Having fun with my G21

Putting new sights on DILIT’s G44 got me focused on Glocks for a bit. There just may be a little order coming in from Midway. In the meantime, I thought I’d strip the 21 down and do a little cleaning and trigger work. So pop out the three pins and here is what you get:

These are the parts we will be polishing to remove friction in the trigger assembly.

Post-polishing:

Reassembly:

Where metal meets metal.

Reassembly into frame:

And, finally, testing trigger pull weight:

4 to 4.25 pounds. If it was just for targets, I’d put a 3.5 pound trigger bar in. Having it go into the carry rotation, I’ll keep it firm.
Yup, winter is for projects. I’ll be looking for that Midway package.

And a Happy New Year to You!

DILIT got Hi Viz sights for Christmas for her G 44. Yesterday I installed them.

Very helpful to have a rear sight tool. Old sight out, new sight in:

Couldn’t find my front sight tool to get the little screw head turning, but Bubba got it out.

Voila!

DILIT is D-Lighted!

Day before Christmas

What to do, what to do?

Why, go to the Range, of course! (Word of explanation – due to family schedules, we celebrated Christmas a week ago. We are all done, even the wrapping paper clean-up.) And Santa did bring that new guide rod and spring. So:

Fresh powder! 25 degrees! Looming gray skies!

Good day for UpLula loading!

Yup, she works. 80 rounds of LRN and FMJ with nary a failure. Firmly into battery each time and no schmutz in the striker pin channel.

Life is good. And Merry Christmas to all!
