Had a chance to shoot around 200 rounds today:

I cleaned the pistol prior to today’s session.

I used mostly Magtech 124’s, the rest Speer Lawman 124’s, except for two mags of Ranger 124gr +P...

Nice, good to know, thanks. I may pick up a couple just to have.

Thinking out loud: I should video my Glock’s ejection pattern, before and after whatever changes I make.

You are exactly right, apparently the ejector itself is pulled out and reinstalled in the Gen 3 trigger housing. I just ordered some and will try it out.

BTW, is there a reason to go with Gen 5 Mags?

I found an earlier Gen OEM Glock mag on sale for $19.99, they look like Gen 3 or 4 mags, at least based on the picture. ...

I'm going to shop for more Glock mags this week.

BTW what Mag extenders can you all recommend?

I'm using dreaded PMags, the 21 rounders, for matches too, and I might as well get some extenders...

Well it was only one malfunction, and if it happens a second time I'm definitely sidelining the PMags to eliminate that variable...so luckily no significant amounts of ammo were pissed...

Yeah good review of potential problem areas, thanks.

I was using Magtech 124gr FMJ's.

Interesting side note: I was using 124 gr Blazer Brass for training and USPSA, out of a Gen 5 G17. Well I...

Great info thanks!

It does have the stock 336 ejector.

I'll have to check out that extractor fit, and I'll polish the sucker if it's tight! (I also have some Apex extractors too that I could...

I've used those PMAG's as training mags for about a year now, and I probably shot at least 5000 rounds during the last 4-5 months through them using my Gen 5 G17 with no problems..but point taken....

Great exploration of the possibilities, much appreciated.

I never had stock Glocks malfunction either, except for a Gen 2 back in the day that didn't like Blazer Aluminum 115 grain ammo.

180...

Yeah, now I see how one crappy mag can open a Pandora’s box of potentially wrong speculations!

Great trouble shooting list! Thanks!

Any thoughts on optimal recoil spring weight for my set up?

Yeah at least I could eliminate the most common culprit behind most malfunctions, dodgy mags, funny how I missed that. I’m kicking myself for not marking which mag that was! I even have them numbered...

Good thoughts thanks, I think it’s my first stove pipe so I guess it made an impression!

I got them P mags for practice only so I don’t wear out my Glock mags but I didn’t realize they are not...

First ever stovepipe.

Gen 3 G17 with Wilson Combat drop in barrel.
Stock RSA, has had around 3000 rnds on it.
Stock ejector/extractor.

After a break in period with the WC barrel where I...

I’m sorry for the late response! I haven’t been on here recently.

But yes that rig was totally legal for practical optic.

I want the plain edge one for the record, but some may want to have a hard wearing ripper that'll laser through roap, seat belts, and leather jackets. :)

Bringing this one back up.

I’m very interested in getting this same knife and sheath combo.

How’s it working it out?

With the RK sheath/DCC clips, can it be carried edge forward AIWB at...

A buddy invited me last minute to do a PCSL - 1 gun (pistol) match this Thursday.

This will be my first time.

I’ve only done two USPSA matches and shot both from aiwb using a G17.5 w a 508T...

thanks!



thanks for the good data points

I really appreciate your comments for sure.

I like your reasoning regarding just going all OEM to begin with, and then adding wild cards one at a time :D.

For barrels, KKM seems like the most...

Thank you for the detailed explanation, I really appreciate it. And I hear you...the whole BTF/sucky ejection thing really sucks...I would also not like brass to the optic either. Yeah that cheap...

Thanks for reminding me about Grey Ghost, I'll have to look at their stuff again!

What sort of bad luck have you had with SI and Brownells?

I'll check out PSA Dagger.

good to know...I may take the Wilson Combat barrel out of my G17 slide, replace the OEM barrel in there, and try the WC in whatever new slide I get. I'm just concerned that the original G17 slide...
