best advice we can give to a G30 owner

paltic · 07-12-2004, 19:27

mga pare ano-ano po ba ang advice na pwedeng ibigay dito sa pinsan ko na may Glock 30:

palagi na siya pumuputok using LEAD reloaded ammos
-using brass cases na halos 10x na nai-reload.

im worried baka kako matsambahan ng KB;-(
...i'll copy & paste everything na isu-suggest ninyo. para mabasa niya sa text. tnx in advance.

sell it and buy an s_i;f

Kidding aside, as long as he does not fire more than 100 rounds it will be not that risky. but its still risky.

as for the brass, it should not be shot too much on an unsupported chamber, since its a 45 maybe 10 reloads are ok. but again still risky.

best advice is buy a new supported chambered land and groove barrel form barsto, etc. then shoot till you drop with lead rounds. as for the brass, shoot till you see a small crack on the brass and then dump it.

if he insists in using his old barrel then go for teflon, plated, or fmj and do be careful on the brass since a small crack on the base will produce the dreaded kaboom and goodby glock 30

With the 45 I can only offer 2 suggestions:

1. Be careful with double charged ammo, so know your load.

2. Make sure you scrub your barrel well after every range session when using lead.

Let me start. Aside sa usual tender loving care like making sure it's always clean, make it a point not to use wadcutter ammo(i think). Yun bang ammo na meron shoulder on the base of the head. It gets jammed kasi with the ejecting case. Napaaway ako sa stronghand because of that. hehe

Its not wise also to use very old bullet brass shell. Mine was not even brass coz its silver from the "baul"(old treasure chest) of my dear father. I found that the hard way.. :(

Aside from that i hope your cousin enjoys it like i do. cheers! ;z

Listen to Reccah even though it seems he's downplaying his experience with his G30. ;f

Btw, Reccah, musta bul storm mo? Solid pa rin ba, how many rounds na?

batangueno · 07-12-2004, 21:07

Here's a pic of the case failure that Reccah's G30 survived. No damage to the gun, although i think he did have a federal barrel installed. Ewan ko lang kung anong nangyari kung naka stock barrel 'yon.

Replace the barrel immediately with a fully supported barrel usinhg conventional rifling.

ah oo nga.how much?

jasonub · 07-13-2004, 01:02

he he he will sell it and get an s_i;f

doctabako · 07-13-2004, 01:13

Lead and old brass cases? in a stock barreled Glock? He's asking for trouble with a capital KB

07-13-2004, 05:40

Which caliber is recommended here in the Phils if you purchase a Glock? Definitely not .40 diba? We shoot a lot of reloads here kasi since mahal ang factory. Pati ba .45 hindi rin advisable? (G21s and G30s?)

ReccaH · 07-13-2004, 08:09

Sumikat na naman G30 ko! hehe. The gun still works fine up to now and honestly was amazed that nothing bad happened to my gun. Nevermind my hand...

MC_O - I'm still in love with my Bul Storm even with the falls(plural) hehe. Primarily because of its nice trigger pull.

If you ask Judge or Saruman, they'll tell you to get a .40 S(wift)&W(icked) ;f ;f If you ask ppts or homogenizer or even me, we'll tell you to get a 9mm ;f But its really up to you and what caliber you feel comfortable with.

kristiansen · 07-13-2004, 17:38

my G22 works just fine.no jams,no FTF,no hiccups ,no nothing.its flawless! get something in 40 cal.

Saruman,back me up here;f

JuDGe · 07-13-2004, 18:18

For defense and carry...I'd go with a .40S&W Anytime.... Everytime!

For IPSC Production.... well that's another story.... ;f

Must be your premium factory loads and power-puff reloads! ;f ;f ;f

That depends on a lot of factors which includes, but not linmited to-- the size of your hands, the intended or projected use for the pistol, and the availability of your chosen caliber.

That said, I would personally consider a 9mm Glock to be the most versatile choice.

YMMV

Again, just be careful with your loads and be thorough in inspecting for lead build-up and you'll be okay. An aftermarket barrel is a cheaper alternative relative to a new gun. So that route may be more cost-effective for you.

Of course, there is absolutely no reason NOT to buy a new gun if you can afford it. ;f

well to tell you guys the truth i have no idea kung magkano na bentahan and what is fair,but can you give me an idea for the price of the glock 30?? kung baga eh meet tayo sa gitna yung patas ba ..... preyong magkaibigan, and also ok ba na ipalit ko ay h s 2000 na 9mm?? my friend has been egging me for days on buying one kapalit ng glock, well for one reason is the price mas mura siya kaysa sa glock, but for any other reason like performance or durabilty wala akong alam. hope you can help me guys...thanks

jasonub · 07-13-2004, 20:58

glock 30 around 40t second hand 35 and its a steal. exchange for a hs2000 i dont think thats fair for you. exchange for a colt 1911 second hand that seems reasonable.

imho, you'd be better off with a g17. i heard its difficult to secure accessories for the hs 2000 here in da pilipins

batangueno · 07-13-2004, 21:51

You're going to let go of your G30 for an HS2000?!!!;L
