AAC Tirant

[Texas1911]

Ol' Trusty with my new Tirant. It's a great can, lightweight and effective.

I like to hear it one time.

That can be arranged.

Dat holster wear

Need to bring it out mang.

Nice! Can't beat a nice quiet "working" gun! I wonder what effect the length of guide rod/barrel has on the cycling reliability of a semi-auto pisto with a can on itl? Would longer or shorted be more reliable? (pardon the slight thread drift please). In other words, would a Glock with a short barrel function a reliabily as a longer barrelled Glock with the same can on it? Just curious.

 

[LilIrishTemper]

Well I'll be, I never knew Glock made a stainless steel slide. Must be aftermarket.

Very nice can. Is the slide louder then the shot?

 

[Texas1911]

Slide isn't that loud ... the gun is worn down to polished reciprocating bits so it's really smooth. The piston in the can makes alot of noise though.

Whose after market barrel did you use Alan.

Lone Wolf ... but it's going back to Lone Wolf.

 

[SIG_Fiend]

Hmm, interesting. I never noticed that before about your G19 Alan. My G17 has an almost identical wear mark on the slide, at an angle like that and everything. That's odd? Oh well, I personally think wear like that makes a gun look GOOD.

My G17 Lone Wolf barrel was just fine and locked up perfectly. Alan's, on the other hand, was out of spec and wouldn't lock up properly. That's the nice thing about factory threaded barrels, you can almost guarantee they are going to be in spec and perfect. I think I hear your G19 calling for one Alan.

Holster wear is a badge of honor.

Glock makes factory threaded barrels?

 

[SIG_Fiend]

Yeah, they have for years, and for years they have refused to sell them in the US market for some stupid reason.

I'd like to get a couple. Too bad they don't want my money.

I heard at another gun forum Accusport is importing some. G19 factory threaded barrel *pics* - Page 3 - Glock Talk

Would need a new piston for my can, so I'll stick to the LW barrels.

Going to be hard to choke $265 + $65 for a new piston, but at least I know it will work.

The light hit it just right when I took the picture. It's from the SERPA holster and all the red dirt I got in it from hunting.

 

[Bithabus]

Why not get a G34 barrel and have it threaded?

G19s use a different barrel design. Putting a G17 barrel in a G19 will lock up the gun.

My G34 I could get a 17L barrel and cut it down.

Ah, right. Perhaps I'll get a G34 barrel for my 17.
