DesertFoxRomel Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) Refinished my KSC Airsoft GBB Glock 18C today. Need to touch up some areas, fix slide catch problem, and fix trigger spring problem. http://imageshack.us/g/577/dsc07239l.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/g/841/dsc07226e.jpg/ Edited October 13, 2011 by DesertFoxRomel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Foxhound Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) I recall a couple years back when I first got my custom made G-Code holsters none of my Airsoft Glocks would fit in them without some heat gun softening. So how well do holsters designed for Glock 20/21's retain Airsoft G17's? I ask because I'm going to be ordering some more Kydex holsters soon and it'd be nice to have it fit right right out of the gate. Retains it perfectly. Breaks in rather fast and has a nice smooth draw and reholster. But keep in mind Raven concealment has said these holsters are not made to hang upside down with. So the turning it upside down and shaking it proves nothing with these holsters. Whats RCLS said on there facebook Page: (Remember, these are for real guns) We've all watched the videos - somebody unboxing a holster (ours or someone else's) and the person in the video immediately inserts a pistol and shakes the holster upside down to "test" the retention. This "test" does nothing to show the qualities of retention for a holster in a real world scenario. Many holsters (ours included) are set to properly retain a pistol with the belt cinched down tight. Retention properties may slightly change when the holster is removed from the belt. A holster needs to perform two functions - 1) Hold your firearm securely to your body through rigorous activity 2) Allow easy access to draw the pistol if/when you need it If your holster performs those two functions, it is doing its job. The "shake test" doesn't provide any data that is relevant for real-world testing of a holster. A true "review" for a holster is to be out on the range actually wearing the item.....but that's a topic for another rant.

RacingManiac Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 But they do hold the pistol upside down though...Never had the gun fall out before... As an aside KSC Glock can fit the 9mm Glock holsters without issue. TM AFAIK are the only ones with trouble and need to resort to .45 Glock holsters... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 G20/21 holsters always seem to fit airsoft (well TM spec anyway) G17s as if they were meant to be used together. I've only tried that once myself (G17 + G21 Safariland), but I've read about it being the case many times. Good to know. I'll give it a try. Thanks! Retains it perfectly. Breaks in rather fast and has a nice smooth draw and reholster. But keep in mind Raven concealment has said these holsters are not made to hang upside down with. So the turning it upside down and shaking it proves nothing with these holsters. Whats RCLS said on there facebook Page: (Remember, these are for real guns) I'm comfortable with the level of retention kydex in general and more specifically Raven's holsters provide. I use Raven's holsters for my M&P and a few other RS handguns. They do what I need and expect them to do. Good enough for me. But they do hold the pistol upside down though...Never had the gun fall out before... As an aside KSC Glock can fit the 9mm Glock holsters without issue. TM AFAIK are the only ones with trouble and need to resort to .45 Glock holsters... Yep, Glock 21 holster is in my near future! Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aznriptide859 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 They also are the only ones that have the "Made in Austria" trademarks. Wolfgeorge if you lived any closer to me I'd have to rob you for them XD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I have a second "old style" frame for the other one. They are as shine as the current stock frame. And yes Guarder makes full trademark frames but from what I've read they are pain to install and they tend to break fairly easy! The slide is a Boomarms 2T Cobra slide these were made by Prime. These are discontinued I'm afraid, I was searching for one of these about two years ago and I couldn't find one. I fell in love with this particular pistol since the first time I saw it! Here's the parts list - BoomArms CNC two-tone Cobra slide - KSC Glock 34 frame with FULL Glock trademarks - KSC Glock 34 extended mag catch and slide catch - Madbull 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel - Shooters Design polymer feed ramp - SD firefly valve - NineBall bearing recoil guide rod with custom short stroke - Zenith recoil spring - Hurricane hammer spring - Guarder steel outer barrel, custom cut length and highly polished - FreedomArts red fiber optic sights Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lazyshark Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 It was a custom one-off slide made for wwjkc. As far as I know its one of a kind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Might have been the one he got from Junior(the4thpower's brother)? IIRC the gun was originally built by him, the upper is a ProG4 custom special... Edited October 20, 2011 by RacingManiac Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lazyshark Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Is it Junior's originally? It has JRC markings, i thought it was from wwjkc because those are close to his initials. regardless, it is a custom slide so that's why its not on the site. I'm thinking about getting a jpoint and a magwell and a few co2 mags. Edited October 21, 2011 by lazyshark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Anyone have experience with the 5KU slide and barrel sets for the TM Glock? I wanted to get a Glock 17C and fit the Shooters Design black Dual Port Slide on it but they're indefinitely sold out at all retailers (checked with DEN Trinity who is actually behind Shooters Design). I've considered Guarder, but I've often had fitment issues with Guarders. How are Guarder slides nowadays? Anyway, since the Shooter Design slide I wanted is out of stock, I was considering this 5KU slide instead. Any feedback? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Guarder's newer Glock slide(7075, stainless, or carbon steel) should be a lot better than they were before.....I am still using the newer steel slide from Guarder...

wwjkc Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 LAZYSHARK, THAT's was Junior's old gun, my initial should be "JKC" if it was mine but still a nice bit of kit though, custom stuff are the best! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
