>glock switched to shitty new slide finish >changes the still in production gen 3 slides to use an even shittier finish instead of the roided one they used to use so they dont show themselves up with old product >suddenly everyone everywhere just accepts ridiculous levels of finish wear as shart and fartcel of living in a modern society You can get 100 year old revolvers without ANY finish wear from crazy old fashioned bluing, you can get the old tennifer gen 3's that have been holstered and unholstered for years with minimal though not 0!wear, but suddenly having large amounts of exposed carbon steel after a few months is now not only good but also has always been the case according to faggots. Not every gun needs a mk23 tier finish but something between that and a sharpie coating would be nice
>>65186161 It does let you see who does and doesnt train, but at the cost of being an eyesore and wittingly accepting shit in your mouth and paying them for it
>>65185968 The tennifer slide finish was discontinued because of goverment regulations, not because Glock specifically wanted to stop using it. If you find a revolver that's as old as you're saying, and it doesn't have any wear, it wasn't a gun that was actually used. Bluing wears too when you're actively shoving the gun in a holster that is carried more than just at a barbecue, hate to break it to you.
>>65185968 >You can get 100 year old revolvers without ANY finish wear from crazy old fashioned bluing No you can’t. Bluing is extremely delicate and the only guns that old without finish wear would have to have been kept oiled, uncarried and unshot, in storage in a non humid environment. >>65186251 Congrats on putting the worst finish possible on your guns.
>>65186439 >Bluing is extremely delicate The brace of mosins I have that have survived one or two world wars and whatever extra Soviet bullshit was deemed necessary, only to end up in my retard hands and be put through the ringer for a decade or more in the outdoors tend to disagree.
>>65186713 Truly was. Season 8 onward is just sad to me. Fans unwilling for let their favorite shows end, ruin them, now those guys are old and it's just not right
I've owned a 19 and 43x. I honestly didn't know why I tried the 43x other than I thought maybe with its smaller size the angle wouldn't matter but it did. I got rid of it and continue to edc my P365. Still have the 19 but it spends 99% of its time in the safe.
Used to thing the grip angle was a meme, but its not
>>65186713 >>65186757 Did neither of you see Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys? It was a like a capper for season 7 and was meant to be the end. Then they made two movies which were both amusing and closer to the original run than the later seasons. And while the Netflix seasons got whackier for sure I still thought they had their moments, though you could tell John Dunsworth didn't have the energy anymore in 12.
Worst part is the quality is inconsistent too. My 47 showed the same wear after only 900rds as my gen 5 17 did after 2500. Wish we could have the old glossy black tennifer or the grey melonite finish back.

>>65188151 AND they've known for decades that the type of corrosion that DID happen would happen, but they did it anyway...
And we're not talking about your grandad's shotgun that's been leaning in the corner of his shop for 30 years getting a little rust on it. We're talking about a brand new BILLION dollar aerospace project that was built in a clean room. Makes you wonder what other projects they've been paid BILLIONS of dollars for were also built in the same haphazard manner.
>>65190198 Yes. Once you start noticing it you see it everywhere, men (and women) use language to affirm their gender constantly we can't seem to help it.
>>65185968 Glocks have always been shit and they're gonna get even shittier now that Gaston is dead and the company is pulling its last few schemes before selling off.
>>65186578 >All this shitting and you plebs still forgot to mention the shittiest part >>shitty grip angle >>>65185968 (OP) >>shitty >>shittier >>>65185997 >>shitty >>>65186168 >>shit >>>65186251 >>shit
How long before this shitty company sells out to an even shittier one?
>>65185968 I didn't realize how awful the factory finish is until getting a g47 last month bc my others were either 19x or cut+nitrided shortly after purchasing. I'm seeing bare metal already after just 3 weeks of dryfire, compared to my nitrided 19 which doesn't have a single mark after 5yrs.
>>65185968 Why even continue to bitch about Glocks when the M&P exists? It's the perfect cheap handgun, a Glock but it actually works and doesn't fail. Just get a fucking M&P.
>>65188243 Tenifer used cyanide in it's production, and disposing / handling the waste is both expensive and time consuming. There's a reason every other company has moved away from finishes that require that degree of hazmat handling. Plus, Kathrin Glock didn't get married to Gaston until after Glock already started discontinuing Tenifer finishes. >>65190194 They’re different terms with a small degree of overlap. Practice is typically more referred to when discussing maintaining skills, while training usually involves improving said skills / learning new ones. We used the terms like that back when I was a competitive swimmer, and from what a quick search shows it seems that’s pretty much how they’re still used. To be fair, lots of shooters consider very minimal practice to be “training”, although you could argue that as long as you’re trying to push yourself to be faster / more accurate / whatever, you’re training rather than simply practicing.
Obviously it's not ideal because it's more money down the drain, but I'll drop a rec for the NT7 Performance Coating from Wright Armory (Mesa, AZ). Had this in and out of a holster for several years now and still looks basically new.
>>65196924 >POUs for WROL OMFG SHTF Seriously though, just to shoot better, faster and more consistently. Doesn't matter if that applies to shooting people, shooting animals, competitions or just the satisfaction of improvement.
