I don't get it

[HoytFlinger]

I would, but I hate to ship the gun off. I can have it cerakoted locally.

[SHOOT1SAM]

If you can swing it, go for something more like Ion Bond/ferritic nitro carburizing.  I have cerakoted and then carried stainless for long periods of time, and it does eventually wear.  Which is fine...The gun has a nice "been there" patina that was earned.  But if I had the money at the time I would have done the Ion Bond.

Can't wait to see the pics along with the range report.

Bud's does hundreds of transfers a week. The problem is the one guy unpacking that doesn't work every Saturday. FedEx dropped off 250 rounds of Fiocchi ammo a couple of hours ago. Thought I was going to have a great day at the range. Oh well.

Good weekend to start reloading

One of the days I'll get back into it. I have 250 rounds for now and Fiocchi doesn't cost a whole lot. I got 250 for $100 plus shipping.

I think the last time I sat and figured it out it was about 12 bucks for a box of fifty to make me 10mm reloads.

Lexington

Been to Buds a few times, my brother lives in Lexington. We usually go to Semper Fi for indoor shooting, closer to him.

I got a wild hair several weeks back and swapped my 1006 to a Smith M29PC. I still have a 1066 and M610 4 inch if I get the urge to shoot S&W 10mm.  Hope to see pics of your refinished 1006.

I decided against getting it cerakoted. I wish it was tapped for a rail. I really need a red dot. I have to use readers to see the open sights and anything past 10 yards and the target gets super blurry. I hate to only be able to shoot this thing at 10 yards.   If anyone near Lexington, KY has a Glock 40 MOS and wants a 1006 I am thinking about trading so I can have a red dot capable 10mm.

[HoytFlinger]

Going to sell it on Gunbroker I believe. I hate too, but wife would kill me if I bought another gun as I just bought a S&W Victory about two weeks ago.

I used to be buddy buddy with a gunsmith. I was over doing something over there (Think I was just out his way and wanted to blab) When he tells me he had a customer who had him mount a set of ghost rings on a Colt 1911. He really didn't have time to go to the range and see if it was on or off, could I do it for him? So I did. I was wondering if they would help me see better without my glasses on. (They didn't) Red Dot is much better for me.

[Kenk]

Yep, I need to consider going that route myself

[HoytFlinger]

Got a G40 MOS last Sunday. Haven't gotten a red dot yet, but am going to shoot it open sights on Saturday. I like the way it feels. I have had about 7 or 8 Glocks and this one is already my favorite and haven't even shot it.

[Kenk]

Yep, the G40 is high on my list as well. I'm sure I would like it as much, if not more than my G20 : )

[Ramjet]

I love my model 40 MOS with a Trjicon and a 7" KKM bbl. accurate and great velocity and very enjoyable to shoot.

[Kenk]

Hey Ramjet, so the Trjicon is everything you had hoped for in that optic?
Thanks

Guess it wasn't meant to be. I returned the red dot as I couldn't hold it steady, was more accurate open sights, and put on Ameriglo CAP sights. They are awesome at 10 yds. I tried shooting at 25 yds and I couldn't see the target with my readers. I bought this G40 for hunting and there is zero chance of me qualifying with it at my club. Qualifying is 2 out of 3 bullets in a six inch circle at 50 yds. No sense in keeping a 10mm that I can only shoot a max of 10 yards with. Sucks beyond words. I guess pistol hunting is out for me. Another one to GunBroker.
