My EDC is a Glock as well. Sitting on the desk next to me right now. G32 in my case. Had it since spring of 2009. Been absolutely reliable, never a jam or misfeed or anything else. The finish is starting to show some holster wear but that just gives it character. :lol: The treatment Glock uses is actually under the black finish, essentially baked into the slide so even if all the black coating wore off it'd still be fine.

Yep, the finish is more of a steel treatment than a coating. You can sand blast it and the finish is still there.

 

I am a huge glock supporter, however my glock 23 is an early gen 4 and I've about 6 jams in ~6,000 rounds. To me that is unacceptable. They were all failures to extract. It also throws cases like crazy. Usually straight back into your face.. I've had all the replacement parts put in. New RSA, ejector, extractor. I had 2 failures in a class I went to shortly after I put the new parts in. Then I bought a Glock 19 and haven't had a single problem. Only jams were from some girl limp wristing it repeatedly. I've heard a lot of similar complaints about the gen4 G23s.

My Glock is the only one of my "old" guns that has never had an issue. Though the problems I had in the past on my Sigs and Beretta were ammo problems- stovepipes from weak rounds each time- you get that one soft recoil that makes the .45 feel like a .22 and you know something was wrong. :lol: When I use the Storm Lake 9mm barrel the ejection is a bit off sometimes, but never a misfeed. But I expect that since the extractor/ejector isn't tuned for 9mm and it may even just be because I always shoot indoors and some rounds that did eject fine just bounce off something and end up hitting me. It's hard to tell. I fully expect my HK and new Sig will be flawless too.

Made a decision today. Went with a S&W M&P 15-22. My local guy ordered 4 of them, they sent him 3 regular 15-22's, and one that was outfitted with a MagPul stock, forearm, and sights. I think it'll be something fun to take out and play with, and still relatively cheap.

Haven't had a single jam in my Gen4 G22 with about 4000 rounds through it.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
