I got a good deal on a Glock 19C, but after I bought it, I realized that the compensated barrel may not be the best thing to carry at night. So I bought an uncompensated lone wolf barrel for it. It looks pretty good. My question is this: By replacing the compensated barrel for an uncompensated barrel, have I succeeded in basically converting my G19C into a regular G19? I'm pretty sure I have, but I'd like an expert opinion.
Thanks for your answer, and hell yeah I want rail mount light, that way I will minimize the blinding effect , also I do not want to shoot to any friendly .....XD
If you are in a completely dark area, then yes the flash is powerful. Stand in a dark room and flip the lights on for a second and back off while looking towards the light. You will see the effect. If this is for home defense, my recommendation is to get a rail mount light. In the dark, this ensures target identification better than a laser (just a red dot on a black silhouette). I haven't let the compensation deter me from my Glock. I love it.
@SolemAris I am in law enforcement and just recently shot woth a glock 22c without night sights and scored 100 on the US Marshall night qualification. It does have some effect on your night vision but if your profcient enough it should be more than negligable.
In my book,it ain't a sport unless you sweat and it requires physical exertion, coordination,agility,etc. Aiming a gun at a target & pulling the trigger& doing it well requires coordination + steady hand, but not agility or exertion. Now if u shot a gun while jogging,well that's a sport. As for shooting animals: not sure how someone can kill Bambi and live w/themselves. Grapple w/ a deer -maybe that's a sport.But most hunters would lose b/c they're in bad shape, b/c hunting isn't a sport either.
Shooting is very much a sport have you ever heard of run and gun shooting sports like USPSA , IPSC & IDPA Trust me it can be very physical.
As for Killing bambi lol get out of here with that shit man. The human race would not be here if it was not for are ability to eat both plants & Animals ( Thats why you also have K9 teeth ) There's something to be said for hunting your meal instead of going to Mac D's lol.
points taken. if you eat the deer, and you hunt it as humanely as possible, it still beats buying meat from the store (evil factory farms). i just don't understand how someone could shoot and kill such a pretty animal and not feel like total shit about doing it.
Well don't get me wrong I'm not a asshole I do have feeling's but there truly is something that can not be said about the whole predator and prey relationship ( Its more about respecting the animal for the meat that is gives & the thrill of the hunt ) Its not just about killing something.
I understand your point... but, human have their cake and eat it too.. in the sense that we get to experience the thrill of the hunt as the predator, but we rarely (if ever) experience it as the prey. When it does happen (e.g., tiger attacks a person), it's all over the news as an awful tragedy. It seems a bit unfair that we remove ourselves from the "circle of life" nature (i.e., we're very rarely in a position to be preyed upon), yet we become predator when it's convenient.
Well I wouldn't say rarely ( Like you said look at the news ) People are killed everyday the only diffrence is that other people are doing the killing. Thats cause we as humans are at the top of the food chain and sadly we seem to be very good at killing another( Hell its the reason I have a Concealed Carry license ) but you are right we humans do have are cake & eat it to way to much.
why is it awful for humans to kill one another, but not awful to kill animals? what if i enjoyed hunting people, and eating their meat? of course i say this a bit tongue in cheek, but on a purely Spock-like logical level, you can probably see my point. btw - i have a glock 19 with lasermax uni-max laser. very accurate and never a jam. that's more than i can say about some 1911's i've shot. Representin' gun-owning, animal-respecting vegans everywhere (all 2 of us)
There are no laws in nature other than kill or be killed. Humans cook up this phony rulebook on how to live and try to convince other humans to live this way. We try to apply right from wrong and morality.
Me gunning down bambi for it's meat is about as normal as a polar bear ripping a seal in half. It's questioning the association between the two that is unnatural, human behavior.
Animals don't think about this crap, they are on primal overdrive.
tree climbing and gear hauling is part of hunting.... just as swinging a bat is part of baseball...
ive never killed a deer that didn't go in my freezer. thats part of the circle of life. if God intended me to be prey, he wouldn't have given humans the intelligence they have. I'm not knocking you for being a vegetarian. Do your thing. But don't try and knock somebody else for doing something they love. To each his own.
i had deer steak last night. excellent stuff. monday i grilled out quail. we killed those also. im assuming you'll be voting democratic lol.
shooting is a sport. hunting is a sport. haul a 30 lb tree stand and gear into the woods and climb 40 ft in a tree. theres your sweat, physical exertion, and agility. and since all hunters are in bad shape, i guess im just an outdoor sportsman.
as far as the glock, i love that gun. i plan on getting a lasermax for any home defense needs in the dark.
Why are you so against the compensated for CCW? In a more rapid fire, I shoot much better with my compensated 40 than I do a standard 9.... I know the flash is a bit of a distraction, but if its that dark, you aren't going to be able to see much when you shoot anyways...
does it leave a light blob in your eye after letting a few rounds loose? what you say, me working security, my life depends on a nice grouping a quick fire ad accuracy with a heavy grain hollow point.... glock 22 or glock 22 c? PLEASE REPLY, i got the money but don't want to rush things and get opinions from real gun owners, thanks bro....

Rail mount light (particularly indoors) really helps mitigate this muzzle flash. Personal opinion of course. Plus it looks sweet on the rig.

Hi there I am about to get one like yours.... because I went to a shooting practice and I loved .
But....
Many people criticize this magnificent weapon, claiming that if you fire it at night, you suffer a momentary blindness.
Is this true or just a myth?.
What about your own experience?
I would really consider your opinion.
Thanks

so it's the tree-climbing and gear-hauling that gives you the workout. not the actual hunting itself.
