I’m impressed. I have a G19 of similar vintage that ran competitions and courses for years, along with EDC, probably with a similar round count but gentler life in the holster and less of a diet of fine grit. I am amazed at the lack of parts breakage, the barrel's accuracy has not degraded to the point that I can tell, and the amount of cheese that can build up in the mechanisms (firing pin channel, extractor recesses, etc.) and it simply doesn't care. I even ran it one year of matches, courses, qualifications, and EDC without cleaning the interior (just wipe down exterior, inspect parts, shake sand out) and nothing. Which brings me to the question of when that SAS guy went into this cave in Afghanistan and ended up having to knife some Tali because his G19 "failed" makes me wonder what actually happened to that pistol - mainly so I can make adjust preventive maintenance on mine. |

Guns are subject to Quarterly/Semi Annual/Annual inspections. No round count unless cannon tubes. If guns have any issues they bring them in. Is there a specific life cycle on a Glock? As in they get replaced at X years, Y rounds, or similar? What usually drives replacement of the pistol? |

Dumb question of mine but what holsters are typically ran with the SF glocks. From the photos is seems like quite a few of CD’s holsters, older safariland DO’s and some one off personal purchases. It seems like any safariland ones out there are only the als and dont have hoods either.

My Mk27 Mod 2 with an SU-291 and LH barrel. Still need to track down a USA G19 Gen 4 but I'm happy with this so far. |

Mike is a good dude. Pranka is an egotistical D. I respect his achievements and skills...but he's as much ego as he is hard skills and that isn't good when it comes to evaluating techniques and gear. Either way, I am a VCQB certified instructor. Its absolutely realistic and valid for people who work around cars in the kinetic/gunfight sense. The ballistic demo alone is something we should all see to understand how bullets do and don't penetrate vehicles. |
