I'll give you 30 rounds of steel case 5.56mm and a dented aluminum AR-15 30-round mag with a weak spring and broken follower for it

This friend also brought along a really nice .22 LR S&W revolver that was really cool...probably about $6-700 cool.

Yeah, if those .22 S&W revolvers were half the price I'd buy one ... but $600-$700 is what I spend on a top-notch defensive handgun, not a plinker.

If you happen to use a Glock as a carry handgun, it's a great way to retain same grip frame and trigger to get cheaper practice. I also use it as a way to introduce novice shooters. Fire some .22 then swap slides/barrels and fire 9mm with same grip/trigger.

Mine have been 100% reliable with the recommended ammo - Remington Golden Bullets and CCIs. Surprisingly accurate too.

Edit: they sell these at GT Distributors

I'll have to look that up. I like that idea a lot! do u know the cost?

About $280 at GTs - if they don't have the right model in stock they'll order it for you (not sure how long this might take with current panic buying) ... Red's Range in Pflugerville also seems to have these in stock, but last i was was before the panic ... Glockmeister.com and other online sellers list them for $325

One thing to be aware of, there is a different version for Gen 3 and Gen 4 Glocks (not interchangeable because of difference in recoil spring size and associated slide cutout) ... also since these replace entire upper half, they are specific to each size of Glock ... one size will fit models 17, 22, 31 (full size) one for mid size (19, 23, 32) one for "baby" (26,27,33) - and other sizes for the .45 and 10mm Glock frames
