Slightly off-topic:
I have a Shadow Systems MR918 which is not the optics ready version. Basically a Glock 19 Gen4 slide. I sent it to Battlewerx for milling and installation of a 507C and was very, very impressed with their work and turnaround time.

If you pick those options, you get this message:
I asked him to do irons in front about a month ago, and got this reply:The selected optic cut configuration is not compatible with this model. 43/43X/48 models can only be machined in the SETBACK configuration with the RMRcc optic cut.
Unfortunately it is not possible to safely machine this configuration due the the dimensions of the optic and the drop safety mechanism in the slide.

That’s odd. I’m tempted to just move forward with milling my m&P for now. I own it already. But I’ve got to grab a 48 soon. Tough call.
Put another 50 rounds of Blazer 124 through the G48 today shaking out the new Shield Arms 15 round magazines. I am liking the mags in this gun. So far so good.
I did have one malfunction; a failure to feed on round 3 of a 15+1 loaded magazine. The slide just did not go into battery completely. I looked at the spec for the BB vs. the normal AE I run; they are not that far different.
So far, since the 507k has been installed (direct mill by PM), I've had four malfunctions of this type, 3 with Speer Gold Dot 124+p, and one with the Blazer.
This ammo shot otherwise ok today, and shoots ok in my other Glock (34).
I guess I'm not sure what to make of this. On the one hand, I can blame the ammo (again), or it maybe that I'm just rolling the dice every time with this gun with this optic with this RSA (which I did end up renewing at just over 1,000 rounds, just to be safe.) I'd like to shoot a case of Federal HST to validate the gun, but it ain't happening. I mean heck it'd be cheaper to buy a G45 MOS and get used to running a slightly bigger gun AIWB now I've lost some weight. Hmmm...
Failure to completely RTB seems to be the most seen issue in the 48. I know mine was resolved or at least seriously reduced by watching that the extractor depressor plunger spring is completely seated on the extractor depressor plunger, but why these parts don’t always stay together is a mystery to me. I’d like to try lightly knurling the extractor depressor plunger where the spring seats to see if that helps.
