This is why you don't clean a Glock

[Jayne]

I was cleaning the 22s and can't remember the last time I put a patch down the G34's barrel so I decided to clean it up a bit. Had I not done that, I never would have noticed this damage.

I'm blaming every charlie at the match (and all the previous matches) on this crown damage. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I think it was sabotage.
Possibly by a Springfield armory sponsored shooter.

Damn, that kind of damage to a Glock barrel is really something.
I've never seen one of them damaged at all come to think about it.....

That'll buff right out.

Now you got me to looking at the one on my hip. She’s been abused and rarely gets a bath but she’s been a dependable Gen 3 19. All the dusty mowing and now leaf blowing has her pretty nasty. I guess I’ll do my usual and fire off a round. My Ol lady shakes her head at the cloud of dust that blows out of it. I might run a patch through her and hit her with the air compressor in a day or two...

Someone told that I'm in the process of switching my EDC to a hellcat and keyed my glock.

I hear a Dremel will help smooth that.

Reminds of of the surgeon that fixed my knee up. After the surgery, he came into the recovery room and said, the damage you had in there was pretty impressive. Things you don’t want to hear. The damage you had to your knee and your Glock barrel is pretty impressive.

A unibit gives a more uniform crown in my opinion.

 

[RetiredUSNChief]

Meh. So what. It's a Glock...can't get much uglier.

And increase its value if he puts in the BST section....

 

[MacEntyre]

More scratches might make it look like modern art, a new kind of Glock Engraving... would go good with Stippling!

A good carpenter buys better tools!

Mark it as Custom, one of a kind.

 

[Catfish]

Get out a scribe and even it out with some gouges on the other side

That's the preferred method used by the Battery Oaks Custom Shop.

 

[Bigtig82]

Still probably more accurate than I could shoot it.

The crown looks ok. If the POI is fine im not seeing any issue with this. My carry G17 is pretty thrashed and is all the better for it.

A real carpenter says "Spackle and paint will make it what it ain't."

Seems legit.

 

[Oneofsix]

Sharpie and black fingernail polish can hide a multitude of oopsies...

 

[Somers31A]

Damned!

 

[Mudflap]

Yeah I let someone look at a pistol and they dropped it on the pavement. Yes I was ticked off but kept my cool. Scuffs and scrapes will happen.

 

[NCMedic]

Just drag it down a gravel road and put it in the BST with a "battle worn" finish
