. The pistol was purchased directly from them.

The acoustics along with the pic of the firing pin (nothing to push out through the channel into the primer) makes sense to me.

If we got parts #'s, would we (the non-LEO among us) be able to purchase them from glock or a distributor?

Thanks!

Thank you Randy for posting these pictures. If there is any way you can purchase the parts, I'll be glad to buy a set from you.

The Glock 17R does work well with the Beamhit system. In fact, I bought my Beamhit system after trying one at a GSSF match in Georgia - Glock Inc. hosted a side match for prizes using the red gun and beamhit system - it worked very well.

I would also buy a set.

Randy,

Could we get a length on the R Model Firing pin and the trigger spring? Are there any mods to the trigger connector or the trigger bar?

Could we also see a picture of the entire unit assembled with the trigger bar as it would be ready to drop into the frame?

I really appreciate your help and taking the time to post the pix.

What I have from a reputable dealer is that if they have the part #(s) they will order for us- providing Glock doesn't require a departmental requisition.

Randy, if you could do us another favor- if Glock won't give out part #s, would you mic the differences between the stock and R firing pins? OAL, and length from the face of the FP to the trigger interface?

I know I can modify the NY trigger spring and a housing, but I'll need to study on the FP for a bit. If I was able to modify a stock part, a package would be around $45 + shipping (NY trigger spring- $4; trigger housing $8-12; FP about $27)

Edit: one last question- it looks like between 1/8" and 1/4" longer for the R model FP. Is the head (where the FP nose is) longer, or is it the body itself? If the head, I could chuck up an FP, turn it down, and thread a small extension on it...

Randy - Please, please get the part #'s or the part #'s and the parts so we can go in on a group buy.

I am heavily salivating at the prospect of using my beamhit system and multiple targets without having to repeatedly cock the glock after every shot.

Rob - Thanks for checking on this.

Anyway that gets me to use the beamhit with multiple laser activations has my votes. Rob - if this is the only/optimal way to go, sign me up.

Okay - I hope to answer all of the questions... if I miss something, let me know.

The firing pin spring, connector, and trigger bar are the same as found in the standard models.

I don't have a part number on the firing pin yet. There is a number stamped on the end of the firing pin: 2474.

Here are three firing pins with dimensions. Top: 9mm, middle: 10mm/45acp, bottom: reset model.

TMH with trigger spring installed.

Here's the trigger bar installed in the TMH.

Trigger spring with OAL dimension.

Trigger bar / trigger spring relative position (minus the TMH) right side.

Trigger bar / trigger spring relative position (minus the TMH) left side. Note, I had to prop up the side of the trigger spring to get it into proper position for the picture.
